Thank ou.尊敬的评委、女士们、先生们:吉卜林说过，“东方是东方，西方 是西方，两者永不聚～”然而如今，在一个世纪之后，东西方相聚了。 它们在贸易中相聚，在教育中相聚，在艺术中相聚。有人争论说这种 东西方之聚,使得我们能够在东西方中作出选择.然而我相信最美好 的未来在于东西方世界的创造性的结合，我们可以变西方的观念、习 俗、技术为己所有，为己所用;我们可以享受两上不同世界之精华， 总之，我们的传统之一就是择其精华，为己所用。 然而，西方的生 活方式和价值会威胁到我们的民族特色吗,历史让我们轻易相信— —也许是太轻易地让我们相信此说了。有人似乎认为彩西方习俗，比 如新娘结婚穿白色婚纱，是对外国介入的屈服，是对传统遗产的背叛，因为按中国传统，结婚新娘要穿红色，而白色长期以来代的是哀悼。 这些人担心一量我们变得全球化，我们也就不在是中国人了。我不这样认为。历史告诉我们:一个强大自信的民族学起外面的世界易如反掌 。无论是穿白衣还是黑衣，还是东西方异质文化的联姻，都给我们带来多姿多采的生活。 东西方异质文化的联姻是一席来自世界各地佳肴的盛宴。身为中国菜的业余美食家，我喜欢民族的佳肴。然而我的中国口味也欣赏异国的风味。生活中我为简便吃麦当劳，却不会放弃自己的良好口味。从小祖父就教我哼唱京剧，京剧深入我的精神之中，成为我灵魂的一部分。我热爱京剧，因为京剧让我总想起自己是谁。但是我也迷恋现代流行音乐，在学校里还是“辣味女孩”的头号歌迷。当然，异质文化的交流远不止于食物、音乐和舞蹈，它深入到价值观和世界观。 有一次老师给我讲了一个中国男孩和一个美国女孩发生争执的故事。在花园里他们俩发现了一只小兔，两人都想要。你肯定见过草丛中晒太阳的小兔。没什么东西比小兔子更可爱的，更富有自然情趣了，难怪他们两人都想要它。男孩拉起了二胡，愉快喜悦的琴声，充满了渴望和激-情，回荡在空中，小兔子听着这音乐轻轻摇摆，耳朵转向音乐，它喜爱男孩的琴声。女孩也取出小提琴，拉出悠扬的旋律。小兔子听了朝她跑去。两人都全神贯注于自己的音乐，丝毫没注意对方演奏的音乐。交杂在一块的音乐困惑了小兔子，它不知该朝哪走。男孩和女孩都不能将小兔子吸引过来，只好放弃，各自走开了，扔下小兔子独自一人。然而倘若他们倾听对方的音乐，而不是各自为歌，那么结果会如何呢,当我听到小提琴声响起，男男女女走道一起又唱又跳，乐声中充满了欢乐， 此时我也听见了草原上、山谷间、小河旁传来得我们本民族的音乐的回声。音乐分你我，还是属于我们大家,我想听的是二胡与小提琴的合奏，旋律与节奏和-谐一致。大家一起才能创造出新颖动听音乐， 只有在和-谐中大家才能创造出富有神韵的乐声。 在温暖的阳光中，小兔子在等待着我们一起演奏，等待着交响乐开始。他有必要再永远的等下去吗,决择在于我们自己。谢谢。Liu Xin: Thank ou, ontestant number 10. No ou're going to pare street markets and supermarkets.刘欣:谢谢十号 选手。现在请你对街市和超级市场做一个比较。Rui Cheng gang:Well, thank ou ver muh. Um as a man ho suffered from male hauvinism, I used to think that shopping is a privilege of omen. I seldom do shopping until I have to . But three ears ago, something happened and it hanged m vie. I remember it as the first da I ent to ollege. After I had put don m luggage, I ent out of the shool to have a look around. It as a romanti rain da. And guess hat, I found the street market, right beside the shool.And I sa lots of middle-aged men and omen talking ith the sellers of fruit, lothes and soft drinks and it seems to me that the ere intimate friends. And then I said to mself, h not have a tr.So I alked to the seller of pineapple and talked to him. And then i bought a pineapple andbargain ith him and then I ill eat the pineapple hile andering around the street market and enjo the si-mp-le things of life. Thank ou.芮成钢:谢谢你。唔，以前由 于深受男权主义影响，我向来把购物当作是女性的特权。 不到万不 得已决不得已决不上街购物。但在三年前发生的一件事改变了我的观 点。 记得那是我进大学的第一天，放置好行李后我走出学校四处看 一看。 那是个浪漫的雨天。你猜怎样,就在学校附近我发现了一条 街市。我看到许多中年男女正在与卖水果、服装、饮料的摊主议价， 似乎是很熟的朋友。我对自己说，何不一试呢,于是我走到一个卖菠 萝的小贩前同他说起价来，最后买下一个菠萝。忽然间我意识到这十 分有意思。回到学校后我想了一想，总结出这所以会钟情于街市的两 点原因。首先，它带给了我乐趣。其次，我喜欢讲价。实际上我认为 讲价是提高口才的极端有效的办法。没有这几年讲价经验的积累，我 想我也不会有现在的机会站在这儿用流利的英语向你们做演讲。三年 过去了，我一周还至少上街一次。我会去卖菠萝的小贩那儿和讲价， 然后一边吃菠萝一边在街市上慢步，享受生命中一些小乐趣。谢谢。 