模仿

您能夠模仿任何聲音嗎？您能夠模擬父母或朋友說話的樣子嗎？漫畫式模仿是娛樂的常見型式，而且是許多喜劇演員的喜劇材料來源。在電台、電視或電影還未普及的年代，很流行模仿動物或機械的聲音。約翰‧歐倫 (John Orren) 是一個著名的模仿表演著，與茱兒 (Lillian Drew) 搭擋並在巡迴綜藝歌舞秀內演出。聆聽以下他們兩人的錄音剪輯，看看您能辨識出幾種聲音；聽聽看他們幾可亂真的表演。

Can you imitate any sounds? Can you mimic the way a parent or a friend talks? Impressions were a common form of entertainment and a great source of comic material for many comedians. When people didn't have radio, TV, or movies, it was popular to imitate animals or machines. John Orren was a well-known mimic on the vaudeville circuit who worked with his partner, Lillian Drew. Listen to this audio clip of the two of them and see what kinds of sounds you can pick out. Do any of the imitations fool you?
