I like listening to live music better than I like listening to recorded music.
比起聽錄制的音樂,我更喜歡聽現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的音樂。
And when I listen to live music, I prefer jazz. Jazz started in America a long time ago, but now people all over the world play it and enjoy it.
我喜歡爵士樂。爵士樂起源于美國(guó),現(xiàn)在,爵士樂在世界范圍內(nèi)都十分受歡迎。
Jazz is special for 2 reasons.
說(shuō)爵士樂特別有兩個(gè)原因。
The first is that the beat (or you can say rhythm) is opposite that of normal music.
首先是因?yàn)樗墓?jié)奏,和其它的音樂很不一樣。
Secondly, jazz players always improvise, which means every time they play live, they don’t have to follow all the notes from the song—they can play the same song differently every time.
第二,因?yàn)榫羰繕方?jīng)常可以即興創(chuàng)作,在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演奏的時(shí)候,不需要完全根據(jù)歌譜來(lái)進(jìn)行,每一次都可以演奏得有新意。
【導(dǎo)讀——當(dāng)你聽到自己喜歡的歌曲,大腦就會(huì)分泌多巴胺,即所謂的“快感荷爾蒙”。反之,如果聽到自己討厭的歌曲,大腦的攻擊與逃避中心就會(huì)受到刺激,使體內(nèi)腎上腺素濃度上升??靵?lái)看看音樂是怎么影響你的!】
We know that the brain is musical because there are specific neural circuits. And by that, I mean specific regions of the brain dedicated to processing music and nothing else. Our brain structure changes every time we learn something new.
我們都知道大腦喜歡音樂,因?yàn)槠渲杏刑囟ǖ纳窠?jīng)回路。也就是說(shuō),大腦中存在專門掌管音樂的神經(jīng)區(qū)域。每一次我們接受新事物,大腦結(jié)構(gòu)就會(huì)同時(shí)發(fā)生一些改變。
Music activates neurons in more regions of the brain than almost anything else scientists know of. He said that music causes the release of neurochemicals in our brains.
音樂是所有事物當(dāng)中對(duì)神經(jīng)元刺激最廣的,它能引起大腦神經(jīng)化學(xué)物質(zhì)的分泌。
For example, listening to music you like causes the release of dopamine, the so called “feel good” hormone, and on the opposite side, listening to music you hate, will activate the amygdala, the brain’s fight or flight center, and that will cause a release of adrenaline.
比如說(shuō),當(dāng)你聽到自己喜歡的歌曲,大腦就會(huì)分泌多巴胺,即所謂的“快感荷爾蒙”。反之,如果聽到自己討厭的歌曲,大腦的攻擊與逃避中心杏仁核就會(huì)受到刺激,使體內(nèi)腎上腺素濃度上升。
we are all musical experts, because we know the kind of music that resonates with us on an emotional level.
每個(gè)人都是音樂專家,因?yàn)槿巳硕贾朗裁礃拥囊魳窌?huì)引起自己情感上的共鳴。
A lot of people use a certain kind of music to get going in the morning, to get out of bed, to get them through an exercise workout, to calm themselves down at the end of the day. We’re using music in the same way we use drugs, really, for emotional regulation, partly because of the way it can modulate our neurochemistry, affecting our moods.
許多人在音樂聲中開始新的一天,早上伴著它起床,晚上隨著它入睡,健身的時(shí)候一邊聽著音樂,一天結(jié)束的時(shí)候用音樂平復(fù)自己的心情。人們利用音樂的方式和用藥是一樣的,的確如此,音樂可以用來(lái)調(diào)節(jié)情緒,這部分是由于它能調(diào)節(jié)人的神經(jīng)化學(xué)狀態(tài),對(duì)我們的情緒有很大的影響作用。
