第一篇：王力宏牛津大學(xué)演講稿

篇一：王力宏牛津大學(xué)演講稿中英文全篇 leehom wang oxford union speech exception。。because knowing both of a coin i really think thatthere’s a love story willing to be told and willing to unfold。i’m willing to tointerpret the love story because i believe it is the story that will save us，will bring us together。and my thesis statement for today’s talk is that the relationship between east and west needs to be and can be fixed via pop culture。

（laughing。。）i’m going to try to back it up！

the united nations secretary general ban ki-moon said：“there are no languages required in a music world。that is the power of music and that’s the power of the heart。through this promotion of arts we can better understand the culture and civilizations of the other people。in this era ofinstability and intolerance we need to promote better understanding through the power of music。” the un secretary general thinks we need more music，and i think he’s right。music and arts have always played the key role in my life，in building relationships，replacing what once was ignorance fearing of hatred with acceptance，friendship and even love。so i have strong case for growing in music between cultures because it happened to me earlier in life。i was born and raised up in new york，barely spoke a word of chinese。i didn’t know the difference between taiwan and thailand。

（laughing。。）i was american as。。until one day on a third grade playground，the inevitable finally happened。i got teased for being chinese。every kid just teased for making fun on the playground，but this was fundamentally different and i knew it right then and there。thiskid，let’s call him brayan the cowboy。。he started making fun for me，saying“chinese，japanese,dirty kneess,look at these!”(laughing?)the kids started laughing at me and it hurts!i can still remember how i can felt，i felt shamed，i felt barrased，but i laughted along with them，with everybody。i didn’t know what else to do。i was like having out-body experience，as if i could laugh at that chinese kid on the playground with all the other american kids because i was one of them。right？wrong！on many levels。

and i was facing first but definitely not the last time the harsh reality that i was minority。in rochester，which in those ages asian population was about 1%。and i was confused。i wanted to punch bryan，i wanted to hurt him for hunting me in that situation。but he was masculine，stronger than me and he will kick my butt and he would do that so i just took it in。and i didn’t tell anyone with these feelings and i just held them in and let them repressed.those feelings trough surface in a strangely therapeutically for me through music。it was no coincident that around that time i started paly violion，guitar and drums，i soon discovered that playing music or singing，other kids would，for a brief moment，forget about my race of colour and they be able to see who truly i am，as a human being who’s emotional spiritual curious about the world and has a need for love just like everyone else。and by the sixth grade，guess who asked me if i could join him for his band。

（bryan）bryan！

i said yes and that’s bryan and me together，from the elementary school rock band called“nirvana”（laughing）i’m not kidding，i was a rock band called“nirvana”before kurt cobain’s band。so when nirvana came out，bryan and i werelike:hey，he’s stealing our name!what really attracted to me is that music at this young age and still i love about it is that it breakes down the walls between us and show us so quickly the truth that we are much more alike than we are different。then in high school，i learnt that music was not just about connecting with others，like bryan and i were connected through music。it was a powerful tool of influence and inspiraton。

sam nguyen was my high school janitor。he was an immigrant from vietnam who barely spoke a word of english。sam swept the floors and cleaned the bathroom of our school for twenty years。he never talked to the kids and the kids never talked to sam。but one day，before the opening night before our school’s annual，he walked up to me and holding a letter。

i was taken to the back and i was thingking;why sam the janitor would approaching me? he gave me this letter that i was draw off in a shaky hand and written in all capitals，and i read it: in all my years of working as a janitor at sutherland，you are the first asianboy who plays the rock，i will bring my six-year-old daughter to。。。但凡事物都有兩面，所以我認(rèn)為這背后蘊(yùn)含著一個(gè)亟待講述的愛(ài)情故事。我更傾向于這樣的解釋是因?yàn)槲蚁嘈牛@些關(guān)于愛(ài)的故事可以拯救我我們，把我們凝聚在一起。我今天演講的主題就是：通過(guò)流行文化修復(fù)東方世界與西方世界的關(guān)系(眾人笑)（我知道這題目很大）我會(huì)想辦法講明白的！

聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)潘基文說(shuō)過(guò)：在音樂(lè)的世界里，溝通是無(wú)需語(yǔ)言的。這就是音樂(lè)的力量，這就是人心的力量。通過(guò)發(fā)揚(yáng)藝術(shù)，我們才能更好地了解其他民族的文明與文化。在這個(gè)動(dòng)蕩不安，人與人之間不慎寬容的年代，我們需要用音樂(lè)的力量來(lái)更好的了解彼此。

聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)認(rèn)為我們需要更多的音樂(lè)，這一點(diǎn)我很贊同。

音樂(lè)和藝術(shù)一直在我的生命中占據(jù)著很重要的地位。音樂(lè)和藝術(shù)的力量能幫助建立人與人之間的關(guān)系，用包容，友誼和愛(ài)來(lái)驅(qū)逐因?yàn)闊o(wú)知的仇恨而產(chǎn)生的恐懼。

對(duì)于在不同的文化背景下在音樂(lè)中成長(zhǎng)這件事，我自己童年時(shí)期的經(jīng)歷是一個(gè)最好的例證。我在紐約長(zhǎng)大，幾乎連一句中文都不會(huì)說(shuō)，以前我連“臺(tái)灣”和“泰國(guó)”都分不清。

（大笑）

知道我上了三年級(jí)，有一天在操場(chǎng)上，不可避免的事情終于發(fā)生了。因?yàn)槭侵袊?guó)人的血統(tǒng)，我第一次被人取笑了。當(dāng)然，平時(shí)一起玩的小孩子都會(huì)互相戲弄開玩笑，但是這次絕對(duì)不同，這點(diǎn)我在彼時(shí)彼地就感覺(jué)到了。我們暫且管那孩子叫牛仔布萊恩吧！他嘲笑我說(shuō)：“chinese，japanese，dirty knees，look at these！

大家都開始嘲笑我，我真的很受傷！我依然能夠記得我當(dāng)時(shí)的感覺(jué)，我覺(jué)得特別丟臉和慚愧，但是我當(dāng)時(shí)跟著所有其他人一樣在笑。年幼的我并不知道該怎么辦，似乎覺(jué)得如果我能跟操場(chǎng)上其他美國(guó)孩子一樣嘲笑“中國(guó)人”，我就能置身事外了，我就是他們當(dāng)中的一員了。這種想法可取嗎？當(dāng)然不可取，而且是大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)。篇二：王力宏牛津大學(xué)演講稿 王力宏牛津大學(xué)演講稿 thank you.謝謝你們。i never thought i would be addressing you, the esteemed members of the oxford union, without a guitar or an erhu, without my crazy stage hair, costumes.but i did perform in the o2 arena in london last week.i am not sure if any of you were able to make that.but in many ways, that was similar to what i’m talking about today, that is, introducing chinese pop music here.尊敬的各位牛津大學(xué)辯論會(huì)和牛津大學(xué)亞太學(xué)生會(huì)的同學(xué)們，萬(wàn)萬(wàn)想不到會(huì)以這樣的方式跟你們相聚。沒(méi)有吉他和二胡，沒(méi)有夸張的舞臺(tái)裝也沒(méi)有“火力全開”頭。不過(guò)上周確實(shí)在倫敦的o2體育館表演過(guò)了。不知道大家有沒(méi)有去看呢。但是，從各方面來(lái)說(shuō)，這些跟我們今天的話題都有密切的關(guān)聯(lián)。那就是-介紹華流音樂(lè)。

其實(shí)無(wú)論我喜不喜歡，我都被認(rèn)為在代表者華流音樂(lè)以及電影。那么今天，我就要來(lái)做一次“國(guó)情咨文”報(bào)告了。但是，這個(gè)“國(guó)”不是牛津，而是東西方的一個(gè)聯(lián)合體。我想跟你們聊一聊，我們?cè)趯⑷A語(yǔ)音樂(lè)引入西方社會(huì)方面所做的事情，無(wú)論是成就，還是不足。我都會(huì)坦誠(chéng)布公。同時(shí)，我也想借此機(jī)會(huì)給你們留下這樣一個(gè)印記：軟實(shí)力交流的重要性以及它同我們每個(gè)人的相關(guān)程度。

soft power, a term i am sure you are all familiar with this point 軟實(shí)力這個(gè)詞我相信大家都不陌生。這個(gè)概念是由rhodes scholar 和牛津校友joseph nye 提出的。

被定義為一種“吸引”和“說(shuō)服”的能力。

shashi tharoor 在最近的一次ted演講中把它定義為“一種文化讓其他文化在聽了他動(dòng)人的故事之后受到影響并愛(ài)上這種文化”的能力。but i want to put it in collegiate term for all you students in the audience: the way i see it, east and west are kinda like freshman roommates.但是我想用貼近你們?cè)谧龃髮W(xué)生們的方式來(lái)解釋這個(gè)詞。在我看來(lái)，東方跟西方在某種程度上，像是兩個(gè)大一剛?cè)雽W(xué)的新生舍友。兩個(gè)幾乎陌生的人，突然來(lái)到同一個(gè)屋檐下，其中一個(gè)總是怕另一個(gè)會(huì)跟他搶洗澡的時(shí)間，或者在他想要學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候大開趴體。這種關(guān)系很可能就變成跟地獄一樣了，不是么？“我的室友是極品”的故事大家都講得出來(lái)。這些事我都有耳聞。還有我知道牛津這兒的很多同學(xué)都一人一間的對(duì)吧，但是，在我剛上威廉姆斯學(xué)院的時(shí)候，我并不幸運(yùn)，而且人身安全堪憂。

