 　　讲解

　　Today’s key word is Adele.

　　阿黛尔是一名英国歌手和作曲人。没错，我们今天我们的key word是一个人名。啊，请允许我今天小小任性一下。充满私心的跟大家一起聊聊我最喜欢的歌手之一。

　　为啥，选在这期节目里聊呢。因为， SHE IS BACK!

　　你听：

　　(AYE/Soundbites/Adele Tease 26”) Isn’t it beautiful?

　　这个就是阿黛尔发布的新专辑其中一首歌的预告。

　　It's been nearly five years since the release of her last studio album（专辑）.

　　五年啊！

　　In posts on her Facebook and new Instagram pages, the London-born singer, confirmed（确定） her long-awaited album would be released on November 20 along with the cover art（封面）.

　　要等到，11月20号才能听吗，不是滴。主打歌HELLO这周五就可以听到了。

　　About Adele:

　　At the 51st Annual Grammy Awards(格莱美), Adele received the awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal¹ Performance.

　　她的唱片《21》还被录入吉尼斯纪录。21 is the longest running number one album by a female solo（独唱） artist in the history of the UK and U.S. Album Charts（榜单）.

　　大家或多或少应该都听过她的吧，比如这首：

　　（Never mind I will find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best for you too.-Someone like you）

　　Although she hasn’t release any new album for almost 5 years, her songs have been covered by many singers, especially in many auditions² like kpopstar in South korea.
