@ 50841 六一兒童節
A 那我們來聽聽中文播客的同事嬌傑，你六一兒童節的回憶哦。
nà wǒ men lái tīng ting Zhōngwén bōkè de tóngshì Jiāojié, nǐ liùyī Er2tóng Jié de huíyì ō.
So let's listen to ChinesePod colleague Jiaojie's recollections about Children's Day on June First.
B 我們六一兒童節的時候一般會有文藝表演。
wǒ men liùyī Er2tóng Jié de shíhou yī bān huì yǒu wényì biǎoyǎn.
On Children's Day we would usually have artistic and literary performances.
A 哦，所以是很興師動眾的。
o, suǒyǐ shì hěn xīngshīdòngzhòng de.
Oh, so a lot of people got involved.
B 對。
duì.
Yes.
A 就是學校裡會組織小朋友唱歌跳舞什麼的。對吧？
jiùshì xuéxiào lǐ huì zǔzhī xiǎopéngyǒu chànggē tiàowǔ shénme de. duì ba?
So schools organize the kids and have them sing and dance, right?
B 就是我們要先在學校表演，然後選出比較好的去全區表演。
jiùshì wǒmen yào xiān zài xuéxiào biǎoyǎn, ránhòu xuǎn chū bǐjiào hǎo de qù quánqū biǎoyǎn.
First, we'd have a performance in the school. Then we'd pick the best ones to go to the regional performance.
A 就是好多學校在一起比賽。
jiùshì hǎoduō xuéxiào zàiyīqǐ bǐsài.
So many schools competed together.
B 對。
duì.
Yes.
A 那壓力會很大嗎？會很累吧？
nà yālì huì hěn dà ma? huì hěn lèi ba?
So was there a lot of pressure? Did you feel exhausted?
B 那會兒不覺得累，就是覺得滿開心的。
nà huìr bù juéde lèi, jiùshì juéde mǎn kāixīn de.
At that time we don't feel really tired, just really happy.
A 哦，可能排練呢還可以不用上課。這個是同學們最喜歡的事情。
o, kěnéng páiliàn ne hái kěyǐ bùyòng shàngkè. zhè ge shì tóngxué men zuì xǐhuan de shìqing.
Oh, maybe when you rehearse you don't need to go to class. That's something that students really enjoy.
B 對，下午我們排練完了就可以回家了。
duì, xiàwǔ wǒmen pái liànwán le jiù kěyǐ huíjiā le .
Yes, in the afternoon after we finished rehearsing we could just go home.
A 所以你說這個六一兒童節表演節目，還有這樣慶祝啊，大概是小學的時候吧。
suǒyǐ nǐ shuō zhè ge liùyī Er2tóng Jié biǎoyǎn jiémù, hái yǒu zhèyàng qìngzhù ā, dàgài shì xiǎoxué de shíhou ba.
So you're saying that this Children's Day performance and these celebrations take place in elementary school, right?
B 對。是小學的時候。
duì. shì xiǎoxué de shíhou.
Right. They take place in elementary school.
A 所以差不多是到中學，就是小學畢業，好像大家就不過六一節了。
suǒyǐ chàbuduō shì dào zhōngxué, jiùshì xiǎoxué bìyè, hǎoxiàng dàjiā jiù bùguò liùyījié le.
So it seems like more or less when you get to middle school, after graduating from elementary school, people don't celebrate Children's Day anymore.
B 初中一年級就不過了。
chūzhōng yī niánjí jiù bù guò le.
When we got to the first year of middle school we stopped celebrating it.
A 那除了學校的這種慶祝，你們放假嗎？
nà chúle xuéxiào de zhè zhǒng qìngzhù, nǐmen fàngjià ma?
Now, other than these kinds of celebrations, do you get any vacation?
B 上午表演，大概下午就放假了。
shàngwǔ biǎoyǎn, dàgài xiàwǔ jiù fàngjià le .
I guess you perform in the morning, and then you get the afternoon off.
