乌兰巴托的爸爸 　　这首歌出自歌手布仁巴雅尔的女儿、英格玛的表姐诺尔曼之手。虽然它也是一首曲调简单的歌，但它却是一首不同寻常的歌，是一首有故事的歌。2000 年，布仁巴雅尔因公派至蒙古国学习一年，八岁的诺尔曼在家非常想念远在乌兰巴托的爸爸，便写下了他们父女俩之间的这首感人肺腑的歌。 Scottish Pipe Band ? J: Hello, Im Jody! ? Y: 大家好, 我是杨晨! ? J: And welcome to American Cafe. ? Y: 欢迎您到美语咖啡屋. ? (Enter pipe band music) ? Y: Jody, 今天的这个音乐, 我怎么觉得这么熟悉啊？ ? J: Today I thought we would introduce Margaret Peng, the Chinese-American woman we met who does something quite uncommon. Shes a drummer in a Scottish pipe band. Yang Chen, how cool is that!? ?

Its like she was dancing! Really beautiful. She explained to me that the mallets are actually the sticks you use to bang the drum. ? Y: 对，“mallet”就是敲鼓用的鼓槌，或者小音槌。当时如果你能看到Margaret Peng挥舞小音槌的姿势，你会觉得她非常优美，简直就象跳舞一样。 ? J: The music of the Scottish pipe band is so bizarre, isnt it? ? Y: Bizarre? ? J: You know, 奇怪。 ? Y: 我想在这里可能说它奇特更合适吧。 ?
