1. That was The Great Escape movie made by MGM but there was not a happy ending.
“made by MGM”是修饰“The Great Escape movie”的后置定语，省略了that/which was。
2. There are relatives here from around the world. This is probably the last big commemoration to which veterans will be able to travel.
“介词+which”引导的定语从句，可还原为“veterans will be able to travel to the last big commemoration”。
3. Yes， it's not the best weather for this act of commemoration considering we have elderly veterans in their 90s here.
“considering we have elderly……”做伴随状语表原因，其中“we have elderly veterans in their 90s here”做“considering”下的宾语从句。
24：歌颂曼德拉的歌剧在南非大剧院开演Opera in honor of Mandela was shown in South Africa theatre
26/05/2014
Madiba The African Opera will debut at the State Theater in South Africa today. It's a dramatic musical retelling of the early life and times of Nelson Mandela. Little is known about his early childhood and the opera is going to focus on his later years. It's all been created by Mandela's great nephew.
It was just a matter of time. We've had Mandela on screen at the time of his death just five months ago. And now here， at the State Theater in Pretoria， final rehearsals are taking place for Madiba The African Opera.
It was Nelson Mandela's great ne-phew who believed a story needed to be told about the great statesman. This has been done through a host of books， autobiographies and forms. But Madiba The African Opera presents the life of a man through song， orchestra， drums into the storytelling of how Mandela ran away to Johannesburg because of an arranged marriage， how he became a lawyer， his courtship with Winnie Mandela and his prison years.
I'm the conductor， and the musical director and also the orchestrator of the opera. It's really good for us to do it now， to also remind people who people soon forget. We've just had an election. So people forget. Just remind them of the nation builder this man was， that we have him and others of course， but he was really the protagonist and he is the one that the story can be told through and that's what the beauty of the opera is. It tells us the story of many South Africans through one man. So we feel that we've been blessed with this opportunity.
He's been described as the man of moral inspiration and respect.
Yeah， it's quite overwhelming to sing really highly emotional type of songs and you know the message that it always has to send through is always teary. It's always devastating. And it's difficult to， you know， to execute this kind of a role because there is nothing that is documented.
If he was alive today and he was watching the opera， what do you think he would make of it？
I think he would be very teary. He was really a very soft person， you know. He really had a really soft side of him.
译文：
《非洲歌剧马迪巴》将于今天在南非大剧院首演。它以音乐的形式生动讲述了曼德拉的生平和他所处的时代。由于对曼德拉童年时期了解甚少，这部歌剧主要聚焦他之后的生平。歌剧的制片人是曼德拉的大侄子。
这是时间早晚的问题。5个月前曼德拉去世时就有相关电影上映。而现在，《非洲歌剧马迪巴》的最后几次彩排正在比勒陀利亚国家剧院举行。
曼德拉的大侄子认为，有必要将这位伟大政治家的故事传承下去。之前已有各种书籍、自传以及其他形式展示曼德拉的一生。而《非洲歌剧马迪巴》通过歌曲、管弦乐队和鼓，讲述曼德拉不满包办婚姻逃到约翰内斯堡，成为一名律师，追求温妮·曼德拉以及后来的狱中生活。
我是这部歌剧的指挥、音乐总监兼弦乐编曲。对我们来说，现在做这件事让大家铭记曼德拉是非常合时宜的。因为我们国家刚刚举行过大选，人们很容易淡忘曼德拉。这部歌剧目的就是为了让大家记得这位建国伟人。当然我们还有其他优秀的国家领导人，但他是真正的领袖。这部歌剧的优点在于通过他的人生经历讲述许多南非人的经历。所以说，能有这样的机会，我们感到很荣幸。
大家都把他描述为值得尊敬的人格导师。
是的，演唱情绪如此饱满的歌曲很令人激动，因为它所要传递的总是悲伤的信息。因为没有文献记载，所以很难演好这个角色。
如果他还健在，观看了这部歌剧，你觉得他会有何反应？
我觉得他会哭。他是一个内心柔软的人，有脆弱的一面。

25：爵士大师托尼·班奈特评论现代音乐很糟糕Singer Tony Bennett：'Modern music is terrible'
20/03/2014
'It's a wonderful occupation for me. I've never worked a day in my life.'We'll speak to Tony Bennett.
Now music may be supposed to live the soul. But one of the world's most famous musicians has just given the BBC a rather dispiriting message. Tony Bennett， best known for his songs such as I Left My Heart In San Francisco， has told the BBC that most songs written today are terrible. He had his first No.1 single black in 1951 and it sold more than 15 million records since. At the age of 87 he still performs live around the world and releases a new album this week. It's called The Classics and spans a 60-year career in show business.
