Hundreds of things belonging to rock ‘n' roll musicians will be offered to the public at an auction later this month.

搖滾明星們的上百件物品將于本月末拍賣(mài)。

Julien’s Auctions is holding the event on May 21 at Hard Rock Café in New York City. The company is based in California and specializes in selling objects from or related to the entertainment industry.

朱利安私人物品拍賣(mài)會(huì)將于5月21日在紐約硬石餐廳舉行。該拍賣(mài)會(huì)由來(lái)自加利福尼亞的一家專(zhuān)業(yè)從事娛樂(lè)圈物品拍賣(mài)的公司舉辦。

Music lovers might be interested in a document containing song lyrics hand written by John Lennon.

歌迷們也許會(huì)對(duì)約翰·列儂(John Lennon)親手寫(xiě)的歌詞文件感興趣。

Also available for sale is a note from Kurt Cobain, former front man of the rock group Nirvana. In it, he discussed the possibility of the band breaking up.

涅盤(pán)樂(lè)隊(duì)(Nirvana)靈魂人物科特·柯本(Kurt Cobain)的手跡也會(huì)亮相拍賣(mài)會(huì)。在該手跡中，他探討了樂(lè)隊(duì)解散的可能性。

Cobain expressed anger about a magazine report about him and his wife, rocker Courtney Love. The 1992 Vanity Fair story said that the two were using drugs during Love’s pregnancy.

柯本表達(dá)了他對(duì)一篇關(guān)于他和妻子科特妮·洛芙(Courtney Love)的雜志報(bào)道的憤怒。1992年《名利場(chǎng)》雜志爆料兩人在洛芙懷孕期間吸毒。

"I love my wife and soon to be new daughter too much to let everyones low opinions of us ruin our lives together," he wrote.

他寫(xiě)到：“我非常愛(ài)我的妻子和即將出生的女兒，以至于我不能讓任何人的不好言論毀掉我們的生活。”

Cobain killed himself in 1994 and Nirvana broke up. Many people still mourn the musician more than 20 years later. His letter is expected to sell for between $20,000 and $30,000.

柯本1994年自殺，涅槃樂(lè)隊(duì)也解散。20多年過(guò)去了，仍有許多人悼念他的離去。他的信預(yù)計(jì)以2萬(wàn)至3萬(wàn)美元出售。

There will be many other objects related to rock stars available at the auction. These include clothes, guitars and mail to and from their fans.

還有許多搖滾明星的物品將參與此次拍賣(mài)，包括衣服，吉他和于粉絲之間來(lái)往的信件。

Lennon's handwritten lyrics and notes are for the song "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" It was part of the Beatles' 1967 record album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Some observers expected the Lennon writings to sell for between $300,000 and $500,000.

參與拍賣(mài)的還有列儂手書(shū)《Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!》的歌詞和筆記。這首歌收錄于披頭士1967年專(zhuān)輯《Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band》中。有人預(yù)計(jì)該手書(shū)歌詞將會(huì)賣(mài)到30萬(wàn)到50萬(wàn)美元。

Martin Nolan of Julien’s Auction said anything written by Lennon is highly sought by collectors.

朱利安拍賣(mài)公司主管馬丁·諾蘭表示收藏家們正在努力尋找任何列儂的手跡。

Lady Gaga's first piano is also expected to sell for a huge amount. Part of the money is to go to the singer's Born This Way Foundation.

Lady Gaga的第一臺(tái)鋼琴預(yù)計(jì)也會(huì)以巨額出售。所得資金將部分用于天生完美基金會(huì)。

Julien’s Auctions also expects to make a nice profit on a red and white "Rock Soldier" jacket. Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, wore it during the band's 1986 tour.

朱利安拍賣(mài)公司預(yù)計(jì)將在一件紅白星際戰(zhàn)士夾克中獲取高額利潤(rùn)?；屎髽?lè)隊(duì)的主唱弗雷迪·默丘里在樂(lè)隊(duì)1986年巡回演唱會(huì)時(shí)在該夾克上簽名。

Nolan called the jacket "a great conversation piece." He added that, "Investors see these items as cool, but also really great opportunities to increase your investment because over time, chances are they will appreciate in value," he said.

諾蘭稱(chēng)該夾克為“一件易引起話題的東西”。他還說(shuō)：“投資者認(rèn)為這些東西很酷，也是增加投資的很好的機(jī)會(huì)，因?yàn)橛锌赡苓^(guò)段時(shí)間它們會(huì)升值。”
