Sample Sentences

我可没这种感觉，每个人的欣赏品味都不一样嘛。不过一些严肃的场合还是美声唱法更应景些，显得比较庄重。比方说，在两国商务合作的宴会上，《祝酒歌》要比《辣妹子》合适得多啊。
wǒ kě méi zhèzhǒng gǎnjué ，měi ge rén de xīnshǎng pǐnwèi dōu bù yīyàng ma 。bùguò yīxiē yánsù de chǎnghé háishì Měishēng chàngfǎ gèng yìngjǐng xiē ，xiǎnde bǐjiào zhuāngzhòng 。bǐfangshuō ，zài liǎngguó shāngwù hézuò de yànhuì shàng ，《Zhùjiǔgē 》yào bǐ 《Làmèizi 》héshì de duō a 。
I don't have that feeling at all. Every person's tastes are different. However, bel canto is a bit more suitable at serious events; it seems a bit more solemn.
