LAST TRAIN TO HILVERSUM: A JOURNEY IN SEARCH OF THE MAGIC OF RADIO
Book ID/图书代码： 02000019C00015
English Summary/英文概要： Despite the all-pervading influence of television ninety per cent of people in Britain still listen to the radio, clocking up over a billion hours of listening between us every week. It’s a background to all our lives: we wake up to our clock radios, we have the radio on in the kitchen as we make the tea, it’s on at our workplaces and in our cars. From Listen With Mother to the illicit thrill of tuning into pirate stations like Radio Caroline; from receiving a musical education from John Peel or having our imagination unlocked by Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; from school-free summers played out against a soundtrack of Radio One and Test Match Special to more grown-up soundtracks of the Today programme on Radio 4 and the solemn, rhythmic intonation of the shipping forecast - in many ways, our lives can be measured in kilohertz.
Yet radio is changing because the way we listen to the radio is changing. Last year the number of digital listeners at home exceeded the number of analogue listeners for the first time, meaning the pop and crackle and the age of stumbling upon something by chance is coming to an end. There will soon be no dial to turn, no in-between spaces on the waveband for washes of static, mysterious beeps and faint, distant voices. The mystery will be gone: we’ll always know exactly what it is we’re listening to, whether it’s via scrolling LCD on our digital radios, the box at the bottom of our TV screen or because we’ve gone in search of a particular streaming station.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 尽管电视的影响无处不在，90%的英国人仍然收听广播，每周人们收听的时间加在一起超过10亿小时。它是我们所有人生活的背景:我们在闹钟旁醒来，我们在厨房里沏茶时开着收音机，它在我们的工作场所和汽车里都开着。从和妈妈一起听，到收听像卡洛琳电台这样的盗版电台带来的非法刺激;从接受约翰•皮尔的音乐教育，到道格拉斯•亚当斯的《银河系漫游指南》开启我们的想象力;从不用上学的夏天，伴着第一电台和测试比赛特别节目的音乐响起，到第四电台《今日》节目中更为成熟的配乐，再到船舶预报庄重而有节奏的语调——在很多方面，我们的生活可以用千赫兹来衡量。
然而，收音机正在改变，因为我们听收音机的方式正在改变。去年，家里的数字听众数量首次超过了模拟听众的数量，这意味着流行音乐和爆裂声以及偶然发现东西的时代即将结束。很快，就没有拨号盘可以转动了，波段上也没有中间的空间可以用来冲洗静态的、神秘的哔哔声和微弱的、遥远的声音。谜团将会消失:我们将永远知道我们正在听的到底是什么，无论是通过我们的数字收音机上的滚动LCD，电视屏幕底部的盒子，还是因为我们在寻找一个特定的流媒体电台。（WYL）
