《欢乐合唱团》（Glee）是一部节奏非常欢快的情节音乐喜剧。故事讲述乐天派的高中教师Will Schuester （Matthew Morrison扮演）接手校园合唱团后，梦想着率队赢得全国大赛。但摆在Will面前的现实是：来参加合唱团的学生五花八门，绝大多数都很不合群，有些更是别人眼里的“怪人”。那么在这样的情况下，欢乐合唱团还能重现昔日辉煌吗？下面让我们开始学习今天的选段。
~三个人关于合唱团的探讨~

W: Well, I need more kids-- performers-- and all the best ones are in the Cheerios, so I figured some of them might want to double up.
S: Okay, so what you're doing right now is called blurring the lines. High school is a caste system. Kids fall into certain slots. Your jocks and your popular kids up in the penthouse. The invisibles and the kids playing live-action : druids & trolls out in the forest: bottom floor.
W: And where do the Glee kids lie?
S: Sub-basement.

E: Sue's not wrong, but I don't think anything is set in stone.
I mean, you know, kids are going to do what they think is cool, which is not always who they are.
You just need to find a way to get them out of their boxes.
W: Well, how do I do that? They follow the leader.
E: You know, if you can get a couple of the popular kids to sign up, the rest will fall right in line.
