Music of Recycling is an orchestra1 in Spain. Its made up of about 25 youngpeople. They play instruments made from recycled materials， such as plastic cans.The orchestra has two goals. One is to give new life to things people throw away. Theother is to help kids who might not have other opportunities2 to learn music.

“回收音樂(lè)”是西班牙的一個(gè)管弦樂(lè)隊(duì)。它由大約25 名年輕人組成。他們演奏的樂(lè)器是由塑料罐之類的回收材料制成的。樂(lè)隊(duì)有兩個(gè)目標(biāo)：一個(gè)是賦予人們?nèi)拥舻臇|西新的生命，另一個(gè)是幫助那些可能沒(méi)有其他機(jī)會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)音樂(lè)的孩子。

Have you ever seen a bass3 guitar like this？ The body is made out of an oldskateboard. The guitars neck， the long and narrow part， looks recycled， too.

你見(jiàn)過(guò)這樣的低音吉他嗎？它的主體由一塊舊滑板制成。這個(gè)吉他的琴頸，即又長(zhǎng)又窄的那部分，看起來(lái)也是回收再利用的。

The violin of the orchestra is also special. The strings4 seem to be held in placeby a fork. Do you think the violin sounds the same as the regular one？ Which wouldyou like to play？

這個(gè)樂(lè)隊(duì)的小提琴同樣也很特殊。琴弦似乎是用叉子固定的。你覺(jué)得這把小提琴和普通小提琴的聲音聽(tīng)起來(lái)一樣嗎？你想演奏哪個(gè)？
