酒吧因为音乐而令人更加放松身心。有喜欢去泡吧的童鞋吗?今天来介绍一下澳洲酒吧经典歌曲。澳洲音乐历史悠久;如今,澳洲广播公司旗下的无线电台Triple J,则刺激了独立另类音乐(电子乐器音响和杂音混成的摇滚乐)的发展。
The glory days of Aussie music
澳洲音乐的光辉年代
But the 70s and 80s were the glory days of the classic singlet-wearing, iced-beer-drinking, footy-kicking, Australian pub rock: the kind of banging, rousing tunes that make the now-popular pop, alternative and folk tunes look soft.
然而,七八十年代是澳洲酒吧摇滚的光辉年代,穿着背心、喝着啤酒、踢着足球,大家尽情狂欢:与其铿锵有力、震撼人心的曲调相比,时兴的流行乐、另类音乐和民歌小调都稍显柔和。
Featuring on many tourism Australia advertisements and deeply connected to the true blue Aussie identity, these songs largely explore working class-Australian lifestyle and the plight of the "Aussie Battler": a function that has largely been superseded by "skip-hop" (Australian Hip Hop).
作为澳洲旅游局宣传的重点,这些音乐与澳洲蓝领息息相关,深入探索了澳洲工人阶级的生活方式以及澳洲工薪阶层的困境:而现在,这一领域已成为了澳洲嘻哈歌曲的主场。
A working-class tradition
工人阶级传统
Walk in to any pub in Australia towards the end of a larger night and you can still discover the wonder that these classics hold. Huge men, sometimes still in their flannies, fluoros and Blundstones from work, sway in time and stand in big circles, belting out the perfectly memorised lyrics to "Khe Sanh" by Cold Chisel (which speaks of the culture amongst young Australians during the Vietnam war).
深夜走进澳洲任意一间酒吧,你仍能感受到这些经典歌曲的魔力。彪形大汉,有时还穿着工作装,随着音乐摇摆,在围成圈的人群中,一字不差地欢唱着Cold Chisel乐队的“Khe Sanh”(这首歌讨论了越南战争时期澳洲年轻人间的文化现象)。
These Australian classics give Aussies the opportunity to show their love for their mates and their love for the great brown land without explicitly having to state it. It can be quite a novel, laughable sight if you're not a local. There are many of these emotion-stirring staples, and they are far from the AC/DC tracks a foreigner might expect (most of the bands mentioned never reached widespread fame outside of Australia).
透过这些澳洲经典歌曲,澳洲人间接表达了对同胞及这片土地的深切热爱。如果你不是本国人,你可能会觉得很新奇,也很可笑。这些歌曲中,有很多触动人心的主题,而不仅仅局限于外国人所能想到的AC/DC摇滚乐队的歌曲。

If you want to fit in when it reaches the end of the night and all your mates grip each other's arms for a big group sing along, get comfortable with these ripper tracks:
