中国话
有一种语言，它 很神秘，它蕴涵着一个民族上下几千年 悲喜交加的情感；

有一种语言，它很古老，古老到那刻在骨头上的文字里都找不到 它的起源；

有一种语言，它很丰富，阴阳上去中 回荡着 慷慨激昂 倾诉着 温宛 缠绵；

这，便是中国话，

一个古老的 东方神话！

中国话，

是如诗如画的表达，

“树索索而摇枝，马得得而驰骋”

——哪一种语言  

有 如此逼真的描摹？

“落霞与孤鹜齐飞，秋水 共长天一色”

——哪一种语言  

能说出如此图画般的美丽？

“春江潮水连海平，海上明月共潮生⋯⋯”

——哪一种语言 能有 如此动听的节律？

“我失骄阳君失柳，杨柳轻扬直上重霄九”

——哪一种语言

能一语译透你丰厚的含义？

中国话 是中国人

心灵深处的吐纳。

是屈原的长叹 ,项羽的啸吼

是李白的浪漫 ,杜甫的讥讽，

是“五四”前夜，

李大钊在拊掌欢呼

《庶民的胜利》，

是面对敌人的屠刀，

鲁迅在指斥《无声的中国》，

是迎着特务的枪弹，

闻一多拍案而起，弘扬正义！

是礼炮声中毛泽东庄严宣告：民族 站起！

那黄河的不羁和刚强，是中国话！

那长江的奔放和潇洒，是中国话！

那大山的雄武，高原的粗犷，是中国话！

那江南的温柔，水乡的秀雅，是中国话！

听，中国话正在通过我的喉头在联合国的讲台上响起

–那么亲切，优美，

—那么有力，伟大！

中国话 你属于一个伟大的民族，

一个朝阳升腾的天地！

我爱你，我们的 中国话！！！

The Chinese Language
There is a language – it is very mysterious and contains the emotional ups and downs of a nation for thousands of years;

There is a language – it is so ancient that its origin cannot be found in the characters engraved in bones;

There is a language – it is very rich, resonating with generosity and passion, warmth and tenderness in the alternation of Yin and Yang;

This is the Chinese language.

An ancient oriental myth!

Chinese language

is an expression like poetry and painting.

‘The trees rustle and shake their branches, The horses gallop and run freely.’

–which language 

has such a vivid illustration?

“Rosy evening clouds and the lonely duck fly together; The autumn water shares the same colour with the sky.”

–which language can tell such picturesque beauty?

‘The spring tide of the river joins the sea, and the bright moon rises with the tide on the sea…’

–Which language can have such an enchanting rhythm?

“I’ve lost my sun, you’ve lost your willow, the willow lightly rises to the Ninth Heaven”

–what other language

Can translate the richness of your meaning in one word?

Chinese language is the breathing of the Chinese people’s soul.

It is the long sigh of Qu Yuan, the roar of Xiang Yu,

The romance of Li Bai, the irony of Du Fu.

It is Li Dazhao cheering and applauding
“The Victory of the Common People” on the eve of May Fourth Movement,

It is Lu Xun criticizing “The Silent China” in the face of enemy’s butcher’s knife,

It is Wen Yiduo rising up and promoting justice in the face of bullets from secret agents,

It is Mao Zedong solemnly declaring “The Chinese nation has stood up!” amidst the sound of salute.

The recklessness and fortitude of the Yellow River is Chinese language!

The unrestrained and boldness of the Yangtze River is Chinese language!

The magnificence of the mountains, the ruggedness of the plateau, is Chinese language!

The gentleness of the south of the Yangtze River, the elegance of the water town, is Chinese language!

Listen, the Chinese language is echoing through my voice on the podium of the United Nations

-So friendly, beautiful,

-So powerful, great!

Chinese language , you belong to a great nation, a world where the sun rises!

I love you, our Chinese language!
