这样的话，为了理解摇滚，我们必须理解什么是奴隶制，奴隶制给那些完全不了解美国文化的欧洲渊源的黑人的子孙（原文是子女，子孙更符合国人习惯）们带来了什么。由于奴隶制提供了一个完美的理论，解释了为什么摇滚作为文化上的革新，超越了其本身的意义而与其他音乐形式截然不同。毕竟，每个社会都有它的本土音乐，作为娱乐工具、宗教和庆祝仪式的伴奏，产生凝聚力，记载传说，传承历史。摇滚，继承了Stephen Foster 和 Cole Porter，理所当然的在这些方面成为了现代美国民乐。
但实际上自从1955年以来，以上也仅仅是摇滚在美国，以至于在世界上地位的一个小小侧面，摇滚影响力的更重大的一面（原文为元素，理解为方面）已经远远超越了类似于其他民乐的传统文化凝聚作用。
为了证明（原文为巩固，理解为证明）并解释这个论点，我们可以看看奴隶制，它强制性的将来自两种文化的全然不同的元素放进了一个大熔炉（而不仅仅是小水壶），它为美国乡间农场的白人带来了发源于地球另一端的非洲的一系列节拍和歌唱的传统，并加入了一种重要的元素：那种在奴隶制下（原文仅有sl，怀疑是slavery）独立发展出来的，精神上的也几乎是致命的敏感和忧郁（这个分句有所调整）。最后的这个成分是至关重要的：蓝调并没有回到非洲。
摇滚是非洲和美国文化的混血儿，但是它最主要的渊源是奴隶们世代的苦难和挣扎（原文为生存，挣扎更符合语境）。他们了解到音乐是怎样能够使人暂时从尘世的痛苦中解脱出来。蓝调歌唱悲伤、辛劳和失落，但演唱蓝调的原因正是要抚平它们所带来的伤痛。蓝调，用它简单而不断重复的韵律与和声，以及感情充沛的词汇，传达了一种令人感到安慰的信息，如果观众知道歌手来自何方，那么他们也可以感受到。蓝调歌手在经济大萧条时期，尤其是在南方，无论黑人白人中都如此受欢迎就不难理解了。这样也容易理解在蓝调（以及后来的R&B和摇滚）与教堂圣歌之间的紧密联系：从长远来看，歌颂能够使你升天的上帝，和歌唱使你雨滴一般落回地面的蓝调，在精神上是等价的。

最后这句似乎是个谚语，不太好翻译，我认为就是“我们的肉体囚禁了灵魂。”

了解摇滚,所以,我们必须了解什么是奴役、 而它留给儿女非洲人谁也不知道美国文化的欧洲根源. 为提供完善的理奴役、 完美解释为什么摇滚音乐应该站除了其他形式 作为文革本身. 每个社会,毕竟有其土著音乐,作为娱乐、伴奏、仪式礼仪、向心力, 故事柜员保鲜历史. 摇滚,当然是美国现代民歌在这方面,继任者斯蒂芬培育和柯尔波特. 但这只是一种轻微的面貌摇滚的地方,美国人 事实上,自1955年世界社会、 和岩石成分较大的影响远远超出了传统文化接触粘合剂等民俗作品中的地位. 要巩固这种说法,并解释它,我们可以直接点奴隶制 而强行混合的两种截然不同的文化元素,在沸腾釜(而非熔炉) 引进白、农村 美国农业的一系列节奏与声乐传统肇始于对地球另一端的非洲 并增加了一个重要精神,忧郁、 听天由命,几乎感觉自己长大了slthis最后关键因素: 他们不唱衰回非洲. 摇滚是非洲裔美国混合,但其根源是非常强烈的痛苦、生存、 奴隶的后代,他们学会了音乐可以帮助人类超越了人间痛了一会儿. 唱蓝调悲情、辛劳、灭失, 但原因在于纾演唱蓝调这些东西造成伤害. 蓝调,以其简便、重复性节奏与抒情句弦和、 公用信息提供了安慰和听众分享的音乐家, 只要知道那是来自歌手. 这也难怪,在这么流行蓝调歌手忧郁,尤其是在南部, 除黑白两种观众. 这也是容易理解的牢固关系蓝调(后怨曲、摇滚)及福音 音乐:从世俗的角度来看, 大约基督解除你唱歌唱了起来蓝调大起大落的行为等于精神上都落如雨. 鸟类的囚禁灵魂.

为了弄明白摇滚是怎么一回事，首先我们要搞清楚什么是奴隶制度，还有就是我们要了解非洲人把他们那些后裔都留在了什么地方，而这些后裔们根本不懂的美国文明的欧洲起源。因为美国的努力制度提供了一个近乎完美的基本原理，而正是这个原理可以很好的解释为什么摇滚乐可以在文化不停的变革中能够区别于别的音乐形式并且屹立不倒。毕竟每一个社会都有它独特的音乐形式用来娱乐大众，用于各种典礼，用于聚力（就像我们的船工号子），用于讲故事，还有就是它还是一种历史的载体。从这种层面上来讲，摇滚乐肯定是现代美国的民乐，是Stephen Foster 和 Cole Porter的继承者。不过这只是摇滚乐在影响美国文化中很多方面中的冰山一角而已，事实上早在从1995年开始 摇滚乐中的大部分元素对社会的影响力已经远落后于其他各种民谣了。为了证明这一观点并做出解释.我们可以直接瞄准奴隶制度，这种制度和原来的美国文化在一个沸腾的锅炉中激烈碰撞，给原来田园似的美国白人文化带来位于地球另一端的来自非洲传统的韵律和节奏，甚至一种忧郁宿命的情感和思想。 最后的这种元素是至关重要的：他们在非洲没有蓝调。摇滚乐美国文化和非洲文化的混血儿，但它最强有力的源头是那些受苦受难而又侥幸生存下来世世代代的奴隶们， 我们知道音乐能够使人们暂时远离现实中的痛苦。蓝调歌曲中有很多关于悲伤，痛苦以及失落的内容，但是人们演唱它的目的就是为了减轻和缓解这种痛苦和失落。蓝调用它那简单重复的韵律，和声以及抒情的歌词，给音乐家和听众分享共同的令人惬意的语言。所以在经济萧条时蓝调音乐在南方的白人和黑人中间非常流行，这一点都不奇怪。所以蓝调（包括后来的R&B和摇滚乐）和教堂音乐摇滚乐的紧密联系也就很容易理解了：从长远来看，歌唱上帝能使你到达天堂，而歌唱蓝调能使你像雨滴一样回到地面，二者在精神层面上应该时等价的。
