台湾男版苏珊大妈一唱惊人

In case you haven't already seen it, this video of a man singing 'I Will Always Love You' on the Taiwanese talent show 'Super Star Avenue' is outstanding for a few reasons.

我们为还没看过的读者解释一下，这位男士在台湾选秀节目“超级星光大道”上高歌“我永远爱你”(I Will Always Love You)的视频吸引众多眼球有以下几个原因。

First, Lin Yu Chun gives Whitney Houston an insane run for her money; he is the Taiwanese Susan Boyle without the cat.

首先，林育群的唱功与惠特妮•休斯顿(Whitney Houston)难分轩轾；他堪称台湾版“苏珊大妈”(Susan Boyle)，只不过不像后者那样与猫相依为命。

Second, like Boyle, his style is somewhat…retro. We love that bowl cut.

第二，跟苏珊大妈一样，他的风格也有点儿……老派。我们爱死他那个西瓜头发型了。


Finally, and most disconcertingly for Western viewers, there's no applause at a single point during the song - not even when Lin hits notes only a Medieval-era castrato should reach. On American talent shows, lights flash, confetti is thrown and the audience erupts at the first marginally well-sung note.
最后，也是最令西方观众惊异人一点是，他演唱的整个过程中没有一次掌声──就连他唱出只有中世纪阉唱者才能唱出的高音时都没有掌声。而在美国选秀节目中，只要选手稍微唱得像样点儿，就会获得灯光狂闪、彩纸如雨、观众爆出欢呼的待遇。
