美語情景對話 第214期:電臺主持人 The DJ

Todd: Alex, can you talk a little about working at a radio station?

託德：亞歷克斯，你可以談談在廣播電臺的工作嗎？

Alex: Yeah, sure. The Radio station at my school is called WMKP. I'm actually a DJ. Well, not the turn table DJ per se, but a DJ that just plays music and talks on the air a lot, so I do that a lot and that's really fun because I can have guests over and I can play, I like all kinds of music, and where I am only people listen to certain types, so I like to sort of open their ears to many different kinds of music from, I don't know, electronic, to classical, to jazz, to whatever I feel like playing. And it's really a bunch of fun. You make a whole lot of friends and you meet bands too because we have, we hold concerts sometimes so, you know, maybe I'm working at the radio station. I'm part of the staff at the concerts and I meet a lot of bands. It's really a very, very, very, very, very fun.

亞歷克斯：當然可以。那是我們學校的廣播電臺，名叫WMKP。實際上我是電臺主持人。嗯，並不是那種打碟的DJ，我屬於播放音樂，並在廣播中和聽衆聊天的電臺主持人，我是這麼做的，我覺得很有意思，因爲我可以請嘉賓來做客節目，而且我還會放各種各樣的音樂，有些人只聽特定種類的音樂，所以我會給他們介紹各種不同種類的音樂，有電子樂，古典樂，爵士樂，任何我想播放的音樂。v那真的很有趣。你會交到很多朋友，而且會和樂隊見面，因爲我們有時會舉行音樂會，所以你知道，我就是在廣播電臺工作。我是音樂會的其中一名工作人員，我會見到許多樂隊。這真的非常非常非常非常有趣。
