我的一个中国朋友昨天晚上带我去听了一场中国民乐的音乐会。这首用二胡演奏的曲子特别打动了我。
The music was strangely beautiful,but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain.The piece had a simple name,Erquan Yingyue(Moon Reflected on Second Spring),but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I've ever heard.The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened.
曲子美得出奇,但在它的衬托下我感到了强烈的悲伤和痛苦。曲子的名字很简单,叫二泉映月,但这是我冲卖听过的最感人的音乐之一,二胡的声音很伤感,我听的时候几乎都跟着它哭了。
Later I looked up the history of Erquan yingyue,and I began to understand the sadness in the music.

这首曲子是阿炳写的,一个1893年出生在无锡市的民间音乐家,他很小的时散帆逗候母轿迟亲就去世了。阿炳的父亲教他演奏许多乐器,如鼓、笛子、二胡等,到17岁时,阿炳就以音乐才能闻名。
However,after his father died,Abing's life grew worse.He was very poor.Not only that,he developed a serious illness and became blind .For several years,he had no home.
然而,父亲去世后,阿炳的生活变得更糟。他非常贫穷,不仅如此,他得了重病变瞎了。几年来,他没有家。
He lived on the streets and played music to make money.Even after Abing got married and had a home again,he continued to sing and paly on the streets.He performed in this way for many years.
他在街上生活,他演奏音乐挣钱,甚至在阿炳结婚又有了家后,他还继续在街上唱歌和演奏,他用这种方法表演了很多年。
Abing's amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime.By the end of his life,he could play over 600 pieces of music.Many of these were written by Abing himself.
阿炳惊人的音乐技巧使他在有生之年非常受欢迎。到他生命的尽头,他可以演奏600多首乐曲。其中许多都是阿炳自己创作的。
It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for future world to hear,but his popularity continues to this day.Today, Abing'sErquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise.It has become one of China's national treasures.
遗憾的是总共只有六首曲子被录制下来供后世欣赏,但他的受欢迎程度一直持续到今天。今天,阿炳的《二泉映月》是所有二胡大师都在演奏和赞美的作品,它已成为中国的国宝之一。
Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing'own life but also makes people recall their deepest wounds from their own sad or painful experiences.
