A busker is someone who performs music or an act on the street. The most common kind of busker plays a guitar. Passers-by will drop money into his/her guitar case. However, players of other instruments, from the classical violin to the handsaw, are also buskers. In fact, any kind of street performance can be regarded as a form of busking. This includes fire breathers, jugglers, story tellers, mime artists and dancers . 街头艺人是指在大街上演奏音乐或表演节目的人.最常见的街头艺人是吉他演奏者。路人会将钱丢人他/她的吉他盒中。不过，演奏其他乐器的人也算街头艺人，他们演奏的乐器囊括了从古典小提琴到锯琴的各种乐器。事实上，任何类别的街头表演都可以被当作一种街头艺术形式。这就涵盖了玩喷火把戏者、变戏法者、说书人、哑剧艺术者和舞者等各类人群。 Busking and the city 街头表演与城市 In some cities busking requires a permit while in others it is tolerated as long as it doesnt interfere with noise and traffic regulations. 在某些城市,，街头表演需要得到许可，而在另一些城市中，只要它不违反噪音条例和交通法规就没有问题。 In Europe, city authorities generally welcome buskers. It is believed that in busy city -centre areas street performers create a festive and lively atmosphere that helps to attract more visitors and shoppers. As passers-by stop to enjoy street performances, they are more likely to take notice of the nearby shops and businesses, and to make more purchases. |
