Turn to p,123,and listen to the text,
In the money-dominated and stylish 80s,everyone loved the cool
and sophisticated soul singer Sade but in the 90s the British publics
seem to have fallen out of love with her,
In 1984,Sade leapt to fame with the release of her debut
single Your Love Is King,which went straight into the British
To Ten charts,and her debut album Diamond Life,which
stayed in the UK charts for 98 weeks and was the biggest
selling debut album by a British female singer,Her music was
played everywhere,her face appeared on countless magazine
covers,and she was hounded by the media,
But just over a decade later,the picture has changed
dramatically,and Sade’s Diamond Life,in Britain at least,is
over,Her fourth album Love Deluxe,released in 1992,sold
only a fraction of her first tow albums Diamond Life and
Promise (1985),and was criticized by some as being too much
like her previous albums,
All That’s Happening in the Music
World
Only one song,No Ordinary Love,got into the Top 20
charts (number14); towards the end of last year,The Best of
Sade was released,whose sales,again,are far less than those
of her first two albums,
So,why have Sade’s UK fans deserted her? Between her
third album Stronger Than Pride (1988) and Love Deluxe,there
was a gap of four years,British music fans have very short
memories,and four years without releasing even a single is not
the best way to keep yourself popular and in the charts,
Then there is her music,Her style is restrained and
understated,something that the UK white rock establishment
has always found difficult to distinguish from blandness,It
suited perfectly the affluent and stylish 80s but is now clearly
out of fashion in the hard,rap-dominated 90s,
All That’s Happening in the Music
World
Sade doesn’t seem too worried by her now fickle British
supporters and for two good reasons,Firstly,she is still hugely
popular throughout the world,She has sold over 32.5 million
albums world-wide,and in the United States,her album sales
rival those of Madonna and Michael Jackson,
Secondly,she is a very private person,She disliked the
intense publicity of the 80s,and now enjoys her relative
obscurity,From hr north London house,she can come and go
as she pleases.,People here are indifferent to me now and I
enjoy that indifference,” she says,
Sade herself is not clear as to why her UK fans stopped
buying her albums.,It makes me wonder why they ever liked us
in the first place,When I really like some music,I don’t just get
tired of it like that,” she says,” It can be very hostile,England,
All That’s Happening in the Music
World
Not just to me,to everybody,England’s like a sour old
auntie,You go and stay with her although she criticizes you all
the time and doesn’t treat you right,even when you’re doing
your best,But you keep on loving her,in a certain way.”

乐坛沉浮
1984年，萨黛凭借她首次推出的一曲“你的爱情之王”一举成
名，这首歌曲也直接冲进了英国每周金曲榜的前十名，她的处女大
碟“钻石人生”，居英国每周金曲榜达 98周之久，成为英国历史上
最畅销的女歌手专辑。那时，她的乐曲到处在播放，她的面孔登上
了无数杂志的封面，她成了媒体追逐的对象。
但仅仅十年之后，情况发生了戏剧性的变化，萨黛的“钻石人
生”至少在英国结束了。她的第四张专辑“奢侈的爱”，发行于
1992年，只卖得前两张专辑“钻石人生”和“承诺”（ 1985年）销
量的一小部分，并因与前两张的风格太相近而遭到一些人的批评。
只有一首歌“不要平凡的爱”进入金曲榜前 20名（第 14）；到去年
底，“最棒的萨黛”发行了，但其销售量远不如她最早的两张。
那么，萨黛的英国歌迷们为什么冷落她呢？在她的第三张专辑
“强于自豪”（ 1988年）和“奢侈的爱”之间，有长达四年的间隔。
英国的歌迷们记忆力并不好，四年不出一首新歌可不是保持知名度
和稳局金曲榜的好方法。
乐坛沉浮
后来又有了她的音乐 。 但她的风格拘谨而低调, 使白人摇滚音乐
界感觉除了单调就是乏味 。 这种风格极好地适应了富足时尚的 80年
代, 但在喧闹和电子摇滚乐流行的 90年代里, 它显然是过时了 。
萨黛并不因为她现在那些反复无常的英国歌迷而感到担忧, 其原因
有两个 。 首先, 她在全世界仍享有盛名, 她的专辑在世界范围内已
销售了三千两百五十多万张, 而在美国, 她的销量能与麦当娜和迈
克尔 ?杰可逊抗衡 。
其次, 她是一个非常内向的人, 她并不喜欢自己 80年代的名声大
噪, 而满足于现在相对的默默无闻 。 从她伦敦北部的家中, 她能随
意地进出 。 她说：, 这里的人们现在对我并不关注, 而我就喜欢这
种随意 。,
萨黛并不清楚为什么她的英国歌迷们不再买她的专辑了 。, 我感
到纳闷, 为什么他们一开始那么喜欢我的歌 。 当我真正喜欢上某些
音乐时, 我是不会像他们那样随意抛弃的 。, 她说：, 英格兰很 不
友
乐坛沉浮
好。不仅对我，对谁都一样。英格兰就像一个脾气怪怪的老姑妈。
尽管她不停地批评你，即便在你最努力的时候也不能公正地对待你，
你还是得时常去看她陪她，你还是得以某种方式始终爱着她。”

