Music festivals are a big part of British youth culture. Glastonbury Festival is the biggest and most widely known of these festivals, and all the most popular music artists will play here.
音樂節(jié)是英國年輕人文化的重要組成部分。其中，格拉斯頓伯里音樂節(jié)是英國最大也是最受關(guān)注的音樂節(jié)，所有知名的音樂人都會在這個(gè)音樂節(jié)里演出。

The festival takes place in south west England at Worthy Farm.The size and nature of the festival, held over three or four days in the open air, with performers, crew and paying festival goers staying in tents, caravans and motorhomes, has meant that the weather is significant.
格拉斯頓伯里音樂節(jié)一般在英國西南部的沃西農(nóng)場舉行。由于音樂節(jié)為期3-4天而且是露天進(jìn)行，這就意味著表演者和觀眾都必須要么住在帳篷里或者旅行車?yán)锘蛘呗盟捃嚴(yán)铮?dāng)然，天氣的好壞尤為重要。

The festival is held in a huge field. People can sleep in tents, or tipi's which are a special kind of round tent, and some will barely sleep for 3 days so they can listen to all their favourite/ or new bands!
音樂節(jié)在一個(gè)寬廣的場所舉行。人們睡在帳篷或者叫做tipi's的特殊的圓型帷帳里。有些人甚至幾乎三天都不睡覺，這樣他們就可以聽到所有他們喜歡的樂隊(duì)或新樂隊(duì)表演。

The festival is quite funny because often in England it is very rainy, and sometimes thousands of people will wear wellington boots and even dance in the rain!
由于整個(gè)音樂節(jié)非常有趣，但是英國本身又多雨，因此經(jīng)?？梢钥匆娚锨舜┲蒽`頓長靴在雨中跳舞。

There is a real focus at the festival to preserve the land and be enviromentally friendly.Every trader at Glastonbury has to recycle, use biodegradable plates and cutlery and serve fair-trade tea and coffee. In addition they run a special competition every year to celebrate those who go above and beyond this. The prize for being the greenest of the green is a free pitch at the next festival.
在音樂節(jié)中，環(huán)境保護(hù)問題格外受到關(guān)注。商販必須在音樂節(jié)里必須回收物品，必須使用可降解的盤子和餐具，同時(shí)也必須價(jià)格公道的出售茶和咖啡。每年，商販之間會舉行一場特殊的比賽，爭取做到高于環(huán)保標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的服務(wù)。最為環(huán)保的商販擁有下一年音樂節(jié)免費(fèi)入場資格。

It is amazing that tickets for the festival always sell out within an hour or 2 of going on sale each year!
讓人驚訝的是，每年音樂節(jié)的門票都能在1-2個(gè)小時(shí)之內(nèi)被搶購一空。?
