摘要
一位美国早期的作家詹姆斯·费尼莫尔·库珀(James Fenimore Cooper)曾说:“美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。”如果这话曾经是事实,但今日你绝不会这么认为了。大部分的美国人,甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人,都有自己喜爱的音乐类型。
James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans-even those without a musical bone in their bodies-have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."