(you are kidding me.woo-hoo!all right, all right！great.)哇，你還真的是我們學(xué)校的！好吧，好棒！

我當(dāng)時(shí)就有一個(gè)這樣的極品舍友，讓我們暫且叫他frank。這個(gè)frank 就是那種好像除了抽大麻沒(méi)有別的愛(ài)好的人。而且他每天都抽。and frank had a two-foot long bong under his bed that was constantly being fired up.for those chiese speakers in the audience.frank would “火力全開” on that bong every day.他床底下有一個(gè)兩英尺長(zhǎng)的煙斗，持續(xù)不斷的得點(diǎn)著。給在做講中文的同學(xué)們形容下，就是他每天會(huì)對(duì)著那個(gè)煙斗火力全開

all right 好吧。我可能在這點(diǎn)上算是跟bill clinton 相反吧。bill clinton 是那種“我試過(guò)大麻，但我不上癮。”我不抽大麻，但是我每天都在吸啊吸，而且還是二手的。奇怪的是，只要我在我們的臥室里，我最后都會(huì)稀里糊涂地上課遲到。我也不知道怎么回事。我當(dāng)時(shí)就是那副吸了大麻的樣子，嘿，已經(jīng)十點(diǎn)了嗎？你們中有多少人有過(guò)frank那樣的舍友呢？或者，你們也像他一樣。所以有一個(gè)室友可能是一場(chǎng)災(zāi)難的開始。但也可能會(huì)釀造一段非凡的友誼。frank第二年就輟學(xué)了。于是我換了兩個(gè)新的舍友，stefan 和 jason。如今，我們?nèi)齻€(gè)是鐵哥們。

那么，回過(guò)頭來(lái)，正視我們?cè)诂F(xiàn)實(shí)中的處境。看看最近的新聞?lì)^條：《外交政策》雜志上的，“中國(guó)的受害者情節(jié)：為何中國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人如此猜忌美國(guó)”或者法新社的財(cái)經(jīng)雜志《彭博商業(yè)周刊》上說(shuō)，“沒(méi)錯(cuò)，中國(guó)軍隊(duì)正在測(cè)探你。”這個(gè)特別逗，我來(lái)給你們展示一下這封面。是的，特別恐慌有木有！方向那對(duì)的吧，嗯，對(duì)的。當(dāng)今對(duì)于中國(guó)有太多的負(fù)面東西。恐華情緒很嚴(yán)重。我覺(jué)得這種現(xiàn)象不僅是一種誤傳同時(shí)也是一種誤導(dǎo)。這是很可怕的，超級(jí)可怕。

那么，中國(guó)人又是如何看待西方的呢？我們對(duì)西方人的稱呼五花八門。大家熟知的有：香港人叫他們“鬼佬”，字面上就是“老妖”。大陸人叫他們老外，字面上就是“蠻夷”。還有臺(tái)灣人叫他們“紅毛”。還真說(shuō)不完呢。這看上去像是能發(fā)展成一段最佳友誼的舍友關(guān)系嗎？我認(rèn)為我們得治治病。隨著中國(guó)實(shí)力不斷強(qiáng)大，看清楚應(yīng)該相信什么這一點(diǎn)空前重要。因?yàn)椋瑲w根結(jié)底，這就是高等教育的目的。這就是我們坐在這里的原因：有能力獨(dú)立思考，自主選擇。中國(guó)當(dāng)然不能通過(guò)那些新聞?lì)^條來(lái)定義。也不只是所謂的特殊政策下快速增長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)濟(jì)。中國(guó)不僅僅是一個(gè)世界工廠，也不僅僅是未來(lái)超級(jí)大國(guó)。中國(guó)的意義價(jià)值遠(yuǎn)大于此。一個(gè)擁有十幾億人口，豐富悠久的歷史文化與傳奇故事的民族。作為中西兩種文化的共同產(chǎn)物，我特別想要幫忙在兩種文化之間培養(yǎng)起一種互相的理解，建立起一種很美好的情誼。

但凡事都有兩面，所以我認(rèn)為這背后蘊(yùn)含著一個(gè)亟待講述的愛(ài)情故事。我說(shuō)“愛(ài)情故事”不完全在說(shuō)笑。因?yàn)槲蚁嘈牛@些關(guān)于愛(ài)的故事能夠拯救我們，把我們凝聚在一起。我今天講的主題就是，通過(guò)流行文化修復(fù)東西方世界的關(guān)系。好宏偉的計(jì)劃有木有啊！我會(huì)想辦法講明白的。聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)潘基文說(shuō)過(guò)，在音樂(lè)的世界里，溝通時(shí)無(wú)需語(yǔ)言的。這就是音樂(lè)的力量。這就是人心的力量。通過(guò)發(fā)揚(yáng)藝術(shù)，我們才能夠更好的了解其他民族的文明與文化。在這個(gè)動(dòng)蕩不安，人與人之間不甚寬容的年代，我們需要利用音樂(lè)的力量來(lái)更好的了解彼此。now the un secretary general thinks we need more music, and i think he is right.music and arts have always played the key role in my life in building relationships, replacing what once was the ignorance, fear and hatred with acceptance, friendships and even love.so i have a strong case for promoting music between cultures because it happened to me early in life.聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)認(rèn)為我們需要更多的音樂(lè)。這一點(diǎn)我很贊同。音樂(lè)和藝術(shù)一直在我的生命中占據(jù)著很重要的地位。音樂(lè)和藝術(shù)的力量能夠幫助建立人與人之間的關(guān)系，用包容，友誼和愛(ài)來(lái)驅(qū)逐因?yàn)闊o(wú)知的仇恨而產(chǎn)生的恐懼。在不同文化之間推廣音樂(lè)這一點(diǎn)上，我自己的童年時(shí)期的經(jīng)歷是一個(gè)最好的例證。

我在紐約的羅切斯特長(zhǎng)大，幾乎不會(huì)說(shuō)中文。我連“臺(tái)灣”和“泰國(guó)”這兩個(gè)詞都分不清楚。那是真的！我那時(shí)是個(gè)地地道道的美國(guó)人。直到我上了三年級(jí)，有一天在操場(chǎng)上，不可避免的事情終于發(fā)生了。因?yàn)橹袊?guó)人的血統(tǒng)，我第一次被人嘲笑了。當(dāng)然一起玩的小孩都會(huì)互相戲弄開玩笑，但這次絕對(duì)不同。這點(diǎn)當(dāng)時(shí)我立馬就感覺(jué)到了。我們暫且管那個(gè)孩子叫bryan m吧。它開始嘲笑我說(shuō)，中國(guó)人，日本人，臟膝蓋，快來(lái)看。（英文還押韻）你們居然還笑，我太受傷了！好吧，我只是開個(gè)玩笑。我依然能夠記得我當(dāng)時(shí)的感覺(jué)。我感覺(jué)特別丟臉，特別尷尬。

但是我當(dāng)時(shí)跟著所有其他人一直在笑。年幼的我并不知道該怎么辦。當(dāng)時(shí)感覺(jué)好像靈魂出竅一樣。好像我能夠和操場(chǎng)上其他美國(guó)孩子一起嘲笑中國(guó)人，我就是他們當(dāng)中一員了。這種想法可取嗎？當(dāng)然不可取，而且是大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)。那是我第一次感受到一件殘酷而現(xiàn)實(shí)的事實(shí)。我屬于一個(gè)少數(shù)群體，但那絕不是最后一次。在那個(gè)時(shí)代的羅切斯特，亞洲人口特別少，幾乎之占當(dāng)?shù)厝丝诘陌俜种弧?/p>

我當(dāng)時(shí)心里很亂，我很想把bryan 打一頓。他讓我陷入那種窘境，因此我也要讓他難過(guò)。但是他身材比我壯，出手也比我快。如果和他打架，我一定會(huì)被揍得更慘。這一點(diǎn)我們篇三：時(shí)尚雅思聽力：王力宏牛津大學(xué)魅力演講

以下內(nèi)容是王力宏受邀在牛津大學(xué)以認(rèn)識(shí)華流為主題的一篇演講稿，他在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)也跟大家分享了不少生活軼事，其中不乏切身感受。談到中西方融合時(shí)，他也深感自己肩負(fù)的使命。在演講最后，王力宏還不忘將優(yōu)秀的華人音樂(lè)帶給大家。

今天開始之前，我想要先為四川地震的災(zāi)民們以及波士頓馬拉松爆炸事件的受害者們默哀。讓我們用一分鐘時(shí)間，為他們祈福。

謝謝你們。

尊敬的各位牛津大學(xué)辯論會(huì)和牛津大學(xué)亞太學(xué)生會(huì)的同學(xué)們，萬(wàn)萬(wàn)想不到會(huì)以這樣的方式跟你們相聚。沒(méi)有吉他和二胡，沒(méi)有夸張的舞臺(tái)裝也沒(méi)有火力全開頭。不過(guò)上周確實(shí)在倫敦的O2體育館表演過(guò)了。不知道大家有沒(méi)有去看呢。但是，從各方面來(lái)說(shuō)，這些跟我們今天的話題都有密切的關(guān)聯(lián)。那就是-介紹華流音樂(lè)。

其實(shí)無(wú)論我喜不喜歡，我都被認(rèn)為在代表者華流音樂(lè)以及電影。那么今天，我就要來(lái)做一次國(guó)情咨文報(bào)告了。但是，這個(gè)國(guó)不是牛津，而是東西方的一個(gè)聯(lián)合體。我想跟你們聊一聊，我們?cè)趯⑷A語(yǔ)音樂(lè)引入西方社會(huì)方面所做的事情，無(wú)論是成就，還是不足。我都會(huì)坦誠(chéng)布公。同時(shí)，我也想借此機(jī)會(huì)給你們留下這樣一個(gè)印記：軟實(shí)力交流的重要性以及它同我們每個(gè)人的相關(guān)程度。

軟實(shí)力這個(gè)詞我相信大家都不陌生。這個(gè)概念是由Rhodes Scholar 和牛津校友Joseph Nye 提出的。

被定義為一種吸引和說(shuō)服的能力。

Shashi Tharoor 在最近的一次TED演講中把它定義為一種文化讓其他文化在聽了他動(dòng)人的故事之后受到影響并愛(ài)上這種文化的能力。

我很喜歡這個(gè)定義。

但是我想用貼近你們?cè)谧龃髮W(xué)生們的方式來(lái)解釋這個(gè)詞。在我看來(lái)，東方跟西方在某種程度上，像是兩個(gè)大一剛?cè)雽W(xué)的新生舍友。

兩個(gè)幾乎陌生的人，突然來(lái)到同一個(gè)屋檐下，其中一個(gè)總是怕另一個(gè)會(huì)跟他搶洗澡的時(shí)間，或者在他想要學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候大開趴體。

