music Contributes to a Joyful Mind（音乐带来欢乐）
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.
所有的事情使我快乐,音乐是我最喜欢做的事.我唱歌不是为非凡的目的.简言之,我为快乐万唱.有我唱什么歌并无限制,只要它能发泄我的情绪,稚快乐的声音传给别人.这是一件令人满意、兴奋的能够引起他们的共鸣.这是把欢乐散布四方有什么坏,是吗?你可以看出,唱歌是我的第二生命.
Music Appreciation【音乐欣赏】
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.
