What was it like
I recall watching the Spring Festival Gala one year. It was fantastic. I was greatly impressed by the performance of a popular Chinese folk singer and a famous foreign singer when they sang “Jasmine Flower”. It is a traditional song that is well known and has been performed by many artists. It was special to watch these two famous singers sing it together. They looked beautiful and the foreign singer seemed very relaxed while singing in Chinese. It has become a landmark gala performance.

（动名词作love.keep的宾语）
It turns out that country music became popular right here in the south of America in the 1940s and then spread across the nation. It grew out of such music types as the blues and folk music, so the musicians use many similar instruments, such as the guitar.
原来是...
源于
原来，20世纪40年代乡村音乐正是在美国南部这里流行起来的。随后传遍整个美国。它源于诸如布鲁斯和民谣这样的音乐，所以音乐家们使用很多类似的乐器，比如吉他。
turn out 原来是；证明是；结果是
①It turns out that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
事实证明这只是冰山一角。
②The job turned out to be harder than we thought.
The tunes are easy to sing, and the lyrics often leave you deep in thought. Most of the songs are about hardship and heartbreak, but also about hope－with plenty of humour thrown in for good measure. You can feel an emotional connection between you and the musicians.
乡村音乐的调子朗朗上口，歌词常常发人深省。大部分歌曲唱的是艰难与心碎，但也有希望---其中还附加了很多幽默元素，你可以感受到自己与音乐家之间的那种情感的联系。

Country music shows the peaceful green fields and simple life of the countryside. Obviously I don’t know what it’s truly like to grow up in rural America, but the masters of country music, like John Denver, can make you feel like you’re there. The simple tunes and beautiful natural images are often very suggestive of countryside surroundings:
乡村音乐展现的是乡村静谧的绿野和质朴的生活。我显然不知道在美国乡村长大究竟是什么样子，但是乡村音乐的大师们，比如约翰 ·丹佛，能让你觉得身临其境，简单的曲调和唯美的大自然很容易使人联想到乡村的环境。
