1.Do you enjoy dancing?
My mother has always said that dancing is in my blood. She danced, her mother danced, so, naturally, I wouldn’t end up dancing. She was right. I started dancing the moment I could stand on two feet and I haven’t stopped since. I just love it.
我媽總說我愛跳舞是天生的。她和外婆都跳舞，我自然也會(huì)跳舞。她一點(diǎn)沒說錯(cuò)。我自從能走路開始就跳舞了，再?zèng)]停止過。這是我熱愛的事。
2.Has anyone ever taught you to dance?
As a kid, I learned from watching my parents dance. I would watch them in the park and in our home, dancing together, and I copied. I tried ballet lessons as a small girl but the only thing I enjoyed about that was the costume. I started contemporary dance classes aged 13, when I had decided that’s what I wanted to do.
小的時(shí)候，我觀看我父母的舞蹈并從中學(xué)習(xí)。我會(huì)在公園和我們家看他們跳舞并且模仿他們。在我還是一個(gè)小姑娘的時(shí)候我嘗試過芭蕾課程，但是我喜歡的僅僅是芭蕾的裝束罷了。13歲的時(shí)候，我開始學(xué)習(xí)現(xiàn)代舞，那個(gè)時(shí)候我就決定了那才是我想學(xué)的。

China is famous for its many styles of traditional dances. It seems that every province and every minority group, of which there are many, has its own traditional style. To me, Mongolian traditional dancing is the most beautiful to watch.
中國(guó)以風(fēng)格多樣的傳統(tǒng)舞蹈而。似乎很多省和少數(shù)名族都有他們各自的舞蹈，其中一些都有他們的傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)格。在我看來，蒙古舞是好看的。
4.Do old people in China like the same kind of dancing as young people?
There is a huge discrepancy between the different kinds of things old and young people do. It is very common to see older people dancing in public spaces, like parks, early in the morning or in the evening. Young people don’t do this very often, as they prefer to spend time with their friends doing other things, like going to KTV.
老年人和年輕人所做的事情之間有很大的差異。老年人在公眾場(chǎng)合跳舞，像公園，在早晨或者是晚上，都是非常常見的。年輕人卻不常這樣，他們更愿意和他們的朋友去做別的事情，像去KTV。
5.Do you think that traditional dancing will be popular in the future? Why? / Why not?
The major fascination with traditional dancing – both in China and in other countries – is the preservation of cultures and traditions. Social scientists around the world like to study these practices, so there may always be specialists, but I don’t think that normal people will continue to perform traditional dances very far in the future as the fashion is already dying out.
在中國(guó)和其他國(guó)家，傳統(tǒng)舞蹈大的魅力是對(duì)文化和傳統(tǒng)的保護(hù)。全世界的社會(huì)科學(xué)家都喜歡去研究這些習(xí)俗，所以可能總會(huì)有這樣的專家，但我認(rèn)為普通人不可能在非常遙遠(yuǎn)的未來繼續(xù)表演傳統(tǒng)舞蹈，因?yàn)閭鹘y(tǒng)舞蹈在逐漸消亡。
