咱们去唱卡拉

ok吧。 let’s go to karaoke. *尽管卡拉ok在美国的大城市比照受等待，可是并不广泛。美国人称卡拉ok为“carry o.k.”。
let’s go to karaoke! (咱们去唱卡拉ok吧。)
sorry, i’m tone-deaf. (对不住，我五音不全。)

啥是卡拉ok? what is karaoke?
就是合着录音带的音乐一同歌唱。singing along with recorded music.
你歌唱擅长吗? are you good at singing?
我想点首歌。 i’d like to request a song.
你先唱。you sing first. = go ahead.
= after you.

我们高兴地玩吧! let’s enjoy ourselves.
约翰，你来唱一首吧。how about a song, john?
你方案唱啥歌? what are you going to

sing?
来个二重唱吧。let’s sing a duet.
如今轮到我了。now it’s my turn. = it’s finally my turn. (总算轮到我了。)

我不敢在我们面前歌唱。i don’t have the nerve to sing in front of people. *have the nerve to…“敢做……， 有做……胆量”。
i don’t have the guts to sing in front of people.

我跟不上新歌的速度(我不会唱新歌。) i can’t keep up with the new songs. *keep up with…“跟上，不落后于……”。
i can’t keep track of the new music.
i can’t learn the new songs fast enough.

我五音

不全。i’m tone-deaf. = i have no ear for music.
= my singing is out of tune. (我歌唱总跑调儿。)

你唱卡拉ok有啥擅长的歌吗? what’s your karaoke specialty? = what’s your best song?
= which songs do you sing the best?

我历来没传闻过那首歌。i’ve never heard of that song. = do you know that song? (你晓得那首歌吗?)
= no, i’ve never heard of that song. (没有，我历来没传闻过那首歌。)

你唱得真好! you’re a good singer! = you sing very well!
= well done! (唱得好。)
= good job! (太棒了!)
