永远的流行音乐(Music that's always on top)
We all like pop music but what is it? The definition of pop music is flexible. Music that is considered to be pop is constantly changing.
我们都喜欢流行音乐，但什么才是流行音乐呢?流行音乐的定义非常灵活。因为只要是流行的音乐通常都是不断变化着的。
the saying that “one man’s meat is another man’s poison,” is nowhere more applicable than in the world of pop. Perhaps the easiest way to identify pop music is that it always satisfies more people than it poisons.
俗话说，“萝卜青菜，各有所爱”，这句话最适用于流行界。或许，对流行音乐最简单的界定就是，比起受它毒害的人，从中得到满足的人更多。
Music for the masses since the mid-1950s, pop music has been identified as the style of music accessible to the widest audience. This means the music that sells the most copies, draws the largest concert audiences and is played most often on the radio.
自从20世界50年代中期以来，流行音乐就被定义为拥有最广泛大众的音乐类型。由此，这种音乐唱片卖的最多，音乐会上人数最多，在收音机中也最常播放。 Pop music has been and continues to be a melting pot that borrows and assimilates elements and ideas from a wide range of other musical styles. Rock, R&B, country, disco, punk, and hip hop are all specific genres of music that have influenced and been incorporated into pop music over the past 50 years.
流行音乐曾经而且将来也会一直像一座熔炉一般，从各种音乐类型中借鉴并吸收其中的音乐元素和观念。在过去50年中，摇滚、节奏蓝调、乡村音乐、迪斯科、朋克和嘻哈音乐等各种音乐流派都曾对流行音乐产生过影响，最终在流行音乐中被贯穿融合起来。
Music videos and big live shows are often used to get pop stars more exposure in the media. Artists may have stage shows and well-rehearsed dance routines to go along with their music. Many pop tunes are used in dance clubs and sports clubs.
流行歌星通常通过音乐录像和大型现场表演在媒体中曝光。艺术家可能会举办舞台剧，根据音乐精心编排舞蹈动作。舞厅和健身房中也播放很多流行乐曲。 Pop music’s accessibility and wide appeal means the genre is highly-prized among record companies, radio stations and music television channels. This is thanks to pop’s ability to sell lots of records and get high ratings.
流行音乐的大众接受度和巨大的吸引力使它成为唱片公司、电台和电视音乐频道的佳宠。这要归功于它的流行力，能热卖唱片，有高收视率和高收听率。