這種關(guān)系很可能就變成跟地獄一樣了，不是么?我的室友是極品的故事大家都講得出來(lái)。這些事我都有耳聞。還有我知道牛津這兒的很多同學(xué)都一人一間的對(duì)吧，但是，在我剛上威廉姆斯學(xué)院的時(shí)候，我并不幸運(yùn)，而且人身安全堪憂。

哇，你還真的是我們學(xué)校的!好吧，好棒!我當(dāng)時(shí)就有一個(gè)這樣的極品舍友，讓我們暫且叫他frank。這個(gè)frank 就是那種好像除了抽大麻沒(méi)有別的愛(ài)好的人。而且他每天都抽。

他床底下有一個(gè)兩英尺長(zhǎng)的煙斗，持續(xù)不斷的得點(diǎn)著。給在做講中文的同學(xué)們形容下，就是他每天會(huì)對(duì)著那個(gè)煙斗火力全開好吧。

我可能在這點(diǎn)上算是跟Bill Clinton 相反吧。Bill Clinton 是那種我試過(guò)大麻，但我不上癮。我不抽大麻，但是我每天都在吸啊吸，而且還是二手的。奇怪的是，只要我在我們的臥室里，我最后都會(huì)稀里糊涂地上課遲到。我也不知道怎么回事。我當(dāng)時(shí)就是那副吸了大麻的樣子，嘿，已經(jīng)十點(diǎn)了嗎? 你們中有多少人有過(guò)frank那樣的舍友呢?或者，你們也像他一樣。所以有一個(gè)室友可能是一場(chǎng)災(zāi)難的開始。但也可能會(huì)釀造一段非凡的友誼。Frank第二年就輟學(xué)了。于是我換了兩個(gè)新的舍友，Stefan 和 Jason。如今，我們?nèi)齻€(gè)是鐵哥們。

回過(guò)頭來(lái)看我的那個(gè)類比，我們東方和西方的舍友。是應(yīng)該成為frank那樣的存在，還是想像Stefan 和 Jason那樣呢?我認(rèn)為在當(dāng)時(shí)當(dāng)下，在2013，我們應(yīng)該努力成為后者。我們應(yīng)該，我是說(shuō)，我想在這一目標(biāo)上我們是可以達(dá)成共識(shí)的，對(duì)吧? 那么，回過(guò)頭來(lái)，正視我們?cè)诂F(xiàn)實(shí)中的處境。看看最近的新聞?lì)^條：《外交政策》雜志上的，中國(guó)的受害者情節(jié)：為何中國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人如此猜忌美國(guó)或者法新社的財(cái)經(jīng)雜志《彭博商業(yè)周刊》上說(shuō)，沒(méi)錯(cuò)，中國(guó)軍隊(duì)正在測(cè)探你。

這個(gè)特別逗，我來(lái)給你們展示一下這封面。是的，特別恐慌有木有!方向那對(duì)的吧，嗯，對(duì)的。當(dāng)今對(duì)于中國(guó)有太多的負(fù)面東西。恐華情緒很嚴(yán)重。我覺(jué)得這種現(xiàn)象不僅是一種誤傳同時(shí)也是一種誤導(dǎo)。這是很可怕的，超級(jí)可怕。

那么，中國(guó)人又是如何看待西方的呢?我們對(duì)西方人的稱呼五花八門。大家熟知的有：香港人叫他們鬼佬，字面上就是老妖。大陸人叫他們老外，字面上就是蠻夷。還有臺(tái)灣人叫他們紅毛。還真說(shuō)不完呢。這看上去像是能發(fā)展成一段最佳友誼的舍友關(guān)系嗎?我認(rèn)為我們得治治病。隨著中國(guó)實(shí)力不斷強(qiáng)大，看清楚應(yīng)該相信什么這一點(diǎn)空前重要。因?yàn)椋瑲w根結(jié)底，這就是高等教育的目的。

這就是我們坐在這里的原因：有能力獨(dú)立思考，自主選擇。中國(guó)當(dāng)然不能通過(guò)那些新聞?lì)^條來(lái)定義。也不只是所謂的特殊政策下快速增長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)濟(jì)。中國(guó)不僅僅是一個(gè)世界工廠，也不僅僅是未來(lái)超級(jí)大國(guó)。中國(guó)的意義價(jià)值遠(yuǎn)大于此。一個(gè)擁有十幾億人口，豐富悠久的歷史文化與傳奇故事的民族。作為中西兩種文化的共同產(chǎn)物，我特別想要幫忙在兩種文化之間培養(yǎng)起一種互相的理解，建立起一種很美好的情誼。

第三篇：王力宏牛津大學(xué)演講稿中英文全篇

Leehom Wang Oxford Union speech

exception

。。because knowing both of a coin I really

think thatthere’s a love story willing to be told and willing to

unfold。I’m willing to tointerpret the love story

because I believe it is the story that will save us，will bring us

together。

And my thesis

statement for today’s talk is that the relationship between east and west needsto be and can be fixed via pop culture。

（laughing。。）

I’m going to try to

back it up！

The United Nations

Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said：“There are no languages required in a musicworld。That is the power of music and that’s the power of the

heart。Through this promotion of arts we can better understand the

culture and civilizations of the other people。In this era

ofinstability and intolerance we need to promote better understanding throughthe power of music。”

The UN Secretary

General thinks we need more music，and

I think he’s right。

Music and arts have

always played the key role in my life，in building relationships，replacingwhat once was ignorance fearing of hatred with

acceptance，friendship and even love。

So I have strong

case for growing in music between cultures because it happened to me earlier inlife。

I was born and

raised up in New York，barely spoke a

word of Chinese。I didn’t know the difference between Taiwan and

Thailand。

（laughing。。）

I was American

as。。until one day on a third grade

playground，the inevitable finally happened。I got

teased for being Chinese。

Every kid just

teased for making fun on the playground，but this was fundamentally different and I knewit right then and there。Thiskid，let’s call him Brayan

the Cowboy。。

He started making

fun for me，saying“Chinese，Japanese,Dirty

kneess,Look at these!”

(laughing…)

The kids started

laughing at me and it hurts!

I can still

remember how I can felt，I felt

shamed，I felt barrased，but I laughted along with

them，with everybody。I didn’t know what else to

do。I was like having out-body experience，as if I could

laugh at that Chinese kid on the playground with all the other American kids

because I was one of them。

Right？Wrong！On many

levels。

And I was facing

first but definitely not the last time the harsh reality that I was

minority。

In

Rochester，which in those ages Asian

population was about 1%。And I was confused。I wanted to

punch Bryan，I wanted to hurt him for hunting me in that

situation。But he was masculine，stronger than me and he

will kick my butt and he would do that so I just took it in。And I

didn’t tell anyone with these feelings and I just held them in and let them

repressed.Those feelings

trough surface in a strangely therapeutically for me through music。

It was no

coincident that around that time I started paly violion，guitar and drums，I soon discoveredthat playing music or singing，other kids would，for a

brief moment，forget about my

race of colour and they be able to see who truly I am，as a human

being who’s

emotional spiritual curious about the world and has a need for love just like

everyone else。

And by the sixth

grade，guess who asked me if I could

join him for his band。

（Bryan）

Bryan！

I said yes and

that’s Bryan and me together，from the

elementary school rock band called“Nirvana”

（laughing）

I’m not

kidding，I was a rock band

called“Nirvana”before Kurt Cobain’s

band。So when Nirvana came out，Bryan and I were

like:Hey，he’s stealing our name!

What really

attracted to me is that music at this young age and still I love about it is

that it breakes down the walls between us and show us so quickly the truth thatwe are much more alike than we are different。

Then in high

school，I learnt that music was not

just about connecting with others，like Bryan and I were connected

through music。It was a powerful tool of influence and

inspiraton。

Sam Nguyen was my

high school janitor。He was an

immigrant from Vietnam who barely spoke a word of English。

Sam swept the

floors and cleaned the bathroom of our school for twenty years。

He never talked to

the kids and the kids never talked to Sam。

But one

day，before the opening night before

our school’s annual，he walked up to me and holding a

letter。

I was taken to the

back and I was thingking;why Sam the janitor would approaching me?

He gave me this

letter that I was draw off in a shaky hand and written in all

capitals，and I read

it:

In all my years of working as a janitor at

Sutherland，you are the first Asian

boy who plays the rock，I will bring my six-year-old daughter to

watch you perform because I wanted her to see the Asian communities and inspireher。

。。。但凡事物都有兩面，所以我認(rèn)為這背后蘊(yùn)含著一個(gè)亟待講述的愛(ài)情故事。我更傾向于這樣的解釋是因?yàn)槲蚁嘈牛@些關(guān)于愛(ài)的故事可以拯救我我們，把我們凝聚在一起。

我今天演講的主題就是：通過(guò)流行文化修復(fù)東方世界與西方世界的關(guān)系

(眾人笑)

（我知道這題目很大）我會(huì)想辦法講明白的！

聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)潘基文說(shuō)過(guò)：在音樂(lè)的世界里，溝通是無(wú)需語(yǔ)言的。這就是音樂(lè)的力量，這就是人心的力量。通過(guò)發(fā)揚(yáng)藝術(shù)，我們才能更好地了解其他民族的文明與文化。在這個(gè)動(dòng)蕩不安，人與人之間不慎寬容的年代，我們需要用音樂(lè)的力量來(lái)更好的了解彼此。

聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)認(rèn)為我們需要更多的音樂(lè)，這一點(diǎn)我很贊同。

音樂(lè)和藝術(shù)一直在我的生命中占據(jù)著很重要的地位。音樂(lè)和藝術(shù)的力量能幫助建立人與人之間的關(guān)系，用包容，友誼和愛(ài)來(lái)驅(qū)逐因?yàn)闊o(wú)知的仇恨而產(chǎn)生的恐懼。

對(duì)于在不同的文化背景下在音樂(lè)中成長(zhǎng)這件事，我自己童年時(shí)期的經(jīng)歷是一個(gè)最好的例證。

我在紐約長(zhǎng)大，幾乎連一句中文都不會(huì)說(shuō)，以前我連“臺(tái)灣”和“泰國(guó)”都分不清。

（大笑）

知道我上了三年級(jí)，有一天在操場(chǎng)上，不可避免的事情終于發(fā)生了。因?yàn)槭侵袊?guó)人的血統(tǒng)，我第一次被人取笑了。當(dāng)然，平時(shí)一起玩的小孩子都會(huì)互相戲弄開玩笑，但是這次絕對(duì)不同，這點(diǎn)我在彼時(shí)彼地就感覺(jué)到了。我們暫且管那孩子叫牛仔布萊恩吧！他嘲笑我說(shuō)：“Chinese，Japanese，Dirty

