Lesson 86 Do you like classical music or pop music?

有人说古典音乐比流行音乐的结构和形式都多，但实际上流行音乐的形式也相当之多。还有人说古典音乐是艺术，而流行音乐只是娱乐。也许这种说法部分是对的，但流行音乐也蕴含着丰富的艺术成份。古典音乐的听众相对较少，而流行音乐更具有普遍的吸引力。
Some say that classical music has more structure and form than pop music, but there are plenty of different genres in pop music, too. Others say that classical music is an art and that pop music is entertainment. But pop music is rich in artistic composition, too. Classical music has an elite audience, while pop music has more universal appeal.
