N: no, I am saying the truth. I am listening a song here now. (我在听一首歌)

　　B: name

　　N:“December”, u heard of it? (“十二月”，有没有听过)

　　B: no

　　N: the“December”is so strong in that way. It brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face at the same time, OW.

　　B: sound incredible

　　N: and I love Kenny, I wonderswhereshis songs come from himself, it’s almost like a memory from another time.

　　B: his soul- memories? (他的灵魂深处的记忆？)

　　N: yes, when he sing, it sounds like my insides J

　　B: I’d like to download this song somewhere or buy his CD (我想下载这首歌或者是到哪买他的CD)

　　N: he’s great, he does care what his listeners think.(他很棒，而且很注意听取歌迷的意见)

　　B: that’s unusual, that’s contrary to popular belief.

　　N: constantly

　　B: is he a cool man?

　　N: very cool, he got all his different haircuts over the last 25 years , that’s funny. (他非常酷，过去25年中他有过各种不同的发型)

　　B: u mean u always get moved by him, by his song?

　　N: oh, if it can get it to move me….it usually moves others, and I think he is great, he tried to nail down exactly what he’s feeling in one moment in time.

　　B: that doesn’t come easily to a lot of people(这不是寻常人办得到的)

　　N: yes, that’s his gift, true…

　　B: u make me want to know him instantly

　　N: u can count on it!

　　B: I know, nikky, u never made me down.

　　【注】Nikky谈到了她很喜爱的一个歌手兼作曲人Kenny，而我则闻所未闻，我一点也不为自己的孤陋寡闻感到沮丧，因为我知道这其实就是文化的差异，我曾经遇到过这种情况，两个外国人说起70年代的某某歌星，聊的特别起劲，而我连谁谁都不知道，几乎插不上什么话，就象我们说自己的故事一样，比如我们一说起《小兵张嘎》，都知道，而外国人根本不知道怎么回事，还要给他解释半天，完了以后他也许还拢拢肩说，这有什么意思。我们老在说要沟通文化差异，实际上是很难的，尤其是血液里面的东西。

　　N: that is great to hear.

　　B: just like your Heather

　　N: oh, wow, he’s so adorable.(它很讨人喜爱)

　　B: aww!
