　　George: What did she play?
　　Alastair: Beethoven and Brahms mainly.
　　George: Was her playing well received?
　　lastair: I'll say, she had to give four encores before the audience let her go.
　　阿拉斯泰：我昨晚去听钢琴独奏。
　　乔治：是吗？演奏的是谁？
　　阿拉斯泰：是个刚出道的年轻钢琴家，来自捷克共和国，叫伊琳娜．杜布切克。
　　乔治：她弹什么歌曲？
　　阿拉斯泰：主要是贝多芬和布拉姆斯的歌曲。
　　乔治：听众的反应还好吗？
　　阿拉斯泰：好得很。她要‘安可’四次，听众才放她离去。
　　在英语国家，观众见表演出色，会大叫encore，要求重演，例如：The theatre rang with the audience's cries of "Encore"（观众高呼‘安可’的声音，响彻戏院）。
　　表演者获得‘安可’要求，叫做to get an encore；再演，则叫to give/do an encore，此外，演奏的可以play an encore，演唱的可以sing an encore，例如：Irina got and played four encores at the end of the recital（演奏会结束时伊琳娜四度应听众要求重奏）。
　　假如要说应观众‘安可’的呼声，重演某一段戏、某一首歌曲，英文常用for/as an encore为言，例如：He sang "The Color of the Night" as/for an encore（他应听众要求再唱一曲，唱的是《夜色》）。作动词，encore是‘要求或应要求再演’，其后必须接名词，例如：The audience four times encored the pianist（听众四次要求那钢琴家重演）。观众要求重演，除了喊encore，还可以不断鼓掌。We clapped heartily until Irina returned for an encore即‘我们热烈鼓掌，直到伊琳娜回到舞台重演一场’。假如观众一同起立鼓掌，那叫做standing ovation：ovation即‘喝彩’，一般指鼓掌，例如：His performance was so impressive that the audience gave him an enthusiastic (standing) ovation（他演出精采，观众都（站起来）热烈鼓掌）。舞台之外也常见standing ovation，例如：President Reagan received a standing ovation from all the Congressmen after delivering his speech（里根总统演讲之后，国会议员一致起立鼓掌）。
