| A: | 你怎么在看《唐诗三百首》？ |
| Nǐ zěnme zài kàn { Tángshī sānbǎi shǒu }? |
| What are you doing reading "300 Tang Poems?" |
|
|
| B: | 我喜欢啊。读古诗是我从小的爱好。 |
| Wǒ xǐhuan ā. Dú gǔshī shì wǒ cóngxiǎo de àihào. |
| I like it. Reading ancient poetry is a hobby of mine since childhood. |
|
|
| A: | 不会吧？我毕业以后最高兴的就是不用再看、再背一首古诗了。你居然把它当做爱好。 |
| Bùhuì ba? Wǒ bìyè yǐhòu zuì gāoxìng de jiùshì bùyòng zài kàn, zài bēi yī shǒu gǔshī le. Nǐ jūrán bǎ tā dàngzuò àihào. |
| No way! What made me happiest about having graduated was not having to read or memorize a single ancient poem ever again. And then you go make a hobby out of it. |
|
|
| B: | 是啊！这么美的语言，你怎么会没感觉呢？朗诵诗歌简直是一种享受。 |
| Shì a! Zhème měilì de yǔyán, nǐ zénme huì méi gǎnjué ne? Lǎngsòng shīgē jiǎnzhí shì yī zhǒng xiǎngshòu. |
| Yeah! Such beautiful language--how could it not invoke emotion in you? Reciting poetry is just such a pleasure. |
|
|
| A: | 我看是受罪。我刚会说话的时候，我爸妈就逼我背唐诗。上学以后，不只要背，还要写。不准错一个字。你说我怎么可能会爱上诗歌？ |
| Wǒ kàn shì shòuzuì. Wǒ gāng huì shuōhuà de shíhou, wǒ bàmā jiù bī wǒ bēi tángshī. Shàngxué yǐhòu, bùzhǐ yào bēi, háiyào xiě. Bùzhǔn cuò yī ge zì. Nǐ shuō wǒ zěnme kěnéng huì àishàng shīgē? |
| To me it's torture. Just after learning to talk, my parents forced me to memorize Tang poetry. After starting school, not only did I have to memorize it, I also had to write it. I wasn't allowed to get a single character wrong. So tell me how I'm going to fall in love with poetry. |
|
|
| B: | 我跟你不一样，我从小就喜欢诗歌，特别是古诗。 |
| Wǒ gēn nǐ bùyīyàng, wǒ cóngxiǎo jiù xǐhuan shīgē, tèbié shì gǔshī. |
| I'm not like you... I've liked poetry since I was little, and especially ancient poetry. |
|
|
| A: | 那你最喜欢哪一个诗人？ |
| Nà nǐ zuì xǐhuan nǎ yī ge shīrén? |
| So what poets do you like? |
|
|
| B: | 太多了！唐朝的我喜欢李白、杜甫。宋朝的最喜欢苏轼。 |
| Tài duō le! Tángcháo de wǒ xǐhuan Lǐ Bái, Dù Fǔ. Sòngcháo de zuì xǐhuan Sū Shì. |
| So many! From Tang Dynasty, I like Li Bai and Du Fu. From Song Dynasty, I like Su Shi. |
|
|
| A: | 总之我就是讨厌诗。 |
| Zǒngzhī wǒ jiùshì tǎoyàn shī. |
| Anyway, I just hate poetry. |
|
|
| B: | 哎，你真没文化。 |
| āi, nǐ zhēn méi wénhuà. |
| Ah, you're really so uneducated. |
