Trance音樂的中文譯名是：出神舞曲，這未免太膚淺了在臺灣那邊Trance音樂被稱為傳思音樂，然而這個翻譯，似乎又太柔了。因此，大家對Trance也似乎壹直沒有壹個很好的解釋。
因此在這裏做壹個理性兼顧感性的介紹:
先看看Trance在牛津雙解辭典裏面解釋吧：
trance
英音：[træns] 美音：[træns]
1. sleep-like state, caused eg by being hypnotized 昏睡狀態; 催眠狀態: go/fall into a trance 進入[陷入]昏睡狀態 * put/send sb into a trance 使某人進入昏睡狀態 * come out of a trance 從昏睡狀態中醒來.
2. dreamy state in which one concentrates on one's thoughts and does not notice what is happening around one 出神; 發呆: She's been in a trance all day I think she's in love. 她整天發楞--我看她是陷入情網了.
去國外的資源論壇翻Trance，偶然看到壹個外國佬的簽名檔很打眼，仔細壹讀，發現他對Trance這個音樂名詞的解釋，覺得很到位.
