【现场还是录制的音乐】
现场的音乐：interact with, rage, passion;
听演唱会可以跟演唱者互动，尤其是摇滚音乐，你可以感受到观众的演唱者的各种情绪比如：愤怒和激情; 表演者可以更好的展现自己的情感， 在表演的时候也会更加即兴。
When watching a live concert, you get to interact with the singer, and you are actually participating.

I am wimp about germs, and every time I think about how many people have touched or held the books in the library, I decide not to borrow books from the library. Plus, as a working professional, I don't want to waste my energy remembering the deadline of the book, having to return it on time.