Knees，Look at these！

大家都開始嘲笑我，我真的很受傷！我依然能夠記得我當(dāng)時(shí)的感覺(jué)，我覺(jué)得特別丟臉和慚愧，但是我當(dāng)時(shí)跟著所有其他人一樣在笑。年幼的我并不知道該怎么辦，似乎覺(jué)得如果我能跟操場(chǎng)上其他美國(guó)孩子一樣嘲笑“中國(guó)人”，我就能置身事外了，我就是他們當(dāng)中的一員了。

這種想法可取嗎？當(dāng)然不可取，而且是大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)。

那是我第一次感受到一件殘酷而現(xiàn)實(shí)的事實(shí)：我屬于一個(gè)少數(shù)群體。但那絕對(duì)不是最后一次。

在那個(gè)時(shí)候的羅切斯特，亞洲人口特別少，幾乎只占當(dāng)?shù)厝丝诘陌俜种弧Ｎ耶?dāng)時(shí)心里很亂。我想揍那個(gè)孩子，他傷害了我因此我也想要傷害他。但是他很結(jié)實(shí)，比我壯得多。如果我揍了他一定會(huì)被揍得更慘。所以我就忍下來(lái)了。那件事我從來(lái)都沒(méi)有告訴任何人，一直自己忍著，壓抑著那些難受。

我心里的這些感覺(jué)十分其妙的被音樂(lè)治愈了。我正好在那個(gè)時(shí)候?qū)W習(xí)小提琴，彈吉他，打鼓。。。當(dāng)然這不是巧合。我漸漸發(fā)現(xiàn)，當(dāng)我演奏或者唱歌的時(shí)候，其他的孩子便會(huì)忘記我的種族，我的膚色而真正的接受我，了解真正的我，哪怕只是一些小會(huì)兒。每當(dāng)這個(gè)時(shí)候，他們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，我也跟他么一樣，對(duì)世界充滿感性的好奇和想象，我也需要愛(ài)。

到了六年級(jí)的時(shí)候。猜猜誰(shuí)拉我加入他的樂(lè)隊(duì)？

（眾人：布萊恩！）

對(duì)，布萊恩。

我答應(yīng)了，于是布萊恩和我一起組了我們小學(xué)的搖滾樂(lè)隊(duì)：涅槃樂(lè)隊(duì)。

（大笑）

是真的我沒(méi)開玩笑。我們的樂(lè)隊(duì)在科特科本的“涅槃樂(lè)隊(duì)”之前就有了。所以后來(lái)“涅槃”出道的時(shí)候，我和布萊恩還嚷嚷：嗨，他盜用我們的名字！

所以在那么小的時(shí)候我就發(fā)現(xiàn)了音樂(lè)的迷人之處音樂(lè)能打破人與人之間的隔閡，能讓我們那么快就看清彼此之間的相似點(diǎn)，而不是那些不同之處。當(dāng)然這也是我至今熱愛(ài)音樂(lè)的原因之一。

后來(lái)上了高中，我學(xué)到了更多：音樂(lè)不僅能溝通彼此，就像我跟布萊恩通過(guò)音樂(lè)結(jié)緣一樣，他同時(shí)也是一股強(qiáng)大的影響他人，激勵(lì)他人的力量。

阮薩木是我們學(xué)校的門衛(wèi)，他是越南僑民，幾乎從來(lái)都不說(shuō)英語(yǔ)。薩姆在我們學(xué)校做了二十年的清潔工作，卻從來(lái)沒(méi)跟學(xué)生說(shuō)過(guò)話，學(xué)生們也從來(lái)不跟他說(shuō)。

但是突然有一天，在我們學(xué)校一年一度的音樂(lè)節(jié)前夕，薩姆找到我，手里拿著一封信。我被帶到后臺(tái)，心里琢磨，門衛(wèi)薩姆會(huì)有什么事兒找我？

他遞給我那封信：潦草的字跡，全部大寫的字母：我在這個(gè)學(xué)校工作了這么多年里，你是我見到的第一個(gè)上臺(tái)表演的亞洲男孩。我要帶我六歲的女兒來(lái)看那你的演出，因?yàn)槲蚁胍吹轿覀儊喼奕说娜后w，讓她感受一下這種激勵(lì)。

第四篇：王力宏牛津大學(xué)演講英文全文

王力宏牛津大學(xué)演講英文全文

I never thought I would be addressing you, the esteemed members of the Oxford Union, without a guitar or an erhu, without my crazy stage hair and costumes, but I did perform in the O2 Arena in London last week.I’m not sure if any of you [x]…

But in many ways that is similar to what I’m talking about today, that is, introducing Chinese pop music.See, I’m actually an ambassador for Chinese pop, whether I like it or not, for both music and movies, and today I’m here to give you a State of Union address.It’s not the Oxford Union, it’s the union of East and West.I want to frankly and openly and honestly talk about how we’ve done a good job, or how we’ve done a bad job, of bringing Chinese pop to the West.And I also want to impress upon all of you here today the workings of that soft power exchange and how each of us is involved in that exchange.Soft power, a term I’m sure you’re all familiar with, coined by Rhodes Scholar and Oxford alumnus Joseph Nye, is defined as the ability to attract and persuade.Shashi Tharoor called it, in a recent TEDTalk, “the ability of a culture to tell a compelling story and influence others to fall in love with them”.I like that definition.But I want to put it in collegiate term for you students in the audience.The way I see it, East and West, are kinda like freshmen roommates.You don’t know a lot about each other aside that you’re living with each other in the same room.And each one is scared the other’s gonna steal his shower time or wants to party when the other wants to study.It has the potential to be absolute hell.We all have horror stories of that roommate, we all heard about those stories.I know a lot of students here in Oxford have their own separate bedrooms.But when I was a freshman at Williams College [crowd interjects] You’re kidding!Woohoo!Well I had a roommate.And he was that roommate.Let’s just call him Frank.So Frank was my roommate and Frank liked nothing more than to smoke weed.[laughter] And he did it every day.And Frank had a 2-foot long bong under his bed that was constantly being fired up.For those Chinese speakers in the audience, Frank would 火力全開 on that bong.So I guess I was kinda the opposite of Bill Clinton, who tried marijuana but didn’t inhale: I didn’t try marijuana but I did inhale.Every single day.Second hand.And strangely enough, every time I go into our bedroom, I mysteriously end up being late for class.I was like, dude is it already 10 o’clock?

So, how many of you have lived with that Frank, or be a Frank? Having a roommate can be a recipe for disaster, but it also can have the potential of being the greatest friendship you’ve ever had.See, Frank, he didn’t make it to second year.And I got two new roommates instead: Stephan and Jason, and these days the three of us are the best of friends.So going back to my analogy, East and West, as roommates, do we want to be Frank, or do we want to be Steph and Jason, and I think in this day and age, in 2013, we should all be striving for the latter.I’m assuming we all agree that this is the goal that we all strive for.Now, let’s look at where we are in reality, in recent headlines, in the media include, Foreign policy [maybe?], China’s victim complex, Why are Chinese leaders so paranoid about the United States or the [AP, the Associated Press?], Human rights in China worse than US.Bloomberg says, on the cover of this magazine, Yes, the Chinese army is spying on you [laughter] And it’s such a great one that I want to show you the cover of the magazine [laughter][Ed:check out the photo on the right!] Yes, be very afraid![laughter]

There’s actually an extremely high amount of negativity and fear and anxiety about China, Sinophobia, that I think is not just misinformed and misleading and ultimately dangerous.Very dangerous.And what about how Westerners are viewed by Chinese? Well, we have terms for Westerners.The most common of which are gwailo, in Cantonese which means “the old devil”, laowai, meaning “the old outsider” in Mandarin, ang moh, which means “the red hairy one” in Taiwanese, and the list goes on and on.So are these roommates heading for a best friend relationship? I think we need a little help.And as China rise to power, I think it is more important than ever for us to more discerning about what we believe because after all, I think, that’s the purpose of higher education, and that’s why we are all here, to be able to think for ourselves and make our own decisions.China’s not just those headlines.The burgeoning economy with unique politics.It is not just the world’s factory or the next big superpower, it’s so much more, a billion people with rich culture, amazing stories, and as a product of both of those cultures, I want to help foster an understanding between the two.And [x] that incredible relationship, because knowing both sides of the coin, I really think that there is a love story waiting to be told, ready to unfold.And I’m only half joking when I said love story because I believe it is the stories that will save us and bring us closer together.And my thesis statement for today’s talk is that the relationship between East and West needs to be and can be fixed via pop culture, and I’m going to try and back it up.Now, the UN Sec-Gen Ban Ki Moon said, “There are no languages required in the musical world.That is the power of music.That is the power of heart.” Through this promotion of arts we can better understand the culture and civilisation of other people.And in this era of instability and intolerance, we need to promote better understanding through the power of music.The UN Sec-Gen thinks that we need more music, and I think that he is right.Music and arts have always played a key role in my life, in building relationships, replacing what once were ignorance, fear and hatred, with acceptance, friendship and even love.So I have a strong case for promoting music between cultures because it happened to me early in my life.I was born in Rochester, New York, I barely spoke a word of Chinese.I didn't know the difference between Taiwan or Thailand.[laughter] I was as American as apple pie, until one day on the 3rd grade playground, the inevitable finally happened: I got teased for being Chinese.Now every kid gets teased or being made fun of in the playground, but this was fundamentally different and I knew right then and there.So this kid let’s call him Brian [x].He started making fun of me, saying “Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these!” [laughing] We’re laughing now but it hurt!

