Unit 6 Gratitude (感恩)Part 1 Cultural Background and Related Information电子音乐(Electronic Music，一般不缩写为EM，多为EDM)，简称电音、电子乐。广义而言，只要是使用电子设备所创造的音乐，都可属之。任何以电子合成器、效果器、电脑音乐软件、鼓机等乐器所产生的电子声响，都可合理地称为电子音乐。极狭义而言，电子音乐指涉科技(Techno)、出神(Trance)等种类的乐曲。电子音乐，其范围相当广泛，电影配乐、广告配乐，某些流行歌、摇滚乐中都经常会出现，只是常人不易发觉。Dido是英国四人超级EPIC-HOUSE / TRIP-HOP电子乐队“FAITHLESS（无信念乐队）”中的客席女主唱。Part 2 Warm-up1.Think about who we can be thankful for.2.
