民间 mínjiān folk
唐人街 tángrén jiē Chinatown
舞龙 wǔlóng dragon dance
舞狮 wǔshī lion dance
快来快来，民间文艺表演要开始了。
kuài lái kuài lái ，mínjiān wényì biǎoyǎn yào kāishǐ le 。
Come here, come here. The folk art performance is about to start.
哇，真好玩。我在美国的唐人街经常能看到舞龙和舞狮，但从来没看到过这种表演。
wā ，zhēn hǎowán 。wǒ zài Měiguó de Tángrén jiē jīngcháng néng kàndào wǔlóng hé wǔshī ，dàn cónglái méi kàndào guo zhèzhǒng biǎoyǎn 。
Wow, so much fun. When I went to Chinatown in the U.S., I often saw dragon dancing and lion dancing, but I've never seen this kind of performance.
哈哈，今天保证让你大开眼界。你以前看到的大都是广东特色的，因为在唐人街广东人比较多。但中国地大物博，不同地方有不同特色的表演，民间文艺少说也有几百种。
hāhā ，jīntiān bǎozhèng ràng nǐ dàkāiyǎnjiè 。nǐ yǐqián kàndào de dà dōu shì Guǎngdōng tèsè de ，yīnwèi zài Tángrén jiē Guǎngdōng rén bǐjiào duō 。dàn Zhōngguó dìdàwùbó ，bùtóng dìfang yǒu bùtóng tèsè de biǎoyǎn ，mínjiān wényì shǎoshuō yě yǒu jǐ bǎi zhǒng 。
Haha. I guarantee today will broaden your horizons. The kind you saw before was mostly the Guangdong style. That's because there are a lot of people from Guangdong province in Chinatown. But China is a big place. Different places have different, particular styles of performance. There are hundreds of kinds of folk arts.
咦？这些人怎么这么高，是杂技演员吧。
yí ？zhèxiē rén zěnme zhème gāo ，shì zájìyǎnyuán ba 。
Huh? How are these people so tall? They're acrobats, no?