I could still remember how I felt, I felt ashamed, I felt embarrassed.But I laughed along with everyone.And I didn't know what else to do.It was like having an out of body experience.As if I could laugh at that Chinese kid on the playground with all the other Americans because I was one of them, right? Wrong, on many levels.And I was facing the first and definitely not the last time the harsh reality was that I was minority in Rochester, which in those days had an Asian population of 1%.And I was confused.I wanted to punch Brian.I wanted to hurt him for putting me in that situation but he was faster than me, and he was stronger than me, and he would kick my butt and we both knew that, so I just took it in.I didn't tell anyone or share with anyone these feelings, I just held them in and I let them fester.And those feelings would surface in a strangely therapeutic way for me through music, and it was no coincidence that around at that time I started getting good with the violin, and the guitar and the drums.And I’d soon discovered that by playing music or singing that the other kids would for a brief moment forget about my race or color and accept me and then be able to see me for who I truly am: a human being who is emotional, spiritual, curious about the world, and has a need for love just like everyone else.And by the sixth grade, guess who asked me if I would the drummer of their band? Brian.And I said yes.And that’s when we together formed an elementary school rock band called… Nirvana.I’m not kidding, I was in a rock band called Nirvana before Kurt Cobain's Nirvana was ever known… So when Nirvana came out, Brian and I were like, hey he’s stealing our name!But really what attracted me to music at this young age was just that, and still is what I love about music, is that it breaks down the walls between us and shows us so quickly the truth that we are much more alike than we [think?].And then in high school, I learned that music wasn’t just about connecting with others, like Brian and I were connected through music.It was a powerful tool of influence and inspiration.Sam [Nguyen?] was my high school janitor.He was an immigrant from Vietnam who barely spoke a word of English.Sam scrubbed the floors and cleaned the bathrooms of our school for twenty years.He never talked to the kids, and the kids never talked to Sam.But one day before the opening night of our school’s annual musical, he walked up to me holding a letter, and I was taken aback and I was thinking, why is Sam the janitor approaching me? And he gave me this letter that I’ve kept it to this day, it was scrawled in shaky hand written in all capitals and it read, in my all years working as a janitor at Sutherland, you were the first Asian boy to play the lead role.I’m going to bring my 6-year-old daughter to watch you perform tonight because I want her to see that Asians can be inspiring.And that letter just floored me.I was 15 years old and I was absolutely stunned.That was the first time I realized how music was so important.With Brian, it helped two kids who were initially enemies to become friends, but with Sam, music went beyond the one-on-one.It was an even higher level;it influenced others I didn’t even know, in ways I could never imagine.I can’t tell you how grateful I am to Sam to this day, he really is one of the people who helped me discover my life’s purpose, and I had no idea that something I did could mean more than ever imagined to an immigrant from Vietnam who barely even spoke English.Pop culture, music, and the other methods of storytelling, movies, TV dramas, they are so key, and they do connect us, like me and Brian, and do influence us, and inspire us.Then let’s take another look at this state of union, the East and West union, with this soft power bias.How is the soft power exchange between these two roommates? Are there songs in English that have become hits in China? Sure.How about movies? Well, there are so many that China has had to limit the number of Hollywood movies imported into the country so that local films could even have a chance at success.What about [x], well, [inaudible exchange with an audience member], yeah, and movies, well there was Crouching Tiger [Hidden Dragon], that was 13 years ago.Well, I think there’s a bit of an imbalance here.It’s called “soft power deficit”, that is to say the West influences the East more than vice versa.Forgive me for using “East” and “West” kinda loosely, it’s a lot easier to say than “English-speaking… language” or “Asian-speaking… language/Chinese”, I’m making generalisation and I hope you can go with me on this.And it’s just intrinsically a problem, this imbalance in pop culture influence.And I think so.In any healthy relationship, friendship, marriage, isn’t it important for both sides to make an effort to understand the other? And that this exchange needs to have a healthy balance? And how do we address this? As an ambassador for Chinese pop music and movies, I have to ask myself a question: Why does this deficit exist? Is it because Chinese music just [is lame?].Do you want me to answer that? [laughter] Yeah I think I see some of you are like, stop complaining and write a hit song!Psy did it!But there’s truth in that.The argument being that, the content that we’ve created just isn’t as internationally competitive.But why shouldn’t it?

Look at Korean pop, look at K-pop for example.Korean is an export-based economy and they are outward looking and they must be outward looking.Chinese pop on the other hand can just stay domestic, tour all over China, stick in territories and comfortably sustain.So when you’re that big and powerful, with over 160 cities in China with a million or more people, you tend to kinda turn inward and be complacent.So this certainly can be made an argument made for Chinese pop not being marketed with international sensibilities, but the other side of the argument I think is more interesting and thought provoking and even more true, is that Western ears aren’t familiar with and therefore don’t really understand how to appreciate Chinese music.Ouch!

The reason I think that the argument holds water though is because that’s exactly what I went through, so I happen to know a thing or two about learning to appreciate Chinese pop as a Westerner.'Cos I was 17 years old when I went from being an Asian kid in America to being an American kid in Asia, and the entire paradigm suddenly got flipped on its head.I grew up listening to Beastie Boys, Led Zeppelin, Guns and Roses, and I found myself in Taiwan listening to the radio and thinking, where’s the beat? Where’s the screeching guitar solos? Here I am as an American kid in Asia listening to Chinese music for the first time and thinking that “this stuff is lame.I don’t like it!” I thought it was cheesy, production value was low, and the singers couldn’t belt like Axl Rose or Mariah Carey.But then one day, I went to my first Chinese pop concert, and it was Harlem Yu performing at the Taipei Music Centre, and as he performed, I looked around the audience and I saw their faces and the looks in their eyes and their response to his music, and it was clear to me finally where the problem lay.It wasn’t that the music that was lacking, it was my ability to appreciate it and to hear it in the right way.The crowd, they would sing along and be totally immerse in his music, and I thought that it was significant, that I was missing the point and from now on, I was going to somehow learn how to get it, I was gonna learn how to hear with both ears, and I deconstructed and analysed what it was that made Chinese audiences connect with certain types of melodies, and rhythms, and song structures, and lyrics, and that’s what I’ve been doing for the past almost twenty years, and it took me a long time and I am still learning but at some point, I not only began to be able to appreciate the music but I started being able to contribute to it and create my own fresh spins on the tried-and-true.And I think this happens to everyone, really, who is on the outside looking in.It always looks strange if you looked at things from your perspective, you’re always going to think that these people are weirdos, what’s wrong with them, why are they listening to these stuff? And I’m saying that you can make the effort [x], it can be done, and I’m living proof of that.And as an ambassador of Chinese pop, I’m trying to get people to open up to a sound that they may not feel is palatable on the first listen.So what else can we do to reduce this imbalance in our popular cultures? Well, maybe we could talk a lot, tour more outside of China? But seriously, actually I think the tides have already started to change, very slowly, very cautiously, almost calculatedly.You see more cross-cultural exchange now, more interest in China, definitely a lot of joint ventures, a lot of co-productions in recent years, Iron Man 3, Transformers, [53?][laughter], Resident Evil, really it’s beginning to be kinda like a world pop, and that’s what I’m looking forward to and focusing on these days.There’s J-pop, there’s K-pop, there’s C-pop, and there’s like this W-pop that’s kinda starting to emerge.It’s world pop, and I love that idea.It’s not World Music.There used to be section in HMV called World Music, and I was like Ethnomusicology class in college.But world pop is more about breaking and tearing down age-old stereotypes, the artificial confines that have kept us apart for way too long.It’s a melting pot, and it’s mosaic, that even if we looked up close, we’d still see the colours and flavours of each culture in detail.And where can we go to listen to world pop? I don’t think there’s a world pop station or magazine, unfortunately, there are none--there should be.There is the internet, and YouTube has proven to be a driving force for world pop.Britain’s Got Talent made Susan Boyle the hottest act in the world, and she achieved that not through the record labels or the networks, but through grassroots sharing.Gangnam Style is another great world pop, and how that just took over became huge worldwide world pop phenomenon.So world pop as it suggests is a worldwide pop culture is something that can be shared by all of us and gives us a lot of common ground.So today, what’s my call of action? I’ve already proven multicultural exchange between the East and West, I think I have made that clear, but how? I think… you can all become pop singers, really, I think that’s the [x], unless that’s what you really want to.My call of action is this: build and protect that roommate relationship between the East and West.Value this relationship and take ownership of it.Don’t come to Oxford as an exchange student from Taiwan and only hang out with other Chinese students.Why would you do that? You could do that in [x] or Nanjing or wherever you came from.Don’t buy into the headlines or the stereotypes or in the hypernationalism.Think for yourselves, and this goes for the East and the West, both.Get to know one another and think for yourselves and don’t believe the hype.For just a moment, if we could just disregard the governments and what the media are saying, just for the sake of the argument, with our own tools of critical thinking, can we build relationships that actually see one another as individual human beings and not faces or members of a particular ethnicity or nationality? Of course we can do that.And that’s the goal and dream, I think of the romantic artists and the musicians, I think it’s always been there.And that’s what I reach for, and that makes music so powerful and so true, that breaks down instantly and disintegrates all the artificial barriers that we create between each other, government, nationality, black, brown, yellow, white, whatever colour you are, and shows each other our hearts, our fears, our hopes, our dreams, and it turns out in end that the East isn’t that far after all, and the west, well the west, ain’t so white.And through understanding each other’s popular cultures, we gain insight into each other’s heart and true selves.And for those of you who are just beginning that journey, the West and East, I want to invite you today on this amazing journey with me, and I, as an experienced traveller on this road, on this West and East road, I’ve prepared a mixtape for all of you today, of ten songs that I love.There, that’s a C-pop mixtape that you can check out.I was gonna bring you all CDs but my publicist reminded me lovingly that that would be illegal, that as a professional recording artist, I shouldn’t do that.But I still think that it works out nicely because you get to see the music videos as well on a lot of these songs.These ten songs are songs that I love and ten different Chinese artists to start you off on getting to know and love Chinese pop and I think these guys are awesome.I just want to wrap up by saying that being here on the Oxford campus really makes me nostalgic for my days at Williams.And when I look back on those four years, some of my fondest memories are spending time with my roommates Stephan Papiano and Jason Price.In fact Jason is here in the audience today, and made a special trip from London just to see me.And I suppose in the beginning we were strangers, we didn’t know much about each other, and sometimes we did compete for the shower and there were times we did intrude on each other's privacy, but I’ve always loved listening to Stephan’s stories about growing up in a Greek family and his opinions about what Greek food really was.Or Jason’s stories, about wanting to make violins and to live in Cremona, Italy like Antonio Stradivari and he did do that, and I will never forget many years later when I played a Jason Price handmade violin for the first time, and how that felt.They were always attentive and respectful when I told them what it was like for me growing up in a Chinese household with strict parents who always made me study.So we shared stories, but the strongest bonds between us were formed just sitting around and listening to music together.And I really do see that as a model for East and West.So I really want to share Chinese music with you today because it’s the best way I know how to create a lasting friendship that transcends all barriers and allow us to know each other truly, authentically and just as we are.

