Unit 2 Period Ⅰ Welcome to the unit & Reading—Comprehending（word教参）-【优化探究】2021-2022学年新教材高中英语选择性必修第一册配套教参（译林版）

无论我们生活在世界的哪个角落，语言都是我们日常生活的一部分。同样，音乐也是许多人生活的一部分。文章主要从语言和音乐的文字系统、因文化而异和可以传达感情三个方面来说明了音乐和语言的相似之处。 Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people's lives. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities. ◆Both language and music have a writing system. In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. So just as you read English, you can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. I can read or hear the ideas of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting. ◆Both vary with culture. You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation. ◆Both share feelings. You can know that I am angry through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that feeling. When you feel happy, you may want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness, while you probably want to listen to sad music when you are feeling down. I think we have all used music to express our feelings.
