183.* * * Gangnam Style rapper Psy was mobbed by screaming fans as he arrived in London today before heading to Oxford Union to give a speech.
当地时间11月7日,凭一曲《江南Style》风靡世界的韩国歌手Psy 应牛津辩论社的邀请,前往牛津大学发表演讲。鸟叔抵达伦敦时受到疯狂粉丝的热烈欢迎。
The 34-year-old South Korean, whose music video is the second most watched YouTube clip in history, is the first east Asian pop star to address the historic organisation.
现年34岁的鸟叔,其《江南Style》的视频创下了YouTube网站有史以来观看人数第二多的记录。牛津辩论社是牛津大学历史悠久的组织,鸟叔也成为了首位受邀演讲的东亚流行歌手。
The speech will be Psy's first public address in English, and he has picked the perfect venue - an organisation that Harold Macmillan once called 'the last bastion of free speech in the Western world'.
这是鸟叔第一次的英语公开演讲,而鸟叔也为自己的英语首秀选择了最完美的地点:要知道著名的牛津辩论社被曾出任过英国首相的哈罗德·麦克米伦先生誉为是“西方世界言论自由最后的城堡”。
The union, which exists independently from Oxford University and its students' union, has previously welcomed high-profile figures from Jimmy Carter to Michael Jackson to speak to its members.
牛津辩论社是牛津大学的学生自治机构,独立于牛津大学和学生会。此前就曾邀请过曾任美国总统的吉米·卡特、传奇天王迈克尔·杰克逊等著名人物前来,为辩论会成员发表演讲。
Psy, whose full name is Park Jae-sang, travelled from Paris by Eurostar and said he was visiting the UK for three days.
鸟叔真名是朴载相,此次他是从巴黎乘坐豪华火车“欧洲之星”来到英国,此次英国之行将逗留3天。
He stopped briefly to pose for photographers and sign autographs at St Pancras station in a sleeveless leather jacket, cropped trousers and yellow-rimmed sunglasses.
在圣潘克拉斯火车站,鸟叔短暂停留任人们拍照,并为前来的粉丝签名。鸟叔身着一件无袖皮夹克搭配牛仔七分裤,带着缀黄边的太阳眼镜。
He said it was 'really exciting' to be in the UK and 'a great feeling' to be greeted by so many people.
鸟叔表示“非常兴奋” 可以来到英国,受到这么多人的欢迎“感觉很棒”。
The rapper became a worldwide sensation when his humorous single Gangnam Style single shot to number one in the UK in September.
这位说唱歌手的搞笑单曲《江南Style》已经在世界范围内引起轰动,这首单曲九月在英国各大排行榜登顶榜首。