第五篇：王力宏牛津大學(xué)演講中文譯稿

謝謝在座的各位，謝謝晚來(lái)的同學(xué)，也謝謝你們悄悄的進(jìn)來(lái)。

今天開始之前，我想要先為四川地震的災(zāi)民們以及波士頓馬拉松爆炸事件的受害者們默哀。讓我們用一分鐘時(shí)間，為他們祈福。

謝謝你們。

尊敬的各位牛津大學(xué)辯論會(huì)和牛津大學(xué)亞太學(xué)生會(huì)的同學(xué)們，萬(wàn)萬(wàn)想不到會(huì)以這樣的方式跟你們相聚。沒(méi)有吉他和二胡，沒(méi)有夸張的舞臺(tái)裝也沒(méi)有“火力全開”頭。不過(guò)上周確實(shí)在倫敦的O2體育館表演過(guò)了。不知道大家有沒(méi)有去看呢。但是，從各方面來(lái)說(shuō)，這些跟我們今天的話題都有密切的關(guān)聯(lián)。那就是-介紹華流音樂(lè)。

其實(shí)無(wú)論我喜不喜歡，我都被認(rèn)為在代表者華流音樂(lè)以及電影。那么今天，我就要來(lái)做一次“國(guó)情咨文”報(bào)告了。但是，這個(gè)“國(guó)”不是牛津，而是東西方的一個(gè)聯(lián)合體。我想跟你們聊一聊，我們?cè)趯⑷A語(yǔ)音樂(lè)引入西方社會(huì)方面所做的事情，無(wú)論是成就，還是不足。我都會(huì)坦誠(chéng)布公。同時(shí)，我也想借此機(jī)會(huì)給你們留下這樣一個(gè)印記：軟實(shí)力交流的重要性以及它同我們每個(gè)人的相關(guān)程度。軟實(shí)力這個(gè)詞我相信大家都不陌生。這個(gè)概念是由Rhodes Scholar 和牛津校友Joseph Nye 提出的。

被定義為一種“吸引”和“說(shuō)服”的能力。

Shashi Tharoor 在最近的一次TED演講中把它定義為“一種文化讓其他文化在聽了他動(dòng)人的故事之后受到影響并愛(ài)上這種文化”的能力。我很喜歡這個(gè)定義。但是我想用貼近你們?cè)谧龃髮W(xué)生們的方式來(lái)解釋這個(gè)詞。在我看來(lái)，東方跟西方在某種程度上，像是兩個(gè)大一剛?cè)雽W(xué)的新生舍友。

兩個(gè)幾乎陌生的人，突然來(lái)到同一個(gè)屋檐下，其中一個(gè)總是怕另一個(gè)會(huì)跟他搶洗澡的時(shí)間，或者在他想要學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候大開趴體。

這種關(guān)系很可能就變成跟地獄一樣了，不是么？“我的室友是極品”的故事大家都講得出來(lái)。這些事我都有耳聞。還有我知道牛津這兒的很多同學(xué)都一人一間的對(duì)吧，但是，在我剛上威廉姆斯學(xué)院的時(shí)候，我并不幸運(yùn)，而且人身安全堪憂。哇，你還真的是我們學(xué)校的！好吧，好棒！

我當(dāng)時(shí)就有一個(gè)這樣的極品舍友，讓我們暫且叫他frank。這個(gè)frank 就是那種好像除了抽大麻沒(méi)有別的愛(ài)好的人。而且他每天都抽。

他床底下有一個(gè)兩英尺長(zhǎng)的煙斗，持續(xù)不斷的得點(diǎn)著。給在做講中文的同學(xué)們形容下，就是他每天會(huì)對(duì)著那個(gè)煙斗火力全開

好吧。我可能在這點(diǎn)上算是跟Bill Clinton 相反吧。Bill Clinton 是那種“我試過(guò)大麻，但我不上癮。”我不抽大麻，但是我每天都在吸啊吸，而且還是二手的。奇怪的是，只要我在我們的臥室里，我最后都會(huì)稀里糊涂地上課遲到。我也不知道怎么回事。我當(dāng)時(shí)就是那副吸了大麻的樣子，嘿，已經(jīng)十點(diǎn)了嗎？

你們中有多少人有過(guò)frank那樣的舍友呢？或者，你們也像他一樣。所以有一個(gè)室友可能是一場(chǎng)災(zāi)難的開始。但也可能會(huì)釀造一段非凡的友誼。Frank第二年就輟學(xué)了。于是我換了兩個(gè)新的舍友，Stefan 和 Jason。如今，我們?nèi)齻€(gè)是鐵哥們。回過(guò)頭來(lái)看我的那個(gè)類比，我們東方和西方的舍友。是應(yīng)該成為frank那樣的存在，還是想像Stefan 和 Jason那樣呢？我認(rèn)為在當(dāng)時(shí)當(dāng)下，在2013，我們應(yīng)該努力成為后者。我們應(yīng)該，我是說(shuō)，我想在這一目標(biāo)上我們是可以達(dá)成共識(shí)的，對(duì)吧？

那么，回過(guò)頭來(lái)，正視我們?cè)诂F(xiàn)實(shí)中的處境。看看最近的新聞?lì)^條：《外交政策》雜志上的，“中國(guó)的受害者情節(jié)：為何中國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人如此猜忌美國(guó)”或者法

新社的財(cái)經(jīng)雜志《彭博商業(yè)周刊》上說(shuō)，“沒(méi)錯(cuò)，中國(guó)軍隊(duì)正在測(cè)探你。”這個(gè)特別逗，我來(lái)給你們展示一下這封面。是的，特別恐慌有木有！方向那對(duì)的吧，嗯，對(duì)的。當(dāng)今對(duì)于中國(guó)有太多的負(fù)面東西。恐華情緒很嚴(yán)重。我覺(jué)得這種現(xiàn)象不僅是一種誤傳同時(shí)也是一種誤導(dǎo)。這是很可怕的，超級(jí)可怕。

那么，中國(guó)人又是如何看待西方的呢？我們對(duì)西方人的稱呼五花八門。大家熟知的有：香港人叫他們“鬼佬”，字面上就是“老妖”。大陸人叫他們老外，字面上就是“蠻夷”。還有臺(tái)灣人叫他們“紅毛”。還真說(shuō)不完呢。這看上去像是能發(fā)展成一段最佳友誼的舍友關(guān)系嗎？我認(rèn)為我們得治治病。隨著中國(guó)實(shí)力不斷強(qiáng)大，看清楚應(yīng)該相信什么這一點(diǎn)空前重要。因?yàn)椋瑲w根結(jié)底，這就是高等教育的目的。

這就是我們坐在這里的原因：有能力獨(dú)立思考，自主選擇。中國(guó)當(dāng)然不能通過(guò)那些新聞?lì)^條來(lái)定義。也不只是所謂的特殊政策下快速增長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)濟(jì)。中國(guó)不僅僅是一個(gè)世界工廠，也不僅僅是未來(lái)超級(jí)大國(guó)。中國(guó)的意義價(jià)值遠(yuǎn)大于此。一個(gè)擁有十幾億人口，豐富悠久的歷史文化與傳奇故事的民族。作為中西兩種文化的共同產(chǎn)物，我特別想要幫忙在兩種文化之間培養(yǎng)起一種互相的理解，建立起一種很美好的情誼。

但凡事都有兩面，所以我認(rèn)為這背后蘊(yùn)含著一個(gè)亟待講述的愛(ài)情故事。我說(shuō)“愛(ài)情故事”不完全在說(shuō)笑。因?yàn)槲蚁嘈牛@些關(guān)于愛(ài)的故事能夠拯救我們，把我們凝聚在一起。我今天講的主題就是，通過(guò)流行文化修復(fù)東西方世界的關(guān)系。好宏偉的計(jì)劃有木有啊！我會(huì)想辦法講明白的。

聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)潘基文說(shuō)過(guò)，在音樂(lè)的世界里，溝通時(shí)無(wú)需語(yǔ)言的。這就是音樂(lè)的力量。這就是人心的力量。通過(guò)發(fā)揚(yáng)藝術(shù)，我們才能夠更好的了解其他民族的文明與文化。在這個(gè)動(dòng)蕩不安，人與人之間不甚寬容的年代，我們需要利用音樂(lè)的力量來(lái)更好的了解彼此。聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)認(rèn)為我們需要更多的音樂(lè)。這一點(diǎn)我很贊同。音樂(lè)和藝術(shù)一直在我的生命中占據(jù)著很重要的地位。音樂(lè)和藝術(shù)的力量能夠幫助建立人與人之間的關(guān)系，用包容，友誼和愛(ài)來(lái)驅(qū)逐因?yàn)闊o(wú)知的仇恨而產(chǎn)生的恐懼。在不同文化之間推廣音樂(lè)這一點(diǎn)上，我自己的童年時(shí)期的經(jīng)歷是一個(gè)最好的例證。

我在紐約的羅切斯特長(zhǎng)大，幾乎不會(huì)說(shuō)中文。我連“臺(tái)灣”和“泰國(guó)”這兩個(gè)詞都分不清楚。那是真的！我那時(shí)是個(gè)地地道道的美國(guó)人。直到我上了三年級(jí)，有一天在操場(chǎng)上，不可避免的事情終于發(fā)生了。因?yàn)橹袊?guó)人的血統(tǒng)，我第一次被人嘲笑了。當(dāng)然一起玩的小孩都會(huì)互相戲弄開玩笑，但這次絕對(duì)不同。這點(diǎn)當(dāng)時(shí)我立馬就感覺(jué)到了。我們暫且管那個(gè)孩子叫Bryan M吧。它開始嘲笑我說(shuō)，中國(guó)人，日本人，臟膝蓋，快來(lái)看。（英文還押韻）你們居然還笑，我太受傷了！好吧，我只是開個(gè)玩笑。我依然能夠記得我當(dāng)時(shí)的感覺(jué)。我感覺(jué)特別丟臉，特別尷尬。

