一、Music and Noise 托福紅Delta聽力原文：

W:Well,I don’t know about you,but I’m totally confused about today’s lecture,especially the part about music and noise.

M:It’s not so bad,really.I think I got‘most everything in my notes.

W:So then...what is the difference between music and noise?Professor King said noise is a random sound,but then he said the sounds of a cymbal and a drumbeat were examples of noise.I’d say they’re examples of music—since they’re sounds made by musical instruments!What do you think he meant?

M:OK.Do you remember how he said that noise is a random sound?

W:Uh-huh.

M:Well,it’s a random sound that has irregular sound waves.

W:But how’s a sound that’s noise different from a sound that’s music?

M:Well,if you could take a picture of a musical note,you’d see that it has regular waves that repeat themselves.That’s because music is a sound that’s in a pattern we can hear or discern.Noise is different from music because it doesn’t have a pattern.W:But why is the sound of a drumbeat noise instead of music?Isn’t a drumbeat a note?And then...so...doesn’t it have a regular pattern of waves?

M:Maybe you’re taking what he said too literally.Maybe he meant a drumbeat is as close as a musical instrument can get to making just noise.

W:Maybe a single drumbeat is like a word spoken out of context.A single word with no context is just noise!

M:Now there’s a thought!

W:The other thing I didn’t get was what he said about antinoise.First noise,then antinoise?What do you think he meant?

M:Think of it as the opposite of noise.It’s like—wait,let me back up.Sound has waves,right?

W:Right.M:Well,we can describe these waves as“in phase”or“out of phase”with each other.“Out of phase”means reversed.

W:Uh-huh.

M:If you add two out-of-phase waves together at the same frequency,the result is antinoise—silence.

W:Antinoise is silence?

M:Right!And there’s a computer program that proves this.A microphone picks up the sound and sends it back to the computer,and then the computer reads the waves and makes sort of a mirror image,or a reverse copy of the wave.Then you can play it back against the original sound,and when the two waves meet,they sort of overlap each other...exactly at the high and low peaks.This eliminates the sound,creating zero sound—antinoise.

W:How do you know all this?Professor King didn’t talk about this.

M:It’s all in our book.Didn’t you do the reading?

W:No,I didn’t have time.I guess I’d better do that now.

M:Yeah,you should.But it’s better to do the reading before the lectures‘cause then you’ll have a better idea of what he’s talking about.

W:Yeah,you’re right.I guess I have some catching up to do.

二、Music and Noise 托福紅Delta聽力中文翻譯：

W：嗯，我不知道你是怎么想的，但我對今天的講座，尤其是關于音樂和噪音的那部分，感到非常困惑。

M：真的沒那么糟。我想我的筆記里幾乎什么都有。

W：那么。。。音樂和噪音有什么區(qū)別？金教授說，噪音是一種隨機的聲音，但后來他說，鈸和鼓聲就是噪音的例子。我要說，它們是音樂的例子，因為它們是樂器發(fā)出的聲音！你認為他是什么意思？

M：好的。你還記得他怎么說噪音是隨機的嗎？

W：嗯哼。

M：這是一種隨機的聲音，有不規(guī)則的聲波。

W：但是作為噪音的聲音和作為音樂的聲音有何不同呢？

M：如果你能拍下一個音符的照片，你會發(fā)現它有規(guī)則的波，它們會自動重復。那是因為音樂是一種我們可以聽到或辨別的聲音。噪音與音樂不同，因為它沒有規(guī)律。W：但是為什么鼓聲是噪音而不是音樂呢？鼓聲不是音符嗎？然后。。。所以它不是有規(guī)律的波浪嗎？

M：也許你把他說的話看得太字面了。也許他的意思是鼓聲離樂器發(fā)出噪音的距離很近。

W：也許一個鼓點就像一個斷章取義的詞。一個沒有上下文的單詞就是噪音！

M：現在有一個想法！

W：另一件我不明白的事是他對安蒂諾尼斯的看法。先是噪聲，然后是抗噪聲？你認為他是什么意思？

M：把它想象成噪音的反面。就像等等，讓我退后。聲音有波，對嗎？

W：對。M：我們可以把這些波描述為彼此“同相”或“異相”。“異相”指反向。

W：嗯哼。

M：如果在同一頻率下將兩個異相波相加，結果就是抗噪聲靜音。

W：Antinoise是沉默？

M：對！有一個計算機程序可以證明這一點。麥克風拾取聲音并將其發(fā)送回計算機，然后計算機讀取波形并制作鏡像或波形的反向副本。然后你可以播放原始聲音，當兩個波相遇時，它們有點相互重疊。。。正好在高峰和低谷。這樣可以消除聲音，從而產生零噪聲。

W：你怎么知道這些？金教授沒有談到這件事。

M：這都在我們的書里。你沒有做閱讀嗎？

W：沒有，我沒有時間。我想我最好現在就這樣做。

M：是的，你應該。但最好在上課前閱讀，因為這樣你就能更好地了解他在說什么。

W：是的，你說得對。我想我還有一些事情要做。
