“简单计划”的音乐态度 　　听力小提示：本文为访谈原声，有很多像“you know”和“like”这类口头插入语以及口语表达，虽然语速较快，但文章难度很低，语言诙谐幽默，可作为泛听材料使用。 　　 　　Question: Why did it take so much time to have a new Simple Plan record? 　　Chuck Comeau (Drummer): ’Cause we’re trying to make it the best we can.

Every time you make a new record you…you have all these hopes and dreams, and you have all the expectation, and you have all these kind of ideas you have and you want to accomplish[实现], and, you know, who knows if they’ll happen or not, but that’s what’s exciting a
