Edinburgh Festival Fringe 爱丁堡边缘艺术节
John: We’re in festival mood today. We’re in a town where hundreds of plays are currently being performed, countless comedies are being staged, and there’s music and events happening all over the place. I’m John and with me is Chen Li, but where are we?
Tell us Li.
Chen Li: We are in Edinburgh, and we are at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. 爱丁堡边缘艺术节,这里每年都有一个艺术节,有戏剧, theatre, 喜剧 comedy, 音乐 music, 和其他的艺术表演 the arts. 从8月到9月间, 这个城市聚集了各色各样的表演者, 但是为什么叫爱丁堡边缘艺术节呢? John, why?
John: Well, the Edinburgh Festival isn’t just one festival but many. The Festival Fringe was originally a smaller arts festival that ran alongside the main festival, but now it’s outgrown the main festival.
Chen Li: 当我们说”边缘”艺术节, 我们通常谈论的是一个在主要的爱丁堡艺术节之外,另外的一个表演活动,换句话说, 就是附加的一个艺术活动, 或者说在官方主体的节日活动之外,额外的表演项目。
John: Both events are amazing, but it's the Fringe Festival that attracts the most avant-garde or experimental productions.
