Limp Bizkit

LimpNot every band sells 1.5 million copies of their debut record. But Limp Bizkit rose out of their hometown of Jacksonville, FL. Through ceaseless touring and a dynamic live show, the little group with the curious name found themselves in heady company indeed.

The band's second album for Flip/Interscope Records shatters the sophomore jinx[1]. This is the band that also threw a traveling party of their own called "Ladies Night in Cambodia" for two solid months. They had a massive hit on their hands with their inimitable[2] cover of George Michael's "Faith," and they watched sales of their album fly past Platinum certification.

For the band - including guitarist Wes Borland, drummer John Otto, bassist Sam Rivers, and turntable-man DJ Lethal -- Significant Other is the album that will dispel the doubters[3] and silence the skeptical. It's a collection of songs that Limp Bizkit say that they learned to write from playing to audiences around the world, watching their fans in action. "It's a record about betrayal," Fred says. Ever since they formed in late 1994, Limp Bizkit has blazed a trail for themselves like few other bands of the 1990s.

 

    

 

注释：

 

1.jinx：
不祥的人(或物)。例：put a jinx on... 使…倒霉 [触霉头]。

2.inimitable：
imitae是模仿的意思。加in-后变成否定，即不可模仿的意思。

3.doubters：
doubt本身是怀疑的意思，加-er以后变成名词怀疑者、怀疑的人。如同teach加-er后变成老师teacher。

 
 
 

 

　　不是每个乐队的首张专辑都能售出一百五十万的好成绩。Limp Bizkit从他们的家乡-佛罗里达州的杰克逊维崛起。通过不停的巡回演出和生动的现场演出，这个名不经传且名字奇特的小组合发现自己已经置身于知名的剧团之中。

　　他们在Flip/Interscop唱片公司的第二张专辑破解了霉运。并花了俩个月的时间举办了一个叫做“柬埔寨女士之夜”的聚会。他们为George Micheal做的不可效仿的Faith封面也获得了巨大的成功，专辑也达到了白金销售证明。

　　乐队的（包括吉他手Wes Borland，鼓手John Otto，低音乐器演奏者Sam Rivers和全能DJ Lethal）专辑Significant Other驱除了人们的怀疑。此专辑所汇集的歌曲是Limp Bizkit在为全世界的观众演奏并观察歌迷的反应而作的。“这是一个有关背叛的唱片，”Fred说。自从1994年组队以来，Limp Bizkit如同90年代少数其他乐队一样给人留下了深刻的印象。
