BACKSTREETBOYS 的英语介绍资料

A quintet of hunkalicious singing vocalists, the Backstreet Boys is, probobaly the most popluar vocal group outside the United States. If we are the fans for western pop songs and are interested in B-Boys, let's take a look at their growing path from the very beginning.

The B-Boys gelled in 1993, in Orlando, where high school students A.J. McLean and Howie Dorough, and junior high student Nick Carter frequently ran into each other[1] at acting auditions. They began hanging out[2], started singing, and eventually Kevin Richardson and his Kentucky cousin, Brian Littrell joined in. Though their eponymous debut album[3] has by now sold more than 10 million copies in the U.S. The quintet's 1995 single, "We've Got It Goin' On" fizzled after climbing to No. 69 on Billboard's Hot 100.

But of course, it's always lonely at the top, and none of the five currently has a serious girlfriend. Here are the favorites of the Boys: When Nick goes shopping, relates one, he loves to buy sneakers and gold jewelry; Brian's favorite food is macaroni and cheese, and his favorite cologne is Safari by Ralph Lauren; A.J. likes girls with nice eyes and long hair; Howie is most likely to "invite you for a moonlight walk along the beach"; and Kevin "spent eight years of his life living in a log cabin, and he's also a qualified ballroom-dancer[4] instructor!"

In 1999, Millennium's first week out of the gate[5], the disc amassed 1,133,505 in sales, making it the most albums sold in a week - ever - since SoundScan began recording sales figures, handily trouncing the record set by Garth Brooks the previous December.

注释：

[1]ran into each other：run into sb.是个固定搭配，意思为偶然碰上某人。这里的意思是他们三个人经常在学校的试演中碰面。

[2]hanging out：原形为hang out，意思是经常在一起。如：Marry always hangs out with her best friend Jay. 玛丽经常跟她的好朋友Jay在一起。

[3]debut album：意思为首张专辑。

[4]ballroom-dancer：ballroom-dance是国标舞，那么把dance变成dancer就是跳国标舞的人了。

[5]out of the gate：字面上的意思是大门外，可跟文中的句子连起来就变的很可笑了。所以联系上下文就知道应该是刚刚发行。
