Where There is Life, There is Music

　　What is music, no one can explain.

　　Just imagine for a moment that you are sitting in a magnificent concert hall. The conductor waves his shiny baton with a graceful swing through the air. A beautiful melody floats slowly around you

　　You sit quietly with your eyes shut, your heart open. The delicate vibratos of the violins carry you to a mood of heavenly bliss. An airy solo of the flute draws you to the imagination, the notes flow like some jumping swallows dancing and singing calling for the coming of Spring.

　　I like music from my childhood. My father often says when I was a baby I would never go to sleep without soft, beautiful lullabies crooning around my ears . Now music is a part of my life. When I feel tired, disappointed or in low spirits, I usually turn to music. Music, nothing but only music can have so wonderful an effect on my heart, on my pond of feeling.

　　Music comes with us. Where there is life, there is music. Where there is music, there is hope. It lies in everyday life, in everyone’s life, in everything we see, in everything we hear-- in the rhythm of the sea, in the whisper of a gentle wind, in the melody of a bird’s singing, in the harmony of village chimes. You can hear music wherever you may go . A man who doesn’t know music will lose half the world. A nation that pays little or no attention to music will be a sad nation. A world without music would be the one for the dead and devils.

　　So dear friends, let’s open our arms to embrace music and enjoy it throughout our lives. Love music and love life.

　　Thank you.

　　哪里有生活，哪里就有音樂

　　音樂是什么，無人能解釋清楚。

　　想象此刻你正坐在富麗堂皇的音樂大廳里，樂隊指揮手中的閃閃發(fā)亮的指揮棒在空中優(yōu)雅的舞動。悠揚悅耳的音調飄揚在你的周圍。

　　靜靜地閉上雙眼，敞開心扉。小提琴精妙的振顫會把你帶入到天堂祈福的心境;大提琴微弱低沉的嘆息會使你想起一位老人在風中散步，沉浸在童年時代寧靜和摯愛的回憶中;長笛輕快的獨奏使你從想象中猛醒;流暢的音符像一群飛舞歌唱的燕子在呼喚春天的來臨。

　　從童年時代音樂就是我的摯愛。父親經(jīng)常說，我在襁褓中，沒有溫柔甜美的搖籃曲在耳邊低吟，就難以入眠。現(xiàn)在音樂是我生活的一部分。每當我感到疲倦，失望或情緒不振時，我就求助于音樂。音樂，除了音樂，沒有什么對我的身心和情感有如此奇妙的影響。

　　音樂與我們同在，哪里有生活，哪里就有音樂;哪里有音樂，哪里就有希望。它存在于每個人的日常生活，存在于我們耳聞目睹的一切事物之中;存在于海的波濤，清風細語，悅耳鳥鳴，和諧的鄉(xiāng)村鐘聲之中;無論你身在何處，都會聽到音樂。一個不了解音樂的人將失去半個世界。一個不重視音樂的民族將是一個悲哀的民族。一個沒有音樂的世界將是逝者和惡人生存的世界。

　　親愛的朋友，讓我們伸開雙臂去擁抱音樂，在人生中享受音樂的樂趣。熱愛音樂，熱愛生活。

　　謝謝大家。
