Beatles Still Rule UK
甲壳虫乐队威风不减


Thirty years after their breakup, the Beatles still have the same chart-topping prowess as they did in their prime.

　　Their new collection of No. 1 hits, titled simply 1, went straight to the top in its chart debut and sold more units in its first week than any other U.K. release this year. Though the 27 songs on the album are familiar to many.

breakup： 分裂,结束。
prowess：威力；这张新专辑在甲壳虫解散30年后发行仍然占据了排行榜头名，这支老牌乐队真是威力无穷啊。
debut： 初次登场, 开张。

While the surviving Beatles — Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr — are no longer chased around by hordes of fans, they are reportedly “dead chuffed” that people poured into stores last week to purchase more than 300,000 copies of their album, according to the BBC, which publishes the charts.

horde：一大群，群众；现在的甲壳虫可没有后街男孩、辣妹这么多的歌迷啦。
dead chuffed：（英国俚语）非常的高兴。
