课文原文
As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake-charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. When the snake-charmer suddenly began to play jazz tunes and modern pop songs, we were very surprised. However, the snake continued to “dance” slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!

八、词汇拓展阅读
8.1 关于 snake-charmer 的文化背景
Snake charming(耍蛇)是一种古老的街头表演艺术,主要流行于印度、巴基斯坦和北非地区。表演者通常使用一种叫做”pungi”(印度竹笛)的乐器演奏音乐,蛇会随之摆动身体,看起来像是在”跳舞”。
科学解释:蛇实际上听不到音乐(它们没有外耳),它们是在跟随演奏者手中的乐器(pipe)的移动而移动,这是一种防御性的视觉跟随反应。
