It’s a lazy autumn day in Sydney’s exclusive Eastern Suburbs, yet there’s still a big turnout for the last of Shen Yun’s Australian shows, which aim to revive China’s ancient culture and heritage.
雪梨東部郊外ㄧ個慵懶的秋日，有ㄧ大群人等待神韻在澳洲的最後一場演出，演出的目標是要復興中國古老的文化與遺產。

[Liz Mackenzie, Drum Enthusiast]:
“There’s dance; there’s music; there’s the two individual singers: the baritone and the soprano…the beautiful pianist, who’s doing an incredible job. But the music, the fun – there’s humor there. The colors are incredible and the drums, of course. The drums are quite special.”
鼓樂的愛好者麗茲‧麥肯基說：「有舞蹈、有音樂、還有兩個個人的歌唱家：男中音及女高音…當然美麗的鋼琴家也表現的很優秀，而音樂很有趣，有其幽默，色彩真是不可思議，鼓的演出也很特別。」
Being no stranger to Chinese culture, she says Shen Yun encompasses ethnic diversity.
因為對中華文化並不陌生，她說神韻包含了種族的多樣性。
[Liz Mackenzie, Drum Enthusiast]:
“Within China there are many identities…you go to all the different areas; you’ve got the different dialects, the different colors. Like you go down to the south-west country[side]…there’s all those beautiful colors there. With the influence coming down from Tibet and the Himalayas – it’s really beautiful to witness.”
鼓樂的愛好者麗茲‧麥肯基說：「中國內部就有許多土著…你去不同的地區，就聽到不同的方言、看到不同的色彩，像你朝西南鄉間走…那裡就有美麗的色彩，有來自西藏及喜馬拉雅山的影響，看起還真是漂亮。
It also shows how individual pieces combine to create a masterpiece.
而且表現出獨特的部份，組合成ㄧ部傑作。
[Liz Mackenzie, Drum Enthusiast]:
“I appreciate the focus and the fluency that goes into producing such an amazing performance. There are a lot of individuals who are shining, but nonetheless they have to perform in flow with the group, so that was very impressive.”
鼓樂的愛好者麗茲‧麥肯基說：「我很欣賞製造這樣一個令人驚豔演出的焦點和流暢性，其中有很多個人表演有耀眼的特色，但是他們卻必須與團體流暢演出，所以令人印象深刻。」
Mackenzie walked away with an even greater appreciation of Chinese heritage.
麥肯基帶著對中華文化遺產更為欣賞的心情離開。
