music Contributes to a Joyful Mind（音樂(lè)帶來(lái)歡樂(lè)）
Of all the things that make me happy, music is what I like to do best. I sing for no particular purpose. In short, I sing for fun. There is no limit to what I sing, so long as it can let out my emotion and pass the pleasant voice to others. It is something more satisfactory and exciting to draw echoes from them. It is nothing bad to spread joy around, is it? As you can tell, singing is my second life.
所有的事情使我快樂(lè),音樂(lè)是我最喜歡做的事.我唱歌不是為非凡的目的.簡(jiǎn)言之,我為快樂(lè)萬(wàn)唱.有我唱什么歌并無(wú)限制,只要它能發(fā)泄我的情緒,稚快樂(lè)的聲音傳給別人.這是一件令人滿意、興奮的能夠引起他們的共鳴.這是把歡樂(lè)散布四方有什么壞,是嗎?你可以看出,唱歌是我的第二生命.
Music Appreciation【音樂(lè)欣賞】
What is your favorite kind of music? Do you like jazz, popular music, classical music, folk songs, blues, and so on? In high school I took one course called music appreciation which I greatly enjoyed. This was not to learn how to play a specific instrument but to learn how to read and listen to music as an art form. We read the stories about the lives of many composers and the history of the musical instruments themselves. Sometimes we listened to tapes at the language laboratory, or concerts. Music is sometimes called a universal language. A composer who cannot speak a single word of our language can make us feel joy and pride, exaltation and despair, peace and mystery through his music.
