NEW YORK - The Beatles(甲壳虫乐队，亦称披头士) are back — but this time the world's most famous rock band may be stirring(刺激) more excitement in executive suites(商务套房) than in campuses and schoolyards(校园).
When "The Beatles: Rock Band" video game hits store shelves on Wednesday — packed with 45 songs for players to sing, strum(演奏弦乐器) and drum(打鼓) along with — the industry hopes it will provide the lift(鼓舞，激励) that retailers(零售商), publishers(发行商) and console makers desperately need for this holiday shopping season.
Developed by Harmonix Music Systems, published by Viacom Inc.'s MTV Games and distributed by Electronic Arts Inc, the game could sell 2 million units in the first month alone, according to analyst estimates.
注：executive suite指商务套房，在句子中与campuses and schoolyards(校园)作对比，分别指代现在的“商务人士”与“学生”。现在的商务人士一般都了解Beatles，熟悉他们的歌，而现在的学生一般不熟悉Beatles。所以文中说这款游戏会在商务人士中激起更大的反响。