Music has been called the most abstract of the arts,
Unlike words,pictures,and bodily movements,musical
tones in themselves have no concrete references,To
understand and enjoy a musical performance,one must
be familiar with its choice of sounds,and its organizing
principles,Although some musical works are difficult to
understand,music has become a necessity of life,
People are keen on music because it brings fun to them,
Different people like different music,some are fond of
classical music,and others take pleasure in pop music,
Nevertheless,most people love light music,

In the money-dominated and stylish 80s,everyone loved the cool
and sophisticated soul singer Sade but in the 90s the British publics
seem to have fallen out of love with her,
In 1984,Sade leapt to fame with the release of her debut
single Your Love Is King,which went straight into the British
To Ten charts,and her debut album Diamond Life,which
stayed in the UK charts for 98 weeks and was the biggest
selling debut album by a British female singer,Her music was
played everywhere,her face appeared on countless magazine
covers,and she was hounded by the media,
But just over a decade later,the picture has changed
dramatically,and Sade’s Diamond Life,in Britain at least,is
over,Her fourth album Love Deluxe,released in 1992,sold
only a fraction of her first tow albums Diamond Life and
Promise (1985),and was criticized by some as being too much
like her previous albums,
All That’s Happening in the Music
World
Only one song,No Ordinary Love,got into the Top 20
charts (number14); towards the end of last year,The Best of
Sade was released,whose sales,again,are far less than those
of her first two albums,
So,why have Sade’s UK fans deserted her? Between her
third album Stronger Than Pride (1988) and Love Deluxe,there
was a gap of four years,British music fans have very short
memories,and four years without releasing even a single is not
the best way to keep yourself popular and in the charts,
Then there is her music,Her style is restrained and
understated,something that the UK white rock establishment
has always found difficult to distinguish from blandness,It
suited perfectly the affluent and stylish 80s but is now clearly
out of fashion in the hard,rap-dominated 90s,
All That’s Happening in the Music
World
Sade doesn’t seem too worried by her now fickle British
supporters and for two good reasons,Firstly,she is still hugely
popular throughout the world,She has sold over 32.5 million
albums world-wide,and in the United States,her album sales
rival those of Madonna and Michael Jackson,
Secondly,she is a very private person,She disliked the
intense publicity of the 80s,and now enjoys her relative
obscurity,From hr north London house,she can come and go
as she pleases.,People here are indifferent to me now and I
enjoy that indifference,” she says,
Sade herself is not clear as to why her UK fans stopped
buying her albums.,It makes me wonder why they ever liked us
in the first place,When I really like some music,I don’t just get
tired of it like that,” she says,” It can be very hostile,England,

乐坛沉浮
1984年，萨黛凭借她首次推出的一曲“你的爱情之王”一举成
名，这首歌曲也直接冲进了英国每周金曲榜的前十名，她的处女大
碟“钻石人生”，居英国每周金曲榜达 98周之久，成为英国历史上
最畅销的女歌手专辑。那时，她的乐曲到处在播放，她的面孔登上
了无数杂志的封面，她成了媒体追逐的对象。
但仅仅十年之后，情况发生了戏剧性的变化，萨黛的“钻石人
生”至少在英国结束了。她的第四张专辑“奢侈的爱”，发行于
1992年，只卖得前两张专辑“钻石人生”和“承诺”（ 1985年）销
量的一小部分，并因与前两张的风格太相近而遭到一些人的批评。
只有一首歌“不要平凡的爱”进入金曲榜前 20名（第 14）；到去年
底，“最棒的萨黛”发行了，但其销售量远不如她最早的两张。
那么，萨黛的英国歌迷们为什么冷落她呢？在她的第三张专辑
“强于自豪”（ 1988年）和“奢侈的爱”之间，有长达四年的间隔。
英国的歌迷们记忆力并不好，四年不出一首新歌可不是保持知名度
和稳局金曲榜的好方法。
乐坛沉浮
后来又有了她的音乐 。 但她的风格拘谨而低调, 使白人摇滚音乐
界感觉除了单调就是乏味 。 这种风格极好地适应了富足时尚的 80年
代, 但在喧闹和电子摇滚乐流行的 90年代里, 它显然是过时了 。
萨黛并不因为她现在那些反复无常的英国歌迷而感到担忧, 其原因
有两个 。 首先, 她在全世界仍享有盛名, 她的专辑在世界范围内已
销售了三千两百五十多万张, 而在美国, 她的销量能与麦当娜和迈
克尔 ?杰可逊抗衡 。
其次, 她是一个非常内向的人, 她并不喜欢自己 80年代的名声大
噪, 而满足于现在相对的默默无闻 。 从她伦敦北部的家中, 她能随
意地进出 。 她说：, 这里的人们现在对我并不关注, 而我就喜欢这
种随意 。,
萨黛并不清楚为什么她的英国歌迷们不再买她的专辑了 。, 我感
到纳闷, 为什么他们一开始那么喜欢我的歌 。 当我真正喜欢上某些
音乐时, 我是不会像他们那样随意抛弃的 。, 她说：, 英格兰很 不
友
乐坛沉浮
好。不仅对我，对谁都一样。英格兰就像一个脾气怪怪的老姑妈。
尽管她不停地批评你，即便在你最努力的时候也不能公正地对待你，
你还是得时常去看她陪她，你还是得以某种方式始终爱着她。”