A 那家裡會不會給你買些禮物啊什麼，多給一些零花錢？
nà jiālǐ huìbuhuì gěi nǐ mǎi xiē lǐwù a shénme, duō gěi yīxiē línghuāqián?
Would your family buy you any presents or give you some spending money or anything like that?
B 好像不買禮物，但是會多給我一點零花錢。
hǎoxiàng bù mǎi lǐwù, dànshì huì duōgěi wǒ yīdiǎn línghuāqián .
It doesn't seem like we got presents, but they would give you a little more spending money.
A 你都怎麼用啊？
nǐ dōu zěnme yòng a?
How would you spend it?
B 我就自己想買什麼買什麼。買零食什麼……雪糕啊。
wǒ jiù zìjǐ xiǎng mǎi shénme mǎi shénme. mǎi líng shí shénme......xuěgāo a.
I'd just spend it how I liked. I'd buy some snacks, stuff like ice cream.
A 現在回想起來，覺得那個時候快樂嗎？六一兒童節。
xiànzài huíxiǎng qǐlái, juéde nà ge shíhou kuàilè ma? liùyī Er2tóng Jié.
Looking back on it now, do you think that was a happy time? I mean Children's Day.
B 嗯，很快樂。
ng4, hěn kuàilè.
Oh yes, very happy.
A 還挺懷念的噢！
hái tǐng huáiniàn de o!
You're really thinking fondly of it!
B 對。
duì.
Yes.
A 所以我們剛剛聽到嬌傑的兒童節回憶，也是滿開心的啦！
suǒyǐ wǒmen gānggāng tīngdào Jiāojié de Er2tóng Jié huíyì, yě shì mǎn kāixīn de la!
So we just heard Jiaojie's recollections of Children's Day. It was really happy.
B 嗯。
ng4.
*sigh*
A 那現在呢，我們有一位來自臺灣的同事，Aric, 他要告訴我們一下在臺灣是怎麼慶祝兒童節的。Aric，在臺灣，好像兒童節的日期不是六月一號，對吧？
nà xiànzài ne, wǒmen yǒu yī wèi láizì Táiwān de tóngshì, Aric, tā yào gàosu wǒ men yīxià zài Táiwān shì zěnme qìngzhù Er2tóng Jié de. Aric, zài Táiwān, hǎoxiàng Er2tóng Jié de rìqī bù shì liùyuè yī hào , duìba?
Now, we have a colleague from Taiwan, Aric. He wants to tell us a bit about how Children's Day is celebrated in Taiwan. Aric, it seems like in Taiwan, Children's Day is not June First, right?
C 不是。在臺灣的兒童節是四月四日。
bù shì. zài Táiwān de Er2tóng Jié shì sìyuè sì rì .
No, it's not. In Taiwan, Children's Day is April Fourth.
A 四月四號？哎，那前面我問你啊，印象最深的兒童節你們是怎麼過的？
sìyuè sìhào? āi, nà qiánmian wǒ wèn nǐ a, yìnxiàng zuìshēn de Er2tóng Jié nǐ men shì zěnme guò de?
April Fourth? Oh, now first of all, I'd like to ask you, how did you celebrate the Children's Day that left the biggest impression?
C 在我們那個年代吧，小學的時候才有過嘛。
zài wǒ men nàge niándài ba, xiǎoxué de shíhou cái yǒuguò ma.
Back in that era, we'd barely gotten into elementary school. Generally, we would get some cookies. Or maybe pencils and erasers, stuff like that. Other than that stuff, we didn't have really big activities to celebrate. I guess that's basically the only experience we had as children.
A 嗯。
ng4.
So the fun was in the fact that the school would give you some little gifts.
