THE VIRTUAL CHOIR

虚拟合唱团

Imagine having theopportunityto sing together withhundreds ofother people while you are at home alone. You can do this in a virtual choir. Virtual choir members record themselves while they perform alone on video. These videos are uploadedonto the Internet, and then they are put together into one video that you can see online—a virtual choir. Anyone cantake part ina virtual choir from anywhere—all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection. You do not even need astudio. A virtual choir helps connectordinarypeople together. Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music. Many others do nothave the chance tojoin a local choir. A virtual choirenablesthem to add their voices to those of other individuals and become part of the global community. It hasprovedto be a positive influence on the lives of many people. As one virtual choir member said, “Music helps me to ... forget my problems. With music, I become someone else.”

The virtual choir was the idea ofaward-winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre. Born in the USA on 2 January 1970, Whitacre began studying music at the University of Nevada in 1988. He fell in love with Mozart’s classical music when he sang for the university choir. Moved by this music, he said, “It was like seeing color for the first time.” Hegraduated fromuniversity in 1995, and thenreceived a master’s degree inmusical composition from the Juilliard School in New York in 1997. Over the next 10 years, Whitacre’soriginalcompositions began to become quite popular among choirs and singers. Thisled tothe creation of the virtual choir.

虚拟合唱团是屡获殊荣的作曲家兼指挥家埃里克·惠塔克的创意。惠塔克于1970年1月2日出生在美国，1988年开始在内华达大学学习音乐。当他为大学合唱团唱歌时，他爱上了莫扎特的古典音乐。他被这段音乐打动了，他说：“那种(兴奋的)感觉就如同第一次看见色彩一样。”他于1995年大学毕业，随后于1997年获得纽约茱莉亚音乐学院音乐创作硕士学位。在接下来的十多年里，惠塔克的原创作品在合唱团和歌手中开始流行。这促使了虚拟合唱团的创建。

In 20_, Whitacre received a video of a girl who was singing one of his works. Inspired, he asked his fans to make videos, which he then joined together into oneperformance. His first virtual choir, “Lux Aurumque”, had 185 singers from 12 different countries. It has received millions of views on the Internet. Since then, the virtual choir has become a worldwidephenomenon.Whitacre’s next effort was the Virtual Youth Choir for UNICEF, which was first seen onstageon 23 July 20_ in the UK.Altogether, 2,292 young people from 80 countries joined in to sing Whitacre’s song “What If”.

20_年，惠塔克收到了一个女孩在演唱他的作品的视频。受到启发，他让歌迷们制作视频，然后将视频合并到一个表演中。他的第一支虚拟合唱团《金色光芒》有来自12个不同国家的185位歌手。它在上收到数以万计的浏览量。从那时起，虚拟合唱团已成为一种全球现象。惠塔克的第二个壮举是打造联合国儿童基金会“虚拟青年合唱团”，该合唱团于20_年7月23日在英国首次亮相。总共有来自80个国家的2292名青年参与演唱惠塔克的歌曲《假如》。

The virtual choir is a wonderful way for people around the world to sing with one voice andthusmake the world a better place.

虚拟合唱团是让全国各地的人用同一个声音唱歌，从而使整个世界变得更美好的绝妙方式。

The song made me feel so much better thatfrom then onI began to listen to music all the time. John A. Logan said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it’s true. Music helped me recover.

你有没有过这样的经历：事物看起来一片漆黑，而你感到毫无希望？两年前，我得知我患了严重疾病，难以治愈。我的身体一直在疼痛，所以我以为我活不了多久了。我很害怕，我感到如此的孤独和沮丧。后来有一天，我不得不接受了两小时的治疗。医生让我放松，所以他让我听了一些音乐，其中一首歌是《快乐》。这首歌让我感觉好多了，从那时起，我开始一直听音乐。约翰·洛根说：“音乐是心灵的良药。”的确如此，音乐帮助我康复了。

Music gave me happiness. When I listened to music, it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind. Music gave me strength and brought me relief. It was the rock I leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times.Moreover,music gave me hope and a sense ofsatisfaction.It became my best friend. It spoke words of encouragement to the deepest part of mybeing.

音乐给了我幸福。当我听音乐时，我的精神像风中的风筝一样飞翔。音乐给了我力量，给我带来了解脱。它是我所依靠的岩石，它让我变得坚强，并度过了那些艰难的岁月。而且，音乐给了我希望和满足感。它成为了我最好的朋友。它让我的内心深受鼓舞。

Thank you!

