Bobby: Do you prefer music for your feet or music for your head?
Kelly: I like both but at different times.
Kelly: I like dance music in the morning but songs with nice lyrics at night.
Bobby: We are the same then. I love to put some loud funky music on in the morning as I am getting ready for work.
Kelly: And at night I like to sing along with my favorite love songs.
Bobby: Music really does have the power to alter your moods then?
Kelly: It sure does! Music can make me melancholy or ecstatic!
Bobby: I hope that you listened to music that makes you ecstatic before work and not songs that made you sad.
Kelly: My job makes me sad anyway!
鲍比:你喜欢舞曲还是抒情歌曲?
凯丽:我都喜欢只是时间不同。
凯丽:我喜欢早晨听舞曲,晚上听词曲优美的歌儿。
鲍比:那么我们俩一样。我喜欢在早晨准备上班的时候大声放一些节奏强烈的音乐。
凯丽:而晚上的时候我喜欢跟唱我最喜欢的爱情歌曲。
鲍比:这么说音乐确实能改变你的情绪了?
剀丽:没错!音乐能让我变得伤感或者兴奋!
鲍比:我希望你在上班前能听一些让你兴奋的音乐,而不是让你伤感的歌。
凯丽:可我的工作让我很不开心!
