🖐🏽 五分鐘來關心國際時事— 葛萊美獎🇺🇸
📰 At Grammy Nominations, Nods to Beyoncé and Taylor Swift but The Weeknd Is Snubbed
The music awards offer an unusual mix of conventional and little-known artists, who also surprise with top nods
📌 這篇文章關於流行音樂,用了生動、屬於口語的詞匯,值得大家學習。Grammy就是美國著名的格蘭美音樂獎,標題提到格蘭美肯定碧昂絲和泰勒斯,所用的字是nod (點頭),威肯則被冷落了(snubbed)。
The Grammy Award nominations are out, and there is a glaring number of unexpected nods and snubs: Less-known artists like Jacob Collier and Black Pumas and rock institution Coldplay scored nominations for top prizes. But The Weeknd? Shut out completely.
📌 這段提述格蘭美獎給公佈了(out),一些不太爲人所知的藝人(lesser-known artists)和在搖滾音樂裏是出名的人 (rock institution)獲得提名大獎 (top prizes),但是 The Weekend被摒棄(shut out)。
It’s a surprising turn: A year ago, the annual awards show seemed to have a finger on pop music’s new guard. But the nominees for next year’s prizes, announced by the Recording Academy on Tuesday, are a mix of quirky and conventional, with small, niche artists receiving high-profile nods, widely favored and zeitgeisty acts getting snubbed and established names instead of newcomers dominating overall nominations. Next year’s Grammys will take place on Jan. 31 in Los Angeles, hosted by “The Daily Show” host and comedian Trevor Noah
📌 這段形容這是令人驚訝的事態的變化(surprising turn)。一年前,格蘭美獎似乎確定(have a finger on)流行音樂的新衛士派(new guard),今年情況不一樣。
.
Three of the eight nominations for the most prestigious prize, Album of the Year, went to R&B singer Jhené Aiko, genre-crossing music prodigy Jacob Collier and retro-soul duo Black Pumas. These are less commercially-successful artists that have currency with Grammy voters but may be unfamiliar to most music fans. Veteran rock band Coldplay was also nominated in the category, a surprise given the lack of buzz in the run-up to the nominations. And the only rapper recognized for the top award is Post Malone, who straddles the fence with pop music. Other nominees in this category include pop star Dua Lipa—considered a major contender—Taylor Swift and rock sister-trio Haim. Beyoncé, who leads the pack with nine nominations overall, is the most nominated female artist in Grammy history.
📌 這段交代各得獎人的細節,當中使用流行音樂常見的詞匯,學了這些詞匯可以提高這方面的表達能力。
In perhaps the biggest upset this year, R&B-pop crooner The Weeknd was shut out of all award nominations. The Canadian superstar was considered a frontrunner by many in the music business, having released one of 2020’s most successful and praised albums, “After Hours.” (The Weeknd is also playing next year’s Super Bowl.) On Monday, “Blinding Lights,” one of The Weeknd’s recent songs, became the longest-running Top-Ten hit in the 62-year history of Billboard’s singles chart.
On Tuesday evening, The Weeknd criticized his Grammy shut-out on Twitter. “The Grammys remain corrupt,” he said. “You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency.”
In response, the Recording Academy’s interim CEO and President, Harvey Mason Jr., said it was an “unusual and competitive year.”
“We understand that The Weeknd is disappointed... I was surprised and can empathize,” Mr. Mason Jr. said. He also addressed speculation that The Weeknd was asked to pick between performing at the Super Bowl and the Grammys. “Voting in all categories ended well before The Weeknd’s performance at the Super Bowl was announced, so in no way could it have affected the nomination process,” Mr. Mason Jr. said.
📌 這三段關於威肯指責格蘭美獎腐敗的(corrupt),缺乏透明度(transparency),格蘭美獎負責人的反應(response)是今年是不尋常的(unusual)和競爭激烈的(competitive)。 他也回應一個揣測(speculation),說威肯不獲提名獎項跟在美國橄欖球超級杯大賽(Super Bowl) 表演無關。

The band "Alien Avenge" was formed in Taichung, Taiwan, in 2008, where Hevy Metal was just about to vanished at the verymoment. The six members of the band decided to keep metal despite the hard condition they faced and started their heavy invasion towards Taiwan's metalheads. Through their outstanding guitar riffs and vocal lines, they soon became one of the most identifiable band in Taiwan with remarkable and unique music style. During the first year after the band was formed, they were already invited to perfrom on all kinds of stages. From live house to music festival, they had been invited to play for "The Jump Festival" 、"Rock Taichung music festival" and had even been perfroming with"Chthonic"、"Solemn" 、"Hatebreed"from American, and "Head Phones President" from Japan.
Alien Avenge released their first EP "Alien Avenge" in 2009, which lately became a great success in Taiwan's heavy metal circle. With the new remix of the three songs from the EP, they are now ready to have their first album-"Tonatiuh" out in 2010. Along with the Cthonic's band leader, "Doris", as a guest singer for the song "MELTING", Alien Avenge is now even more skillful and powerful than before. Today, they are not just ready to show their music to Taiwan, but to all the metalheads in the whole world!
"I was invited to be involved in the female vocal recording of a song of the album "TONATIUH" by Alien Avenge early this year. Besides the concept and the name of the album , I'm also surprised by the composing and the various layers of death/black screams by the vocal.
However, continual passions and faith is one of the important elements to run a band. I saw this fancy and pure flame comes out from Alien Avenge and it keeps lighting up at the metal scene in Taiwan. I'm proud to suggest this excellent album to all the metal heads around the world, this is another Taiwanese metal monster that you can't miss!!!"
~from Doris(CHTHONIC)
