儿子的演讲稿

(2006-12-22 13:15:49)

原文2006年5月18日发于中国博客网

儿子昨晚参加演讲比赛, 是全Santa Clara县 (美国的州辖县, 县辖市) 高中学校为母语不是英语的移民学生组织的. 他的老师Ms. McCormick在谈到比赛的目的时说, “This is a terrific opportunity to meet other ELD students, to show how much they have learned, and to discover that they are not alone out there in Silicon Valley.”

儿子在第二轮就被淘汰下来, 他的老师以及有些评委都比较惋惜, 因为他讲的还不错,只是超时太多. 老师在比赛后写给我的Email里说, “Actually, I was a bit surprised that Baoluo's presentation didn't succeed further, but I under stand he was over six minute time allotment, and perhaps the judges were harsh about that." 老师以美国人的方式告诉我, "Tell him how proud I am of him!" 并说, “I think he, and all my students…will do superbly next year!”

儿子来美国还不到一年, 很快适应了这里的生活, 交到了朋友, 英语也有了很大进步, 至少听课已经没有什么问题了. 有几门课还拿了A, 数学更拿过AA. 不过他还没意识到将来的竞争会有多激烈, 生活将会多艰辛, 所以每天主要时间都用在网络游戏上. 还有不到半年他也十八岁了, 我自然不会把他赶出家门让他独立, 但真希望他到十八岁的时候能更成熟一些, 更在意自己的未来而不是眼前的痛快.

下面是他的演讲稿. 别做范文啊, 里面的错误老师和我都没做修正, 只想让大家看看他真实的水平. 他讲的是中国的民族乐器二胡, 边讲边演示, 示范, 演奏(这大概也是用时较多的原因之一吧). 我很赞成他的选题, 在国外嘛, 就要介绍中国, 让老外了解中国. 这个要顶!

附: 演讲稿

Hi everyone. Look at this, please. It’s cook, isn’t it?

This is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. I don’t know if it has an English name, but I heard that people in western countries call it “Chinese violin”. In China we call it Erhu.

Erhu was invented by people, about 1000 years ago, in a richest dynasty in Chinese history. At first it was use for accompany but now it’s great for solo.

I think you guys have already known a little bit about Erhu’s history. Now let’s begin to know about Erhu’s shape and how to play it. Erhu has a long neck and a small body. Every Erhu is made from wood. The better the wood, the more expensive an Erhu is. The most expensive one I saw is about 100,000 RMB yuan. The sales person said the wood is really good and that’s why it was so expensive. Another important thing is the string. Strings are always made of steel, because people want to use the strings for a long time. Look here. This part is made from snake skin. I have no idea why they need to use this kind of material but it really looks cool. (Pulling out the cloth) When you buy an Erhu, they don’t give you this—it’s just a piece of cloth. Put this between the strings and the body. It can make Erhu sound better.

Someone must really want to know how to play this. Now I’ll show and explain to you. This is the bow. Now hold it like this and move it from left to right and from right to left. It’s an easy job, right? But do you hear the sound? No. You need to let the bow touch the strings and pull it close to the body. Do not use too much strength. If you do that, like this (demonstrating), what do you hear? That’s not music. That’s noise. So when you play, you need to control the strength well and do it smoothly. Now the music is coming…

There are many famous Erhu players in China. I once heard one of the greatest Erhu players in a concert. It was really amazing. Her name is Song Fei. About 100 years ago, there was a famous composer and player named A Bing (Hua Yanjun). He is really very famous in Erhu history. I’ve brought to you some pieces for you to listen to. This is the most famous one. Listen…It’s called Er-Quan-Ying-Yue, or Moon reflected in the spring in English, composed by A Bing. And this one…it’s the saddest on in all of Erhu Music.
