短篇英語範文【36】音樂訢賞

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.

Singing Contributes to a Joyful Mind
歌唱帶來歡樂

　　Of all the things that make me happy, singing 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.

　　在所有使我快樂的事中，唱歌是我最喜歡做的一件事。我唱歌不是爲特別的目的。簡言之，我爲快樂萬唱。我唱什麽歌竝無限制，衹要它能發泄我的情緒，稚快樂的聲音傳給周遭的人就好了。能夠引起他們的共鳴更是一件令人滿意、興奮的事。把歡樂散佈四方不是件壞事，是嗎？你可以看出，唱歌是我的第二生命。
