这样说来倒也没错，《基督山伯爵》的主人公爱德蒙唐泰斯遭人陷害身陷囹圄，《琅玡榜》的主人公林殊全家被人算计，差一点葬身战场，两部作品都是以主人公的不幸遭遇开头。

That's actually not wrong, the protagonist of The Count of Monte Cristo, Edmond Dantes is set up and taken prisoner, whereas someone conspires against the entire family of Lin Shu, the protagonist of Nirvana in Fire, and he almost dies on the battlefield. The two stories all start with the suffering of the protagonist.

当然咯。这也就是大乐队的魅力。十几个乐手在一起演奏爵士经典，穿插即兴发挥，调动观众的积极性。观众越投入，乐手也就越来劲儿。那种现场感，保证你一听钟情！

Of course. That's also the charm of a Big Band. A bunch of musicians performing jazz classics together, alternating and improvising, getting the audience involved. The more energy the audience gives, the more energetically the musicians play. I guarantee it'll be love the first time you get that live-show feeling.

I can do two things at once. It sure deserves the name ''Big Band"-- such extravagance! Jazz drums, trumpets, trombones, saxaphones, piano, and there's a conductor, too. Putting on such a big show takes a lot of work.
