你知道哪里有现场摇滚演出？
nǐ zhīdào nǎli yǒu xiànchǎng yáogǔn yǎnchū ？
Do you know where there are some live rock concerts?

酒吧应该有吧。你想看什么样的？
jiǔbā yīnggāi yǒu ba 。nǐ xiǎng kàn shénmayàng de ？
At the bars there should be some. What sort do you want to see?

本地乐队自己创作、自己唱的。
běndi yuèduì zìjǐ chuàngzuò 、zìjǐ chàng de 。
Local bands that write and sing their own stuff.

那你去酒吧集中的地方就对了。那儿比较热闹，应该有。
nà nǐ qù jiǔbā jízhōng de dìfang jiù duìle 。nàr5 bǐjiào rènao ，yīnggāi yǒu 。
Then it would be best go to an area with lots of bars. Wherever it’s more happening, there should be some.

你平时不喜欢看现场演出吗？
nǐ píngshí bù xǐhuan kàn xiàncháng yǎnchū ma ？
Do you usually not like to see live concerts?

还行。但是我觉得摇滚乐太闹了，所以不怎么去看。
háixíng 。dànshì wǒ juéde yáogǔnyuè tài nào le ，suǒyǐ bùzěnme qù kān 。
They’re all right. But I think live music is too noisy, so I don’t really go see it.

我呀，不管到什么地方，都要去亲身感受一下当地的摇滚乐，因为我以前也搞过乐队。
wǒ yā ，bùguǎn dào shénme dìfang ，dōu yào qù qīnshēn gǎnshòu yīxià dāngdì de yáogǔnyuè yīnwèi wǒ yǐqián yě gǎo guo yuèduì 。
As for me, no matter where I go, I always like to experience the local rock scene firsthand, because I used to be in a band.

是吗？真看不出来！有机会一定要秀一下！
shì ma ？zhēn kàn bu chūlai ！yǒu jīhuì yīdìng yào xiù yīxià ！
Really? I really couldn’t tell! If there’s a chance you’ll have to perform something.
