Wherever the Beatles went, masses of fans would welcome them at the airport in a phenomenon that was then called 'Beatlemania', as if it were some kind of mental illness.(不管‘披頭士’在哪里，都會有成群的歌迷們在機場歡迎他們，這種現象當時被稱為‘披頭士狂熱’，仿佛那是一種精神疾病。)

Beatlemania shocked me-the moppy hairstyles and the loud, raw rock 'n' roll.(披頭士狂那掃把一樣的發型和響亮的原生態搖滾嚇著了我。)

In Beatlemania days, of course, neither band nor audience could hear anything but screams and the sound of girls' panties hitting the stage.(在披頭士到處風靡的時候，連樂隊自己都聽不見自己的聲音，更別說是觀眾了，少女們的尖叫和他們大腿撞擊舞臺的聲音蓋過了一切。)

Beatlemania came to North America in early 1964, and the band's popularity spread across much of the world.(披頭士狂熱于1964年初傳至北美，樂隊也由此幾乎風靡全世界。)
