参考译文

你喜欢摇滚乐吗？有些人不喜欢。他们说：“摇滚乐太吵了！”并非所有的摇滚乐都是震耳欲聋的。英国的摇滚乐队“甲壳虫”唱的就是轻柔的歌曲。你可能对他们不太了解。但你的父辈可能一听到他们的名字就很兴奋。

“甲壳虫乐队”出了20世纪60年代最著名的歌手。直到今天还有人认为它是最好的。

这支乐队有4名成员：约翰·列侬、林戈·斯塔尔、保罗·麦卡特尼和乔治·哈里森。1962年，他们以一曲“我想握住你的手”而闻名。他们的歌能帮助人们化悲哀为欢快。现在，许多年龄在40或40岁以上的人依旧能唱《昨日》和《顺其自然》之类的名曲。

“当我发现自己处于困境，圣母玛丽亚总会来到我身旁。用智慧的语言循循善诱，顺其自然。当我处在黑暗中，她就会站在我面前，用智慧的语言循循善诱，顺其自然。”“生活在世上心碎的人儿都同意，答案就是顺其自然。”

乐队于1970年解散。1980年12月8日，主唱约翰·列侬被一位疯狂的歌迷枪杀。整个世界都为这位超级巨星的离去而感到悲哀。许多人参加了他的葬礼，为的是见他最后一面。

列侬死后，“甲壳虫乐队”的专辑卖得更好了。但很少有人唱他们的歌曲，因为他们承受不起这种悲哀。他们知道，尽管歌声依旧，但他们最喜爱的歌星已经永远离去。
