Chinese rock show last night - an educational experience

[ouyangjun]

Last night I went to Suzhou's Wave Livehouse to see a Beijing based rock band called 蒙太奇.  The show was great.  Not only did I enjoy the music, but I picked up on some new vocab words due to this concert.  To me this is the most fun way to learn... done naturally, not a focused effort, but something you just pick up.  Here are the words:

 

蒙太奇 - montage.  This is the band name.  I believe 蒙太奇 is a loan word.

 

五彩缤纷 - colorful.  I learned this one from their song 《五彩缤纷的生活》. 

 

渐行渐远 - to gradually go further and further apart.  This one I also learned from the song of the same name.

 

So there's three vocab words that I learned from Rock music concert... Now you can claim going to concerts is educational.