Judge: You mentioned in our first speeh the importane of variet even though the east and est are onverging. But man people think that one of the problems of modern life is the lak of variet. This hotel looks like ever other hotel in the orld and the hole orld is being an airport. Hong Kong looks like Singapore and so on. Do ou think that e ma be in danger of losing the ver variet that ou think is so important?评委:在你的第一个演讲中你提到， 尽管东、西方文化存在共性，多样性仍有其重要性。可是许多人觉得 现代生活中存在的问题之一就是缺少多样性。这家饭店看似世界上其 他饭店，整个世界成了一个机场。香港看似新加坡，诸如此类。既然 人认为多样性很重要，你是否认为我们正濒临丧失这种多样性的危机 的边缘,Rui Cheng gang:The variet. Of ourse I do not think so. I don't think e are losing variet. Instead ,e are, I think e are getting more varieties.Well noadas, as I had mentioned in m speeh, e have a bination of eastern and estern musi, food and lifes. Atuall I, I think I read an artile in Vienna and man estern riti and posers feel that a estern musi hih has traditionall emphasized on the harmonbeteen different instruments no is being inreasingl, it inreasingl reflets eastern musi . Hoever, the eastern musi brought them a pletel ne sense of musi.So I don't think e are losing variet. I think e are having more varieties. And also in our dail life, I think e have more hoie. It's not atuall a hoie beteen the east and est. Atuall I think the hoie is a bination of the to. And this doesn't neessaril mean e are losing our variet. We are updating hat variet is .Thank ou.芮成钢:说到多样性，我并不认为我们正 濒临丧失这种多样性的危机，与此相反，我认为我们正取得越来越多 的多样性。正如我刚才说过的，在现代社会中，我们在音乐、饮食和 生活方式方面都有东西方的结合。几年前，我曾在《中国日报》上看 到一篇文章，说中国音乐在维也纳受到热烈的欢迎。许多西方评论家 和作曲家认为，西方音乐传统上将重点放在各种乐器的配合上，现在 刚更多地反映东方音乐的风格。东方音乐的风格给他们带了全新的意 识。因此，我认为我们并没有丧失多样性，而是在取得更多的多样性。 在日常生活中，我们也拥有更多的选择。并不是说是选择东方还是选 择西方，而是在东西方的结合中进行选择。这不一定就意味着我们正 在丧失多样性。我们正在不断地高速这种多样性。谢谢。Judge: In our seond speeh just no about street markets. You said that ou enjoed going to the street markets. It's a peaeful life and eating pineapples. Could ou sa something more paring street markets and supermarkets as regards pries and qualit and hoie of produts, things like that.Rui Cheng gang:Yes. Of ourse I prefer street market to super market. And atuall I think, noadas the pries in the supermarket are being loer and loer to meet the demands of the people. But someho I think people, not onl Chinese people, but people from all over the orld, ill enjo street markets muh better. Beause even though going to the supermarket ill help ou to get rid of a lot of the trouble of bargaining, but someho ou lose the fun of talking ith people and muniating ith eah other, and I think the super market just reflets one of the problems of modern soiet. I mean the alienation of people and their fello man. And so I think that street market is seure to these disease or illnesses in modern soiet. Thank ou.芮成钢:好。我当然是喜欢街甚于超级市场。我认 为，现在超级市场的物价为了迎合大众的需要在逐渐调低。但我总觉 得不仅是中国人，所有的人都会喜欢街市更多一些。因为尽管上超市 可以省去讲价的麻烦，你多少也损失了和人聊天和交往的乐趣。超市 反映了现代生活的众多问题。在此我指的是人与人之间的疏离。而街 市则可避免现代社会的这些毛病。谢谢。
