【原文】

Saxophonist Kenny G is now the world's most successful jazz musician. He was born in 1956 as Kenny Gorelick in Seattle, USA, and he learned to play the saxophone at an early age. When he was just 15 years old, he toured Europe with his High School band. After studying at Washington University he started his career as a musician. In 1982 he signed for Arista Records and made his first solo album Kenny G.

Success came slowly at first, but during the 1990s Kenny became well-known on the international scene. He released Breathless, his most successful album so far in 1993, and in 1994 won the Best Artist Award at the 21st American Music Awards held in Los Angeles.

As well as making records, he also found time to play in front of another famous saxophone player—US President Bill Clinton—at the "Gala for the President" concert in Washington, and to break the world record for playing a single note (45 minutes and 47 seconds!) at the J & R Music World Store in New York in 1997.

During the last 20 years, Kenny G has played with superstars like Aretha Franklin, Michael Bolton and Whitney Houston, and he has sold more than 36 million albums worldwide... and he hasn't sung a note!

Senn: Everybody always has this misconception that female policemen don't do the same

thing as men do, you know. I've worked..

Interviewer: That's not true?

Senn: That is not true! I've worked my share of graveyard shifts, and, you know, split

shifts, and double-back and no days off, and...

Interviewer: Uh-huh...

Senn: ...as much as the next guy. There's no distinction used if there's a male or female

officer on duty. Two men on duty—I'll refer to as two men, ‘cause in my

field there's no difference between the genders. We're still the same. Okay, if there's

two men on duty—just because one's a female, she still gets in on the same type of

call. If there's a bar disturbance downtown, then we go too. There's been many

times where being the only officer on duty—that's it! It‘s just me and whoever

else is on duty in the county. They can come back me up if I need assistance. And it

does get a little hairy. You go in there, and you have these great big, huge

monster-guys, and they're just drunker than skunks, and can't see three feet in front

of them. And when they see you, they see fifteen people, and you know... But still,

there's enough...

Interviewer: That's where the uniform is important, I should imagine.

Senn: Sometimes, you know. If somebody is going to…or has a bad day, and they are

out to get a cop, you know, it doesn't matter if you're, you know, boy, girl,

infant or anything! When you've got that cop uniform on, they'll still take it out on

you.

Interviewer: Yeah...

Senn: But I think there's one advantage to being a female police officer. And that is the fact

that most men still have a little respect, and they won't smack you as easy as they

would one of the guys.

Interviewer: Uh-huh...

Senn: But I'll tell you one thing I‘ve learned—I'd rather deal with ten drunk men that one

drunk woman any day of the week!

Interviewer: Well, why is that?

Senn: Because women are so unpredictable. You cannot ever predict what a woman's

going to do.

Interviewer: Hmm...

Senn: Especially, if she's agitated, you know.

Interviewer: Emotionally upset.

Senn: Yeah. I saw a lady one time just get mad at the guy she was with

because he wouldn't buy her another drink— take off her high heel and lay

his head wide open. Yuch! Oh, they can be so vicious, you know.

【原文】

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At

the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window—and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！

Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who

fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called ―stunt men‖. That is to say, they perform ―tricks‖.

There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen.

For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!

But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill

and training. Often a stunt man‘s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well-paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian s …… 此处隐藏：5361字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
