Li Tao: Mike, have you seen Beijing Opera?

Mike, have you seen Beijing Opera?

Mike: Sure. Peking Opera is a symbol of China. I believe every foreigner will try to see one.

Of course I do. Beijing Opera is the symbol of China. I think every foreigner will try to see it.

Li Tao: Of course. What do you think of Beijing Opera?

That's true. What do you think of Beijing Opera?

Mike: Well, it's a recognized art, and it's also a different abstract art..

Hmm. It is an amazing art and abstract. Art that's a little hard to understand.

Li Tao: That's true. Beijing Opera combines music, drama, dance and acrobatics, as well as elaborate costumes and minimal props. Its traditions and customs can be traced back to12nd century.

This is exactly what you said. Beijing opera combines music, drama, dance and acrobatics. Its costumes are exquisite and there are few props. They are all made according to ancient traditions and customs.

Mike: Oh, I don't know! You are lucky to have such a good legacy.

Oh, I really didn't know that! You are lucky to have such a tradition.

Li Tao: Yes, we are. But there are not many fans of Beijing Opera. Many people are worried about its future.

Yes, we are very lucky. But there are not many people who like Beijing opera now. Many people are worried about the future of Beijing Opera.

Mike: This is a common problem in all classical arts. But I believe there will always be people who like it and pass it on to the next generation.

For classical art, this is a common problem. But I believe that there will always be people who like it and pass it on.

Li Tao: Me too. Listen, let's go to see Beijing Opera together sometime!

I believe that too. Hey, listen to me, let's go to see Beijing Opera sometime!

Mike: No problem.

No problem.

Susan: I went to see Beijing Opera last night. Well done!

I went to see Beijing Opera last night. Well done!

Lin Hong: Great. What play did you watch?

That's great. What program did you watch?

Susan: Hmm-stumped me. I don't remember the name. But this story is about a protected king who agreed to commit suicide.

Yeah.-I don't know. I don't remember the name. But this story is about a defeated king whose concubine committed suicide.

Lin Hong: It must be Farewell My Concubine.

That must be Farewell My Concubine.

Susan: That's it! This is really a touching story.

Yes! This story is very touching.

Lin Hong: It's amazing that you can understand Beijing opera.

You can understand Beijing opera. That's really something.

Susan: Thank you. Actually, I have English lines to show you the stage.

Thank you. In fact, there are English lines beside the stage (I can read them).

Lin Hong: Of course you need an interpreter. As a China person, I can't understand what they have been singing.

Of course you need an interpreter. As a China person, I sometimes don't understand what Beijing Opera is about.

Susan: That's for sure. Anyway, I don't need a translator to appreciate the beautiful facade and cost, as well as the wonderful action.

That's true. However, I can enjoy those beautiful faces, clothes and movements without translation.

Lin Hong: That's right.

Of course.

Gao Yifei: There will be a Peking Opera performance tonight. Let's go and see it together, shall we?

There is a Beijing opera tonight. Let's go and see it together, shall we?

Wang Ying: I'm afraid I don't understand.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

Gao Yifei: Never mind. It's a clutch fighting drama. Even if you don't know the lyrics, you can clearly understand it by watching the action.

It's okay. It's a martial arts drama. If you don't understand, you must understand.

Wang Ying: Are these actors famous?

Are actors famous?

Gao Yifei: I can't remember their names, but according to the report in the newspaper, they are all famous.

I can't name them. But according to the newspaper, those actors are quite famous.

Wang Ying: Can you get tickets?

Can I get a ticket?

Gao Yifei: No problem, I'm sure I can get it.

No problem. I'm sure I can buy it.

Wang Ying: Front row seats are the best. I have poor eyesight: if I sit in the back, I can't see clearly.

Preferably the front seat. My eyes are bad. I can't see clearly in the back.

Gao Yifei: Don't worry.

You can rest assured. Wang Ying: Well, when shall we start?

It's good. When do we start?

Gao Yifei: The opera starts at 7 pm: Let's leave at 6: 15.
