Hello, everybody! This is Malcolm again. Just to wrap up my talk about “Generations in Jazz” in Mount Gambier on Australia’s leading Jazz festivals. The winner of the James Morrison scholarship from the previous year is always flow and back to Mount Gambier the following year to work and perform with the current bunch of kids, the six finalists who compete for the scholarship, that’s the thing we introduce very early and it’s worked extremely well.

大家好，又是我，Malcolm。我简单总结一下澳大利亚干比尔山的主要爵士音乐节“Generations in Jazz”。通常在上一届音乐节中获得詹姆斯·莫里森奖学金的获奖者在第二年又会回到甘比尔山工作，而且还会和当届争夺决赛奖学金的六个组的孩子一起演奏乐器。我在之前也介绍过爵士音乐节赛事方面的事情，音乐节一直以来都办得不错。

Because the winner has 12 months that done their CD within a few months, and then like nearly all the winners they have gone up to into the world of music and jazz in particular to either you know, work professionally and not just in Australia but it may be anywhere, you know we’ve had some working in the Philippines, the USA of course where Jazz is very strong which is where a sort of jazz originated, and the UK, Japan. So, you know, these winners who are at extremely high level even in the early 20th are working professionally.

因为获胜者会有12个月的时间去深造自己，他们会在几个月内录制完自己的CD,就像几乎所有的成功者一样,他们已经迈进了世界音乐界以及爵士乐界的大门，他们会从事音乐方面的专业工作。不仅在澳大利亚,它还可能是任何地方,你要知道我们已经有一些获奖者在菲律宾工作,当然还有美国,毕竟美国是一些爵士乐的发源地，还有在英国,日本工作的。所以，你知道，这些在20世纪早期就已经处于非常高水平的赢家都在专业地工作。

One of the other things that is very interesting that has just developed in the last probably the last decade I would say, but it certainly solidified and has become something that kids are really inspired to, that happened particularly in the last five years and there is a called “Generations in Jazz Academy” basically generations in jazz set up was in Mount Gambier itself . They got involved with one of the private schools there, one of the colleges called Tennessean college, and who were able to provide “Generations in Jazz” with boarding facilities for the kids who live there, and also music rooms for the kids to study.

另一件事情非常有趣,我可以说也许是最近十年才发展起来的,但是那确实是激发孩子学习音乐的重要因素。确切地说是五年前,在干比尔山建立了一所人们管它叫做“爵士乐学院”的学校。那里有一所叫做“田纳西大学学院”的学校也参与到“Generations in Jazz”活动中来，他们能够为住在那里的孩子们提供“Generations in Jazz”的寄宿设施，还有供孩子们学习的音乐室。

And so what happens from the A division, A competition of the stage bands the sixteen piece big bands, James will select from listening to all of the young musicians. Another super band that is the cream of the crop(精英；顶尖人才). The best of those young musicians come out of the wards, these bands in division A and then they are formed into a super band. They preform on the Sunday, Sunday afternoon as the super band for the first tone they’ve never rehearse before together, they give the band a half an hour rehearse with a couple of pieces that they’ve performed for the accordions itself or they deduce to two or three thousand people.

那么爵士音乐节赛事中的A组又发生了什么呢，舞台上有16支大乐队参与比赛，詹姆斯会聆听所有的年轻音乐家的演奏然后做出选择。音乐节的另一个亮点就是超级乐队。从自各个参赛乐队中选出来的最优秀的年轻音乐家，然后他们在A区组成了一个超级乐队。从未在一起排练过的音乐家们作为超级乐队会在周日，周日下午排练半个小时，他们为现场二三千的观众或者为手风琴演奏家演奏之前表演过的曲目。

But from that, they gives them an entry or academic entry to as like (you could say as like) year thirteen course. In Australia, you finish high school at year 12, grade 12 and then you might go to the work into the work force, or you might go to university. But these kids in a sense go to a music university, they live in Mount Gambier for 12 months at Tennessean college and they are instructed in performance in arranging music in competition everything to do with jazz by some of the top Australian musicians as well as we bring in some from overseas, for (you know) it might be a week in workshop for two or three days. By the end of the 12 months, of course the students (you know) have gone to and even higher level in their standards of music which puts them in a really good position to go out and teach themselves of if they wanna do that and work professionally.

但从那以后，他们会得到学术深造的机会，就像我们说的十三年级的课程。在澳大利亚，你12年级毕业或者12年级完成高中学业之后你可能去工作，或者进入劳动力市场，或者你可能去上大学。但是这些孩子从某种意义上说就是去一个音乐大学,他们在山甘比尔的田纳西学院里住12个月,他们会被安排到与国内外的顶级爵士音乐家一起演奏或者参赛,(你知道的),这样的workshop可能是一个星期或者两到三天。在这12个月的深造结束的时候，学生们在他们的音乐水平上都得到了很大提升，甚至达到了更高的水平。如果他们想要从事音乐专业方面的工作的话，他们自己也有能力自学或者去外面工作。

So that just about wraps up of what I wanna tell you about “Generations in Jazz”, you can check it out on the “Generations in Jazz Website” if you want to. So if you ever go to Australia for a holiday and you are in the south Australia in May, as it usually hold in May every year, you could attend that event and enjoy some jazz, some great wine and cheese or other great treats like the areas are very famous also for steak you know for beef, really good quality beef. And, okay, alright until next time. Bye bye.

以上就是我想告诉你们的关于“Generations in Jazz”的内容，如果你愿意，你可以在“Generations in Jazz网站”上看看。所以如果你要去澳大利亚度假,并且5月的时候你刚好又在南澳大利亚的话,你可以参加这个活动,因为它通常是每年5月举行,你可以享受一些爵士乐,品尝一些顶级的葡萄酒和奶酪或其领略当地其他的一些优质资源。当地的牛排是非常有名的、你要知道，那都是用真正优质的好牛肉做出来的。好吧，下次聊。再见。