但是我當(dāng)時(shí)跟著所有其他人一直在笑。年幼的我并不知道該怎么辦。當(dāng)時(shí)感覺(jué)好像靈魂出竅一樣。好像我能夠和操場(chǎng)上其他美國(guó)孩子一起嘲笑中國(guó)人，我就是他們當(dāng)中一員了。這種想法可取嗎？當(dāng)然不可取，而且是大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)。

那是我第一次感受到一件殘酷而現(xiàn)實(shí)的事實(shí)。我屬于一個(gè)少數(shù)群體，但那絕不是最后一次。在那個(gè)時(shí)代的羅切斯特，亞洲人口特別少，幾乎之占當(dāng)?shù)厝丝诘陌俜种弧?/p>

我當(dāng)時(shí)心里很亂，我很想把bryan 打一頓。他讓我陷入那種窘境，因此我也要讓他難過(guò)。但是他身材比我壯，出手也比我快。如果和他打架，我一定會(huì)被揍

得更慘。這一點(diǎn)我們都知道。所以我就忍了下來(lái)。我從來(lái)沒(méi)有告訴過(guò)別人。也沒(méi)發(fā)泄什么感受。一直自己忍著，想讓他們爛在心底就好了。后來(lái)慢慢地，這些感受在音樂(lè)里竟然十分巧妙地把我治愈了。我那個(gè)時(shí)候?qū)π√崆伲亩荚絹?lái)越得心應(yīng)手，當(dāng)然不是巧合。我漸漸發(fā)現(xiàn)，當(dāng)我演奏或者唱歌的時(shí)候，其他孩子便會(huì)忘記我的種族或我的膚色。而真正接受我，了解真正的我，哪怕只是一小會(huì)。每當(dāng)這個(gè)時(shí)候，他們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，我跟他們都是一樣的人。我也對(duì)世界充滿感性的好奇和想象，我也需要愛(ài)。

到了六年級(jí)的時(shí)候，猜猜誰(shuí)拉我加入他的樂(lè)隊(duì)當(dāng)鼓手？對(duì)，就是Bryan，我答應(yīng)了。于是Bryan跟我一起，組成了我們小學(xué)的搖滾樂(lè)隊(duì)：涅槃樂(lè)隊(duì)。是真的我沒(méi)開玩笑。我們的樂(lè)隊(duì)在科特柯本的涅槃樂(lè)隊(duì)之前就有了。所以后來(lái)涅槃樂(lè)隊(duì)出道的時(shí)候，我跟Bryan還嚷嚷，嘿，他盜用我們的名字！所以在那么小的時(shí)候，我就發(fā)現(xiàn)了音樂(lè)的迷人之處。當(dāng)然這迷人之處也是我至今熱愛(ài)音樂(lè)的原因之一。那就是，音樂(lè)能打破人與人之間的隔閡，能讓我們那么快就看到彼此的相似點(diǎn)，而不是那些不同之處。后來(lái)上了高中，我學(xué)到了更多，音樂(lè)不僅僅能夠溝通彼此，就像我跟Bryan通過(guò)音樂(lè)結(jié)緣一樣。它同時(shí)也是一股強(qiáng)大的影響他人，激勵(lì)他人的力量。

Sam Wayne是我們學(xué)校的門衛(wèi)。他是越南僑民。幾乎從來(lái)不說(shuō)英語(yǔ)。Sam在我們學(xué)校做了二十幾年的清潔工，擦地板，掃廁所。卻從來(lái)沒(méi)跟學(xué)生們說(shuō)過(guò)話。學(xué)生們也從不跟他說(shuō)話。但是一天，我們學(xué)校一年一度的音樂(lè)節(jié)前夕，sam找到我，手里拿著一封信。我嚇壞了，心里琢磨，門衛(wèi)sam找我會(huì)有什么事？于是他遞給了我那封我至今保存的信。一看就是用顫抖的手寫下的潦草字跡。全都是大寫字母，信上寫著，我在這個(gè)學(xué)校當(dāng)了那么多年門衛(wèi)，你是我見過(guò)的第一個(gè)擔(dān)綱主唱的亞洲男孩。我今晚要帶我六歲的女兒來(lái)看你的演出。因?yàn)槲蚁胍吹剑覀儊喼奕艘部梢詭Ыo人好多正能量。我真的被那封信震驚了。十五歲的我當(dāng)時(shí)就驚呆了。我第一次意識(shí)到，原來(lái)音樂(lè)如此重要。

在Bryan那兒，他讓兩個(gè)本來(lái)是敵人的孩子成為了朋友，然而在sam這里，音樂(lè)的意義超過(guò)了個(gè)體的范疇，達(dá)到了一個(gè)更好的層次。音樂(lè)以我想不到的方式影響到我甚至完全不認(rèn)識(shí)的人。我從頭至尾對(duì)門衛(wèi)sam的感激是無(wú)法用語(yǔ)言來(lái)形容的。他真的算是幫助我發(fā)掘人生目標(biāo)的人之一。我從來(lái)不知道我的一個(gè)小小的行為，能夠?qū)@樣一位甚至從來(lái)不說(shuō)英文的越南僑民產(chǎn)生如此大的影響。流行文化，音樂(lè)以及任何一種講述故事的方式包括電影，電視劇，他們都是如此的重要，連接著我們。比如Bryan和我，又真的在影響著我們，激勵(lì)著我們。回過(guò)頭來(lái)再看看這個(gè)東西方的聯(lián)合體，是存在一種軟實(shí)力偏向的。東方和西方這兩個(gè)“舍友”之間的軟實(shí)力交流會(huì)是什么樣子的呢？有沒(méi)有在中國(guó)很紅的英文歌呢？當(dāng)然有。英文電影呢？那就太多了。多到中國(guó)不得不限制好萊塢電影的引入，來(lái)給本土電影制造些成功的機(jī)會(huì)。那么反過(guò)來(lái)，又在西方很紅的華語(yǔ)歌曲嗎？觀眾：江南style！王：哈哈，沒(méi)錯(cuò)，還有電影。比如臥虎藏龍，那也是十三年前的事了。我覺(jué)得這當(dāng)中有一種不平衡存在。我認(rèn)為這是一種軟實(shí)力赤字，就這么叫吧。當(dāng)我們放眼這個(gè)方向的時(shí)候，也就是說(shuō)，西方對(duì)東方的影響遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于東方對(duì)西方的。原諒我這里把東方和西方這兩個(gè)詞用的這么隨意。因?yàn)檫@比說(shuō)，以英語(yǔ)為第一語(yǔ)言的國(guó)家，講中文或講粵語(yǔ)的地區(qū)，這樣的話方便點(diǎn)。我在使用一種概況化的表達(dá)方式。希望你們能理解。

這種在流行文化影響方面的不平衡其實(shí)是個(gè)很有趣的問(wèn)題。試想在任何一段健康的關(guān)系中，無(wú)論是友誼還是婚姻，雙方彼此努力去了解對(duì)方都再重要不過(guò)了，對(duì)嗎？ 這種軟實(shí)力交換需要一種平衡。

那么如何做到這一點(diǎn)呢？作為中國(guó)流行文化大使，我必須問(wèn)自己這樣一個(gè)問(wèn)題，為什么會(huì)存在這種軟實(shí)力赤字？是因?yàn)槿A語(yǔ)音樂(lè)真的很爛嗎?求你們了別回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題。我看得出你們當(dāng)中肯定有人在嘀咕：別發(fā)牢騷了！寫首勁歌吧！鳥叔不就做到了嗎？事實(shí)上這背后是有點(diǎn)道理的。一種說(shuō)法是，我們所創(chuàng)作的內(nèi)容，沒(méi)有足夠的國(guó)際競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。為什么就沒(méi)有呢？那么，我們以韓流音樂(lè)為例。韓國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)是以出口為導(dǎo)向的。他們的眼光是面向世界的。事實(shí)上他們也必須面向世界。而華語(yǔ)流行音樂(lè)，僅憑借在中國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)發(fā)展以及在華語(yǔ)國(guó)家和地區(qū)舉辦巡演，就能夠堅(jiān)挺下去。而中國(guó)，正是由于是一個(gè)泱泱大國(guó)，市場(chǎng)潛力巨大，又有著160萬(wàn)個(gè)人口超過(guò)百萬(wàn)的城市，華語(yǔ)音樂(lè)確實(shí)有內(nèi)化和固步自封的傾向。

所以華語(yǔ)流行音樂(lè)缺乏在國(guó)際市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的敏感性這一觀點(diǎn)是成立的。不過(guò)我認(rèn)為這一議題的另一方面，更為有趣，更發(fā)人深省也更為真實(shí)。那就是西方聽眾并不熟悉華語(yǔ)音樂(lè)。因此并不懂得如何去欣賞華語(yǔ)音樂(lè)。哦好傷人啊！

我之所以認(rèn)為這種論調(diào)其實(shí)站得住腳，是因?yàn)槲冶救饲∏捎羞^(guò)這般經(jīng)歷。因此我對(duì)“西方人如何學(xué)著欣賞華語(yǔ)流行音樂(lè)”這個(gè)問(wèn)題還是要一定發(fā)言權(quán)的。在17歲之前，我是一個(gè)身處美國(guó)的亞洲小孩。17歲之后，我變成了一個(gè)身處亞洲的美國(guó)孩子。情況完全顛倒了過(guò)來(lái)。

