人教版《英语》必修三 Unit 3 Diverse Cultures Listening and Talking 听力原文
Listening Part 1
Justin: Hey, Wu Yue, do you know what kind of instrument these Miao performers are playing?
Wu Yue: Yes, it's called a lusheng, my favourite musical instrument.
Justin: It sounds beautiful. Is it made of bamboo?
Wu Yue: Yes. Can you guess when it was invented?
Justin: Um ... five hundred years ago? I can't tell. I know China has a very long history.
Wu Yue: That's a good guess, but the lusheng actually has a history of over 3,000 years. It's even mentioned in the oldest collection of Chinese poetry.
Justin: Wow, such a long time ago. There must be many beautiful songs.
Wu Yue: Yes, indeed, and they all make me proud. You know, I'm a Miao, too, and I'm really proud of our culture. Look, the performers are performing the lusheng dance.
(Music)
Justin: This is great! And I really like the silver accessories that the girls are wearing. What are they?
Wu Yue: Oh, they're traditional hand‑made accessories. I can help you buy some as souvenirs if you like.
Justin: Great, thanks! I hope they're not too expensive.
Wu Yue: Oh, well, it'll depend on the percentage of silver.
Listening Part 2
(A few minutes later)
Justin: Great, now I have my souvenirs. So where are we going next, Wu Yue?
Wu Yue: I'm taking you to Zhaoxing, a pretty Dong minority village. It's considered one of China's most beautiful villages.
Justin: Great. I can't wait. There must be a lot to see.
Wu Yue: There is. First, I'll take you to see the beautiful drum towers, and then the wind and rain bridges. The Dong play the lusheng, too. Perhaps you'll see them perform the Grand Song of the Dong People. Believe me, you'll love it.
Justin: Wow. I'm really looking forward to it now.
