Karaoke was invented in Japan and its name is a combination of

卡拉OK是日本發明的，它的名字是由以下幾個字組成的

different Japanese words – but what words?

不同的日語單詞--但什麼單詞？

b)憤怒的貓嗎，或者，c)空蕩蕩的管絃樂隊嗎？

I'm tempted to say b), angry cat, but that would be mean,

我很想說b)，憤怒的貓，但那就太刻薄了。

OK, Georgina. I'll take that as a compliment.

好吧，喬治娜。我就當你是在恭維我。

But however good - or bad - my singing may be,

Listen out for the different body parts Marijke mentions:

聽聽Marijke提到的不同身體部位。

Vocal folds, also called vocal cords, are crucial here.

聲帶，也叫聲帶，在這裡至關重要。

They're two flaps of skin stretched across your larynx that

forwards when air from the lungs moves over them.

The vocal chords are stretched over the larynx -

Singing is similar to what happens when you play a guitar.

The vocal cords act like the guitar strings to produce

聲帶的作用就像吉他的琴絃一樣，能產生

a buzz or vibration – a continuous and quick shaking movement.

They vibrate over the larynx which, like the body of a guitar,

它們在喉頭上振動，而喉頭，就像吉他的琴身。

So why do some people (Neil!) find it hard to sing in tune?
