荷兰人吹出最响的呜呜祖拉

2010-06-25来源:和谐英语

荷兰队顺利晋级16强,荷兰人自然是十分开心,这不,他们找到了一种情感宣泄的好方式-吹呜呜祖拉。不仅如此,他们还试图制造“呜呜祖拉世界最强音”。

They might be from a small Dutch town, but they've gathered to make a very big noise.

Hollander seems has embraced the Vuvuzela with gusto after the side qualified for the last 16. 300 people got together in this town to set the record for the loudest Vuvuzela noise made by a crowd.

"This idea came from everyone was complaining about the Vuvuzela noise. Just say it's an awful noise. But no, it's not awful. It's just fun to have a toy like that and make a lot of noise with it so I thought, okay, we make a spectacle from it and we try to make as much noise that you can possibly make with a Vuvuzela. "

Observers were on hand with decibel meters and a simultaneous blow peak: 127.5 decibels. To put that in perspective, a plane on the runway or a drum cymbal crashing usually generates around 120.

Notes:
with gusto: 兴致勃勃地,津津有味地;充满活力地
其中,gusto意为“爱好, 由衷的高兴, 嗜好”。
例如:
They attacked their meal with gusto.
他们大吃大喝。

be on hand with: 拿在手头
其中,on hand意为“在手头; 在场; 即将发生”。
例如:
He has too much work on hand to go picnicking with us.
他手头的工作太多了,不能跟我们去野餐。

decibel meter: 分贝计,分贝表
