Hello everyone! We have a new friend in the English corner. This is Fiona.
Fiona, can you say hello to everyone?
Hi everyone, my name is Fiona!
Today in the English corner, we are going to be talking about music.
Specifically, we are going to be comparing a Chinese and American song.
Ugh, Potter....
Who did you choose to talk about today?
Umm, I would like to recommend a Chinese singer: Yu Wenwen.
Ti mian is a song that is representative of her style.
The title means keep your dignity.
The song is about how when two people break up, they need to do it peacefully.
We used to love each other so deeply, but not any more.
Nobody owes the other one anything.
We don't need to be regretful.
The situation might be painful, but don't struggle for too long.
You can just move on. That is life.
I appreciate the attitude of this singer. I believe that there will be someone right for you in the future.
Let those memories be in the past we need to look forward to the future.
Potter, that's great!
Fiona, do you have an American artist you want to talk about?
Yes, I do. Taylor Swift is one of my favorite singers.
She is very talented, but her love life is always full of twists and turns.
In most of her relationships, she usually broke up with her ex, leaving an unpleasant memory.
She wrote these experiences into her songs. It seems like every relationship is recorded in the form of song.
Listening to her songs, we can understand the conflict between her and her ex and understand her view of love.
Interesting, it seems like these two singers have opposing views on relationships.
On one hand, Yu Wenwen says that you shouldn't remember your break-ups.
But on the other hand, Taylor writes about all of her break-ups and performs them in her songs.
Look out for our next English Corner video.
