王力宏牛津大学演讲的英汉互译练习

　　还记得刚听说王力宏在牛津大学的演讲，兴奋的直接说不着觉。几年过去了，再一次看到这份资料，依旧激动难耐。就来做一下英汉互译练习把。

Taiwanese singer Wang Leehom became the first Chinese singer that was invited to speak at Oxford union       at the University of Oxford.

According to Asianpopnews website, the singer attended the event after an invitation was made by its organiser, who felt that Wang Leehom has an influence in the Asian music world, and is qualified to propagate the Chinese culture.

Speaking on the theme of "Understanding Chinese Pop", Leehom shared about how he felt alienated in his younger days despite seeing himself as an American, and also shared how music had helped him to integrate in the Western society.

The singer revealed, "I lived in New York and rarely spoke a word of Chinese. But when I was in my third grade, I got teased for being a Chinese. Nonetheless, as soon as I started playing music or singing, the other kids would forget about my race and my skin colour and will see me for who I am."

Leehom also took the opportunity to introduce some of the big names in Chinese music, including A-Mei, David Tao, Teresa Teng and Tsai Chin, saying that he hopes people can enjoy the classic works of these talented artistes.

When asked about his thoughts on the invitation from the union      , the singer enthused, "I am very happy that I have another opportunity to fulfil my mission, and that is to promote Chinese pop culture to the world."

Wang Leehom joins the ranks of distinguished speakers that include Albert Einstein, Michael Jackson, Richard Nixon, Johnny Depp, Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill, all of whom have been recognised by The Oxford union      .

王力宏受邀于伦敦时间4月21日中午12点在牛津争辩社辩论室(Oxford union       debating chamber)进行讲演。据悉，牛津辩论社(Oxford union      )是一个有190年历史的组织，他们的目标是要成为有趣的和有影响力的人谈判和辩论的聚集点。

主办方表示：“此次邀请力宏来报告，因为他在全亚洲，特殊是中国，有很大的影响力，非常有资格念叨中国文化的传播。”对此次受邀，力宏也表现无比荣幸：“很高兴有多个机会促成我的使命——把东方风行文明带到全世界。”

在演讲正式开始前，王力宏特别带领现场所有人为在四川雅安地震和波士顿马拉松爆炸案中的遇难者默哀一分钟，并为他们祈福。对此王力宏说道：“近期在东西方四川，波士顿都发生了天灾和人祸，所以，恳切祈祷世界上各民族的人，都尽量能够以‘爱’去包容世间万物。”而力宏也表示接下来将连续通过始终合作的“世界展望会”以最实际的举措去援助需要帮助的人。

此次王力宏牛津演讲的主题是“意识华流”，他在现场跟大家分享了不少生活轶事，其中不乏亲自感想：“童年时会觉得自己完全是个西方的人，可是仍是以为疏远。我曾经走过这条道路，所以更想在这个征途上引导别人。”谈到中西方融合时，他也深感本人肩负的使命：“东方和西方就像大学一年级室友，如果想要愉快地共存，必须理解、懂得对方。双方像室友一样，都须要尽自己的努力改进关系，并奇特成型寰球流。我始终想把东方文化带到世界各地，之前音乐里面也有用过很多中国的元素，让更多人看到东方文化的不同和博大精深。”
