看完《无问西东》终于听懂那首歌

2018-01-24 英语环球 英语环球ChinaPlus

等待六年,由章子怡、黄晓明、王力宏等人主演的电影《无问西东》终于上映了。


Starring Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming and Leehom Wang, the film Forever Young hit screens on Jan 12, 2017.

这部影片展现了四代清华人与时代共振的故事:虽然他们生活在不同时代,面临不同的人生选择,但却表现出同样的书生意气、赤子之心。


The film tells stories of four generations of students from Tsinghua University, which was originally planned to mark the 100th anniversary of Tsinghua. 

电影《无问西东》热映,“清华大学”成为热门话题,西南联大、梅贻琦都是最近网络上出现的高频词。


不过,要谈知识分子的“风骨”二字,又何止梅校长一人?


你若是不信,就来听听这首歌,认识一下这个把万千网友唱哭的“学霸”合唱团。

一首《我爱你,中国》让小撒撒贝宁感动到热泪盈眶,表演者是一群来自清华大学上海校友会艺术团的白发老者。


A song, "I Love You China," performed by a group of elderly alumni of Tsinghua University, has gone viral online and touched the hearts of many people.

男校友:alumnus;名词复数 alumni


女校友:alumna;名词复数 alumnae


Alumni is a plural noun referring either to a group male graduates or to a group of both male and female graduates. 


一辈子只干一件事儿


在这群平均年龄超过72岁的清华大学校友中,人们看到了87岁的程不时——新中国第一代飞机设计师。

Cheng Bushi, born in 1930 in Hunan Province, was admitted by prestigious Tsinghua University in 1947. The young man was determined to design aircraft for his motherland after he saw "the Flying Tigers" battling the invading Japanese air force in Guilin, Guangxi.


Cheng attended a middle school in the city which served as an air base for the First American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the Chinese Air Force, nicknamed "the Flying Tiger 47 31447 47 14919 0 0 4210 0 0:00:07 0:00:03 0:00:04 4210s".

28-year-old Cheng Bushi (third from right) stood in front of a Shenyang J-11, the first jet independently developed and manufactured by China in 1958.


Being a first-generation aircraft professional in China, Cheng has devoted all his life to the country's airplane research and development. 

程不时与“运10”的合影


He was the Deputy Chief Designer of Y-10 aircraft, China's first home-developed commercial airliner, designed in the 1970s.  However, the Y-10 project was terminated in 1980s before reaching commercial viability.


2017年5月5日, 国产大型客机C919成功完成首飞,程不时在上海浦东机场亲眼见证了这一历史时刻。


 "We gained experience and built our own team from the Y-10 project, which eventually formed the powerful core we needed to build the C919," said Cheng Bushi.

在这个满是“学霸”的老年合唱团里,还有许多“有故事的人”,他们和程不时一样,都把最宝贵的青春年华默默奉献给了百废待兴的新中国。


主动要求到基层去


Liu Xila, a professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, graduated from Tsinghua University in 1968.

刘西拉,上海交大教授,1968年清华大学结构工程专业研究生毕业后,他主动选择到基层工作,在祖国的大西南一待就是13年,还做过水泥搬运工和砌砖工。


戈壁滩上的将军夫妻


Zhang Lixing graduated from Tsinghua University in 1965. The general worked at a remote nuclear test site in Xinjiang for decades after his graduation. 


张利兴少将,1965年毕业于清华大学化工系,从此投身中国核试验事业,在戈壁滩上奉献了自己的青春与智慧。

Zhu Fengrong, Zhang Lixing's wife, is also a general who worked at China's nuclear test site for decades.


张利兴的妻子朱凤蓉,同样是清华毕业生,同样献身国防事业,同样隐姓埋名在核试验基地工作多年,后来成为清华大学走出的女将军。


如今,这对将军夫妇都是清华大学上海校友会艺术团的团员。



作为合唱团团长,刘西拉在接受采访时曾经说过,团员们的共同特点不是“学霸”,而是“奉献”。


我们那个年代的人,亲历了祖国从贫弱到强盛的全过程,这种对祖国的热爱是发自肺腑的。


没有人要求留在大城市。如果要写留在上海之类的地方,提起笔来是很沉重的。

正是因为他们的无私奉献,今天的中国才能够昂首挺胸站在世界舞台上;他们的功绩,希望我们不会忘记。

你看过《无问西东》了吗,你最喜欢哪段故事,最喜欢谁的表演?
