　　芭蕾─舞之女王

　　Since its first appearance in the 15th century in the courts of European royalty, ballet has become one of the most loved forms of dance. One of the most beloved ballets is “Swan Lake.” First performed in Russia in 1895, it continues to thrill audiences around the world today.

　　芭蕾自15世紀在歐洲皇室宮廷首次出現，已成為最受喜愛的一種舞蹈形式。最為人們喜愛的芭蕾舞劇是“天鵝湖”。“天鵝湖”於1895年在俄國首演，至今仍不斷牽動著全世界觀眾的心絃。

　　The word “ballet” itself is French, and comes from the Italian word ballo, meaning “a dance.” Ballet dancing, as we know it today, is a result of influences from many countries. Italy, France, Russia, England, and America have all contributed important elements to this style of dance.

　　“ballet”一詞是法語，源自義大利語“ballo”，意即“一種舞蹈”。今天我們所知道的芭蕾舞，是許多國家影響下的產物。義大利、法國、俄國，英國和美國，在許多方面都對這一舞蹈形式做出重要的貢獻。

　　Highly technical, ballet is always performed to music and often tells a story. Though learning this style of dance is a difficult process, the results on stage are magical. The graceful moves display the body in the most elegant and beautiful manner possible.

　　高超的芭蕾舞，它總是配合音樂演出，而且常常講述一個故事。雖然學習這種舞蹈形式是個艱苦的過程，然而舞臺上演出的效果卻魅力十足。優美的動作竭盡其優雅絕妙的姿態把體態之美展示出來。

　　：芭蕾夢 Ballet Dream

　　When I see the girls dance in the movie, I will be very jealous of their elegant temperament. I wish I am one of them, especially when my mother speaks highly of these dancing girls. Actually, my mother once had tried to send me to learn ballet, but I was too small and couldn’t enjoy the class. I always skipped the class and then went to play with my friends. Later my mother found the truth and she had gave up asking me to learn ballet. Now I feel regretful, if I insist, I could be the girl that let my parents be proud of. The lucky thing is that I have find the things I am interested in and I will not give up.

　　當我看到電影裡的女孩跳舞,我會很嫉妒他們的優雅氣質。我希望我是其中一員,特別是當我的母親很崇敬這些跳舞的女孩時。實際上,母親曾經試圖送我學習芭蕾,但是我太小了,不懂得享受這個課程。我總是曠課,然後去和我的朋友去玩。後來媽媽發現了真相,她放棄了讓我學習芭蕾。現在我後悔了,如果我堅持,我可以成為讓我的父母感到驕傲的女孩。幸運的是,我已經找到了我感興趣的事情,不會放棄。

　　：dancer’s left foot

　　The dancer’s left foot is elegantly wrapped in her ballet shoe, tied to the ankle with a silk ribbon. The shoeless right foot, however, looks horribly different. Bruises and scars occupy every inch of her toes. I can only imagine the untold hardship the dancer must have endured for the endless hours of practice to look so glamorous on the stage. Likewise, behind every seemingly stunning success, there can be failures, disappointments, and embarrassments. When the whole world is crazy for JK Rowling’s Harry Potter stories, rarely do people know it was after the books had been turned down 12 times by the publisher that they finally came out. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. However, when we admire others’ success, we should remember it is not from nowhere.

　　I have imagined the dancer to be my friend. I will, instead of telling her how awesome her dancing is, ask her to take good care of herself, for health is the real elegance of life.