以前我是聽著Beatie Boyz, Led Zeppelin，槍花長(zhǎng)大的。但是到了臺(tái)灣之后，我常邊聽音樂(lè)邊想，這音樂(lè)怎么一點(diǎn)節(jié)奏感沒(méi)有！華麗的吉他獨(dú)奏在哪里！所以，作為一個(gè)在亞洲的美國(guó)孩子，我剛開始接觸到華語(yǔ)音樂(lè)的時(shí)候心里的想法是，這音樂(lè)太遜了，我不喜歡。我覺(jué)得這些歌都太不給力了。制作價(jià)值太低。這些歌手就是沒(méi)有Axl Rose(槍花主唱)或者M(jìn)ariah Carey 那么會(huì)飆高音。直到有一天，我聽了人生中第一場(chǎng)華流演唱會(huì)。是庾澄慶，哈林。在臺(tái)北音樂(lè)中心的那場(chǎng)。當(dāng)他表演時(shí)，我看到臺(tái)下觀眾臉上的表情，眼神 和他們對(duì)音樂(lè)的那種熱烈響應(yīng)。我總算知道問(wèn)題出在哪里了。并不是華語(yǔ)音樂(lè)缺少什么，而是我不能夠正確的聆聽和欣賞它。看到臺(tái)下的人群跟著哈林一起唱并且完全沉浸在他的音樂(lè)里的時(shí)候，我頓悟到，我起初沒(méi)有很好的理解。我現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該開始學(xué)著如何領(lǐng)悟它們。如何用“當(dāng)?shù)氐摹倍淙ヂ犚魳?lè)。我開始解構(gòu)，分析，是什么讓華語(yǔ)聽眾對(duì)某種旋律，歌曲的結(jié)構(gòu)或者歌詞產(chǎn)生共鳴。在過(guò)去二十年我一直在做這樣的工作。真是路漫漫，至今我還在學(xué)習(xí)中。

而從某刻開始，我不僅能欣賞華語(yǔ)音樂(lè)了，而且能夠開始做出自己的貢獻(xiàn)。開始嘗試和創(chuàng)造自己的風(fēng)格。作為外觀者，每個(gè)人都會(huì)這樣。如果僅從自己的角度出發(fā)看問(wèn)題，你總是會(huì)覺(jué)得外面的世界很奇怪。你總會(huì)覺(jué)得別人是異類。他們是怎么了？怎么會(huì)聽這些東西？而我想說(shuō)的是，只要你跨出去一步，就會(huì)有收獲。并且我用自己的親身經(jīng)歷證明，這是能夠做到了。作為華語(yǔ)音樂(lè)大使，我一直在努力讓人們開放接受，那些也許最初聽上去并不喜歡的音樂(lè)，那么我們還能做些什么，來(lái)減少這種流行文化中的不平衡呢？

比如說(shuō)，為牛津亞太學(xué)生會(huì)做演講，或者在中國(guó)以外的地方開演唱會(huì)？但說(shuō)真的，其實(shí)我覺(jué)得這種不平衡的趨勢(shì)，正在開始發(fā)生微妙的，緩慢的，小心的，謹(jǐn)慎的變化。你們能夠看到目前中國(guó)有很多跨文化的交流，外商漸漸視中國(guó)為寶地，近年來(lái)不乏很多跨國(guó)公司和合作成果，鋼鐵俠3，無(wú)數(shù)部變形金剛，生化危機(jī)……真的已經(jīng)形成一種世界流行文化了。這正是我期待看到的，也是我最近專注的內(nèi)容。之前我們有日流，韓流，華流，現(xiàn)在這種世界流正在慢慢興起。這就是世界流，我覺(jué)得。。是的，我很喜歡這么個(gè)說(shuō)法，就是世界流并不是世界音樂(lè)，不是像。。HMV之前有一個(gè)類別叫世界音樂(lè)。有點(diǎn)像音樂(lè)學(xué)院的“民族音樂(lè)學(xué)”課程的分類方式。

但世界流不是這樣的，這個(gè)概念打破了陳規(guī)舊俗，沖開了藝術(shù)上那些一直阻礙在我們之間的界限。這就像一個(gè)大熔爐，一個(gè)馬賽克拼圖。如果我們仔細(xì)看，是可以領(lǐng)略到每種文化的不同風(fēng)格和特色的。那么我們通過(guò)什么途徑可以聽到“世界流”音樂(lè)呢？并不存在這樣一本世界流音樂(lè)雜志或一個(gè)平臺(tái)，很不幸，當(dāng)然這些是應(yīng)該有的。

不過(guò)還好，我們有互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，比如油管就是一個(gè)推廣世界流音樂(lè)的中堅(jiān)力量。蘇珊大媽是通過(guò)英國(guó)達(dá)人秀走紅的，她的成功不是通過(guò)唱片公司或者音樂(lè)圈的網(wǎng)絡(luò)，而是走的草根路線。江南style也是一個(gè)很棒的范例，能成為一種掀起全球狂潮的文化現(xiàn)象。所以世界流，意味著一種世界范圍內(nèi)的流行文化，能讓全人類共享，給我們提供了一個(gè)共通點(diǎn)。

于是今天，我的號(hào)召是什么呢？我想要幫助推進(jìn)東西方之間的多元文化交流。這一點(diǎn)我想我已經(jīng)表達(dá)的很清楚了，但是如何做到呢？我覺(jué)著吧，你們都可以出道嘛，這樣就好了。我開個(gè)玩笑。不過(guò)如果成為歌手真的是你想做的事情那就另當(dāng)別論了。我在此，號(hào)召各位，請(qǐng)務(wù)必在東方與西方橫亙的隔閡間，建立一種室友般的情誼。并且能盡所能及的保護(hù)這份情誼，珍惜它，擁有它。千萬(wàn)不要千里迢迢從臺(tái)灣跑來(lái)牛津大學(xué)當(dāng)交換生還一天到晚只和中國(guó)學(xué)生聚一塊。你說(shuō)你這是干嘛對(duì)吧？這些事你在武漢，在南京，在老家的時(shí)候都能做對(duì)吧。

那些標(biāo)題黨，那些陳詞濫調(diào)，那些超民族主義，別買他們的賬。你應(yīng)當(dāng)學(xué)會(huì)自己判斷，這個(gè)原則同樣適用于研究東西方。把一件件來(lái)龍去脈搞清楚，獨(dú)立思考，對(duì)那些天花亂墜的東西不要偏聽則信。要是哪一天，你能做到漠視政府的鼓吹，忽視媒體的通稿，據(jù)理力爭(zhēng)只為真理，動(dòng)用“批判思維”的武器，是不是就能建立起那份情誼了呢？到那時(shí)，每個(gè)人都是獨(dú)立的個(gè)體，個(gè)人不再是隸屬于某個(gè)種族或是國(guó)家的無(wú)臉人？我們當(dāng)然能做到。這是目標(biāo)，也是理想。這是浪漫藝術(shù)家和音樂(lè)人亙古不變的初心。也是我想要極力撮成的一種情誼。正因如此，音樂(lè)和藝術(shù)的力量才這樣強(qiáng)大，這樣真切。正是這些力量讓橫亙期間的壁壘土崩瓦解。那些我們?cè)诒舜酥g人為制造的隔閡，政府或者國(guó)籍，膚色。黑色，棕色，黃色和白色，無(wú)論哪一種膚色。也是這些力量讓我們能夠單程我們的內(nèi)心，我們的恐懼，我們的希望，我們的夢(mèng)想。最終我們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，“遠(yuǎn)東”也并沒(méi)有那么遙遠(yuǎn)。西方也并非都是蠻荒一片。

通過(guò)了解彼此的流行文化，探到彼此的內(nèi)心，觸碰彼此的靈魂。如果你們正想踏上這條貫通東西的征途，我誠(chéng)摯的邀請(qǐng)你們和我一起加入這場(chǎng)奇幻之旅。作為在這條聯(lián)通東西方之間的路上還算有點(diǎn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人，我為你們準(zhǔn)備了一只合集的卡帶，里面收錄了十首我愛(ài)的華語(yǔ)流行音樂(lè)。看，你們感受一下。本來(lái)今天我是給你們每人準(zhǔn)備了CD的，但是我的團(tuán)隊(duì)好心提醒我說(shuō)，這么做是不合法的。作為專業(yè)的專輯制作人，我可不能做這種事。不過(guò)這里的鏈接還是很好用的，因?yàn)檫@樣你們還能看到這些歌曲相應(yīng)的MV。

這10首我最愛(ài)的歌曲，來(lái)自不同的很棒的中國(guó)音樂(lè)人。我們就從他們開始了解入手中國(guó)的流行音樂(lè)吧！我覺(jué)得這些音樂(lè)人都很棒，希望你們也能喜歡。最后的最后，我只想說(shuō)，現(xiàn)在置身于牛津大學(xué)校園，真的讓我不由的回憶起我在威廉姆斯大學(xué)的那段時(shí)光。當(dāng)我回首那四年，我發(fā)現(xiàn)最值得回憶的，就是于室友Stephan Papiano和Jason Price共處的時(shí)光了。事實(shí)上呢，Jason就在觀眾席中。

他專程從倫敦趕來(lái)看我。我在想，剛開始大家還是陌生人，我們對(duì)彼此不了解，有時(shí)候我們還會(huì)搶淋浴，甚至互相侵犯別人的隱私。但是我一直喜歡聽Stephen講他在一個(gè)希臘家庭里成長(zhǎng)的故事。還有他眼里原汁原味的希臘菜應(yīng)該長(zhǎng)什么樣子。或是Jason的故事，說(shuō)他渴望以做小提琴為生，生活在意大利的克雷默那，像安東尼奧特拉迪瓦那樣，而他的夢(mèng)想后來(lái)真的實(shí)現(xiàn)了。

多年之后，我都無(wú)法忘記，我第一次拉“Jason Price”手工制作的小提琴時(shí)的場(chǎng)景，還有當(dāng)時(shí)我內(nèi)心的觸動(dòng)。他們也總是那樣聚精會(huì)神，十分尊重的傾聽我的成長(zhǎng)故事，如何在一個(gè)中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)家庭里長(zhǎng)大。我的父母很嚴(yán)格，一直逼我學(xué)習(xí)。我們會(huì)互相分享各自的故事但是我們之間的紐帶系的最牢的時(shí)候卻是當(dāng)我們單純的圍坐在一起聽音樂(lè)的時(shí)候，我真心覺(jué)得我們的例子，就是東西人互相理解并和諧共處的典范。因此，這就是為何我今天要與各位分享中國(guó)的音樂(lè)。因?yàn)閾?jù)我所知，這是最好的一種方式，讓友誼地久天長(zhǎng)。而這份友誼超越了所有的界限，讓我們真真切切的了解彼此，展現(xiàn)最真實(shí)的自己。

謝謝大家！
