从古欧洲的吟游诗人，到如今的国际街头艺术节，人们对街头艺术的看法向来是一分为二的。有些人认为它在本质上就是一种艺术，而另外一些人则认为，它与乞讨没有什么不同，只不过是一种高级的、体面的乞讨方式罢了。不过，话又说回来，能说服路人为你的表演买单，也算得上一种艺术了。
A busker is someone who performs music or an act on the street. The most common kind of busker plays a guitar. Passers-by will drop money into his/her guitar case. However, players of other instruments,from the classical violin to the handsaw, are also buskers. In fact,any kind of street performance can be regarded as a form of busking.This includes fire-breathers, jugglers,storytellers,mime artists and dancers.
