Whenever I watch basketball, I come away disappointed that the players’ shoe squeaks didn’t jumpstart(启动，激发) a choreographed(编排好的（舞蹈）) dance number, just like in High School Musical. Whether it was a lunch break turning into a confession of closeted passions or a pep rally evolving into a flashmob, the 2006 Disney Channel movie proved that teen drama can always be solved through song.(无论是午休变成对隐秘情感的坦白，还是赛前动员会演变成快闪，这部2006年的迪士尼频道电影都证明：青少年的烦恼总能靠歌声解决。)
每次看篮球赛，我都会失望地发现球员的球鞋吱吱声并没有触发一段编排好的舞蹈，就像《歌舞青春》里那样。无论是午休变成对隐秘情感的坦白，还是赛前动员会演变成快闪，这部2006年的迪士尼频道电影都证明：青少年的烦恼总能靠歌声解决。
Quality entertainment? Meh. The corniest(最老套的) of lines? Oh, for sure. But the cheesiness(俗气，做作) was the point. Its 98 minutes became a deliciously enduring slice of pop culture(一段美妙而持久的流行文化切片) not despite the cringe, but because(不是因为避免了尴尬，而是因为) the film embraced it so wholeheartedly(全心全意地).
高质量娱乐？也就那样。最老套的台词？哦，当然有。但俗气正是重点。它的98分钟成为流行文化中一段美妙而持久的切片，不是因为避免了尴尬，而是因为影片全心全意地拥抱了尴尬。
Now, 20 years later, Troy Bolton’s dribbles(运球) and Sharpay Evans’s sparkles(闪片，闪耀) have sashayed(摇曳生姿地走) their way into the London spotlight as a new stage adaptation opens at the Troubadour Wembley Park theatre this week, complete with throwback stars(怀旧明星) such as McFly(英国流行摇滚乐队)’s Harry Judd and the original film’s “pop-and-lock girl(机械舞女孩)” Kaycee Stroh.
