Bobby: Some singers just seem to keep on singing even when they are haggard.
Kelly: Why should a singer stop just because they are getting on in years?
Bobby: Singing is for young people. Old folks always look so pathetic when they try to act younger than they are.
Kelly: People like Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones were so cool when they were young, but now they just look like sad old men.
Bobby: But their fans still want them to keep going.
Kelly: Sometimes you have to ignore your fans and do what is right.
Bobby: Maybe he likes singing so much that he can't stop?
Kelly: I think that he likes the money he makes from singing.
Bobby: Well, that seems like a good reason to me!
鲍比：一些歌手似乎就是到了老态龙钟的时候也还在坚持唱歌。
凯莉：为什么歌手仅仅因为上了年纪就应该停下来？
鲍比：唱歌是年轻人的事。当老人设法去装嫩的时候，他们总是看起来很可怜。
凯莉：像滚石乐队的米克·贾格尔这样的人，他们年轻的时候很酷，不过现在他们看起来就像是悲哀的老人。
鲍比：不过他们的歌迷还是希望他们继续唱下去。
凯莉：有时候你得忽略你的歌迷，去做正确的事情。
鲍比：也许他太喜欢唱歌了，停不下来？
凯莉：我认为他喜欢从唱歌挣来的钱。
鲍比：唔，在我看来那是一个好理由！

Dialogue（对话）
Jessie: I heard a song on the radio that changed my life.
Tina: Wow! That sounds like a great song.
Jessie: It was! It had a good beat that you could dance to and powerful lyrics.
Tina: Usually songs that are good to dance have terrible words.
Jessie: I know and that is why I say that this song will change my life.
Tina: Because now you can dance and sing at the same time?
Jessie: That's right! Maybe I could start a whole new type of exercise program?
Tina: You will need to find more than just one song though.
Jessie: Hmmm. I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I will listen to the song again!
杰西：我在收音机上听到了一首歌，它改变了我的生活。
蒂娜：哇！那听起来像是一首很棒的歌。
杰西：没错！它的节奏很强，你可以跟着跳舞，而且歌词也很有感染力。
蒂娜：通常来说，可以用来伴舞的歌曲歌词都很差劲。
杰西：我知道，这也就是为什么我说这首歌将要改变我生活的原因。
蒂娜：因为现在你可以一边跳舞，一边唱歌？
杰西：说对了！也许我可以开始一项全新的训练计划？
蒂娜：不过只有一首歌还不够，你得多找一些歌曲。
杰西：嗯。我没有想过这个。也许我要再听这首歌一遍！