谢谢！

STRONGER TOGETHER:

HOW WE HAVE BEEN CHANGED

BY THE INTERNET

我们一起更加强大：

Much has been written about the wonders of the World Wide Web. There are countless articles telling us how the Internet has made our lives moreconvenient. Weno longer have to wait in lineor carrycasharound when we go shopping. We can get the most updated information from largedatabases.We can downloadsoftware, documents, and images whenever we need them. But the Internet has done much more for people than simply make life more convenient. People’s lives have been changed by online communities and socialnetworks.

Jan Tchamani, an English teacher in Birmingham, UK, suddenly developed a serious illness and had to quit her job. At age 50, she found herselfout of workand stuck at home with only her computer tokeep her company.After a while, she discovered thatsurfingthe Internet could help her feel less lonely and bored. She could listen to music, watch films, play games, and explore the world. She also joined an online group where she could talk about her problems and get support and advice from others. She realised that one of the greatestbenefitsof the Internet was its ability to remove thedistancethat usually exists between people.

She was soinspiredby the people she met online that she decided to start an IT club to teach older people how to use computers and the Internet. She and her friends now organise events and collect money topay forprivate teachers. Many people have been helped by the club. A 59-year-old man learnt how toapply forwork online and found a great job.Now thathe works and cantake care ofhimself, his daughter has time to study at university. A 61-year-old woman who was living alone has started a small online company together with two friends. She no longer feels lonely, and her company has become quite successful.

Jan has startedtaking online classesto learn more about how to use the Internet to make society better. She believes that it is highly important to bridge the digital divide andmake surethat everyonehas access tothe Internet and knows how to use new technology. Her next goal is to start acharitywebsite toraise money forchildren in poor countries.

A DAY IN THE CLOUDS

云中的一天

The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp.Toour left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On theplainin front of us, we can justmake outa herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here—toobserveTibetan antelopes.

空气很稀薄，我们不得不在从营地出发的短途徒步旅行中休息几次。在我们的左边，白雪皑皑的山脉消失在云层中，看上去几乎触手可及。在我们面前的平原上，我们隐约看到一群体形优美的动物。这就是为什么我们在这里观察藏羚羊。

Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass. I’m struck bytheirbeauty.I’malsoreminded ofthedangerthey arein. They are being hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur.

藏羚羊生活在西藏、新疆和青海的平原上。看着它们在绿色的草地上缓慢移动。我被它们的美丽打动了。我还想起了它们所处的危险。因其珍贵的羊毛，它们正遭受非法猎杀。

My guide is Zhaxi, a village from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.”

我的导游是羌塘的一位村民扎西。他在羌塘国家级自然保护区工作。该保护区是西藏西北地区动植物的庇护所。对于扎西来说，这片土地是神圣的，保护野生动植物是一种生活方式。他说：“我们不是在拯救动物。其实我们是在拯救自己。”

The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters wereshootingantelopes tomakeprofits. Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.

上个世纪80年代和90年代对于藏羚羊来说是一个糟糕的时期。藏羚羊的数量下降了50％以上。猎人为了赚钱而射杀羚羊。随着新公路和铁路的修建，它们的栖息地变得越来越小。

In order tosave this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night tokeepthemsafe fromattacks.Bridges and gateswere added tolet the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.

为了使这个物种免于灭绝，_将其置于国家保护之下。扎西和其他志愿者昼夜守卫着羚羊，保护它们免受袭击。桥梁和大门的增设，让藏羚羊可以轻松移动，并使它们免受汽车和火车的伤害。

The measures were effective. The antelope population hasrecoveredand in June 20_, the Tibetan antelope wasremovedfrom the endangered species list. The government, however, does notintendto stop the protection programmes, since the threatsto the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.

这些措施是有效的。藏羚羊的数量已经恢复，20_年6月，藏羚羊从濒危物种名单中被剔除。但是，由于对藏羚羊的威胁尚未消失，政府并没有打算停止这些保护项目。

In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life.Only whenwe learn toexistinharmonywith naturecan westop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.

晚上，我喝着茶，看着星星。我想起了藏羚羊和扎西告诉我的。为了保护野生动物，我们已经做了很多工作，但是如果我们真的想拯救地球，就必须改变生活方式。只有学会与大自然和谐相处，我们才不会成为野生动植物和地球的威胁。
