现在的青年朋友不大喜欢京剧，可我对京剧却十分感兴趣。
Nowadays, young friends don't like Beijing Opera very much, but I'm very interested in it.
我对京剧感兴趣都是受了爷爷奶奶的影响。他们酷爱京剧，只要电视里有京剧节目，如《九州戏苑》之类的，他们总是要看的。久而久之，我也受到感染。我发现，京剧中有许多传统文化的精华。
My interest in Peking Opera is influenced by my grandparents. They love Peking Opera very much. As long as there are Peking Opera programs on TV, such as Kyushu opera garden, they always want to watch them. Over time, I was also infected. I find that Peking Opera has many traditional cultures.
可说实在的，我对京剧知之甚少，只知道京剧讲究的是“唱念做打”，只知道京剧分为“生旦净末丑”五个行当。我常常把“正旦”和“花旦”混为一谈，甚至有时统称她们为“小旦”。完整的戏我只看过三部：《秦香莲》、《九江口》、《九道本》。现在文艺节目或是综艺晚会中所演出的京剧，大多是名剧名段，像这样的小段落我倒是看了不少。比较喜欢的是《锁麟囊》中“春秋亭外”一段，《徐策跑城》中“湛湛青天”一段，《玉堂春》中“苏三离了洪洞县”一段。
To be honest, I know very little about Beijing opera. I only know that what Beijing Opera stresses is "singing, reading, doing and fighting". I only know that Beijing opera can be divided into five industries: "life, purity, and ugliness". I often confuse "Zhengdan" with "Huadan", and sometimes call them "Xiaodan". I have only seen three Complete Plays: qinxianglian, jiujiangkou and jiudaoben. Now, most of the Peking Opera performed in the art programs or variety shows are famous operas. I have seen a lot of such small passages. What I like more is the section "outside the spring and Autumn Pavilion" in "suoling bag", the section "zhanzhanqingtian" in "XUCE running city", and the section "Su San left Hongdong county" in "yutangchun".
有人认为京剧节奏慢，听着不耐烦。其实不然，京剧节奏感强，速度有快有慢，但这都是根据剧情而定的。快，快得让你听都来不及听，还没弄明白是什么意思，它已经唱过去了。像《秦香莲》中“驸马爷近前看端详”一段，速度多快啊！如果电视机屏幕上不打字幕的话，那是根本听不清的。为什么这样快呢？就是为了表达包公愤怒的感情和急于让陈世美认下秦香莲的迫切心情。慢，慢得能一个字拖半分钟的音。像《贵妃醉酒》中杨贵妃的唱词多慢啊，这是为了体现杨贵妃那雍容华贵的气质和失落的心情。
Some people think Peking Opera is slow and impatient. In fact, Beijing opera has a strong sense of rhythm, fast and slow, but it is all determined by the plot. Come on, it's too fast for you to listen. I haven't figured out what it means. It's over. Like "Qin Xianglian" in the "prince in law to see carefully" section, how fast ah! If there is no subtitle on the TV screen, it's not clear at all. Why is it so fast? It is to express the anger of Bao Gong and the urgency to let Chen Shimei recognize Qin Xianglian. Slow, slow enough to drag a word for half a minute. For example, how slow is Yang Guifei's libretto in the drunken concubine, which is to reflect her elegant temperament and lost mood.
总之，京剧艺术极富魅力，只要细细鉴赏，就能发现无穷无尽的妙处来。我会继续看京剧、研究京剧的，并希望越来越多的青少年朋友理解京剧，喜爱京剧。
In a word, Peking Opera is very charming. If you appreciate it carefully, you can find endless beauty. I will continue to watch and study Beijing opera, and hope that more and more young people understand Beijing Opera and love it.
