A-mei Concerts Causing 'Tremors'

Yeah! I love this song! When the music is as good as this I just have to get up and dance, I can't stop myself! 我好愛這首歌，它讓我忍不住跳起舞來！ Some music is so good, it makes you want to jump up and down! But too many people jumping at the same time can be a big problem. It can even cause tremors. Tremors happen when the ground shakes, like an earthquake! 不過，如果太多人同時跳起來，會造成小地震。 This happened last month at an A-mei concert. A-mei sold all the tickets to her show very quickly, her fans really love her! So the Taipei Arena was full of people. 上個月，流行天后阿妹的小巨蛋演唱會門票全部賣完。 They were all having so much fun! They couldn't help it! At the end of her show they all started jumping up and down! 演唱會快結束的時候，大家隨著阿妹的歌開始站起來跳。 But everyone jumping at the same time made the ground shake, and all the people living nearby could feel the tremors in their homes! 大家一起同時跳躍會讓地面震動，附近的居民在家都可以感覺到。 A lot of people were very angry. Maybe they didn't like their houses shaking around, or maybe they just didn't like A-mei's songs! 有一些人對這樣的情形很不開心。 Now there are signs up in the Taipei Arena asking people not to jump up and down anymore… hopefully that will stop the tremors. 現在小巨蛋已經公告，希望大家不要蹦蹦跳。 Do you think the signs would stop you from jumping up and down at a concert? ________________________________ Vocabulary 張惠妹的表演會讓觀眾想隨歌起舞，但是有時候別人受不了。 1. dance 跳舞 Oh, I love this music! 我真喜歡這個音樂！ Come dance with me.來跟我跳舞吧。 No, I can't dance now.
