壹苹派生活美语　享受科切拉音乐节的荒野狂欢（一）

The Coachella Festival is one of the world’s largest events for music, art, and fashion. When the festival began in 1999, it was a two-day event centering on alternative music. Tickets were only US$50, with parking and a bottle of water included. Attendance was low, so the organizers lost a lot of money in the first year. However, they followed their vision, improved some details, and came back in 2001 with greater success.

科切拉音乐节是世界上最大的音乐、艺术和时尚活动之一。该音乐节于 1999 年开始举办时，是个为期两天、聚焦于另类音乐的活动。门票仅要价五十美元，包含停车费和一瓶水。出席人数很少，所以主办单位第一年就损失了很多钱。然而，他们遵循自己的愿景，改善了一些细节，并在 2001 年卷土重来且大获成功。