C 通常的話我們就會拿到一些餅乾啊，或是一些鉛筆橡擦啊這種東西。除了這之外我們其實沒有說有很大的慶祝活動。這大概就是唯一的這個…這種當兒童的感受吧。
tōngcháng dehuà wǒ men jiù huì ná dào yīxiē bǐnggān a, huòshì yīxiē qiānbǐ xiàngcā a zhè zhǒng dōngxi. chúle zhè zhīwài wǒmen qíshí méiyǒu shuō yǒu hěn dà de qìngzhùhuódòng. zhè dàgài jiùshì wéiyī de zhè ge...zhè zhǒng dāng értóng de gǎnshòu ba.
Yes, yes.
A 樂趣就是學校送你一些小禮物。
lèqù jiùshì xuéxiào sòng nǐ yīxiē xiǎo lǐwù.
Now earlier we had another colleague mention that the school would organize arts and literary performances, with singing and dancing. Now in your day, which was a little bit earlier, twenty or thirty years ago, there still weren't those kind of things, right?
C 對對對。
duì duì duì.
Right. In those days, people were still very conservative.
A 那前面因為我們另外的同事，在學校都會什麼組織文藝表演，唱歌跳舞，你說那個你的年代，就是比較早一點，二三十年前還沒有，是吧？
nà qiánmian yīnwèi wǒmen lìngwài de tóngshì, zài xuéxiào dōuhuì shénme zǔzhī wényì biǎoyǎn, chànggē tiàowǔ, nǐ shuō nàge nǐ de niándài, jiùshì bǐjiào zǎo yīdiǎn, èr sānshí niánqián hái méiyǒu, shì ba?
Oh, that's true.
C 對，在那個年代，人們還是很保守嘛。
duì, zài nàgeniándài , rénmen hái shì hěn bǎoshǒu ma.
So basically we didn't have any activities like they have today.
A 噢，這倒是。
o, zhè dàoshì.
Now for Children's Festival, do you give your kid any gifts?
C 所以基本上沒有像現在那麼多活動。
suǒyǐ jīběnshang méiyǒu xiàng xiànzài nà me duō huódòng.
Not really. Because my child grew up abroad, and doesn't really have any concept of Children's Day.
A 那兒童節的話，現在你會不會送你孩子一些禮物呢？
nà Er2tóng Jié dehuà, xiànzài nǐ huìbuhuì sòng nǐ háizi yīxiē lǐwù ne?
Doesn't really have that concept. Right. Actually, I think Children's Day is a lot of fun. Many kids on the mainland all call it International Children's Day, and they think everyone celebrates it. But when they grow up they find out that it actually isn't so. A lot of places don't celebrate it.
C 應該不會吧。因為我的兒子都在國外長大，對兒童節沒什麼概念。
yīnggāi bùhuì ba. yīnwèi wǒ de érzi dōu zài guówài zhǎngdà, duì Er2tóng Jié méishénme gàiniàn.
Right.
A 沒這個概念。對。其實我覺得兒童節挺好玩的。好多在大陸的小朋友都說它是國際兒童節，覺得全世界的人都會慶祝嘛！結果長大以後發現好像不是這樣的。很多地方的人都不慶祝。
méi zhè ge gàiniàn. duì. qíshí wǒ juéde Er2tóng Jié tǐng hǎowán de. hǎoduō zài dàlù de xiǎopéngyǒu dōu shuō tā shì guójì Er2tóng Jié, juéde quánshìjiè de rén dōuhuì qìngzhù ma! jiéguǒ zhǎngdà yǐhòu fāxiàn hǎoxiàng bù shì zhèyàng de. hěn duō dìfang de rén dōu bù qìngzhù.
So thanks, Aric, for telling us about your experiences during Children's Day.
C 對。
duì.
So now, our colleague Little He, who is possibly the youngest person here at ChinesePod, born in 1987, but now he's an adult, so we're not suspected of using child labor. So Little He, in your day, celebrating Children's Day was probably a bit different.
A 那謝謝Aric告訴我們你小時候的兒童節經歷。
nà xièxie Aric gàosu wǒ men nǐ xiǎo shíhou de Er2tóng Jié jīnglì.
That's right.
A 那現在這位同事小賀，他是我們整個中文播客裡面年紀可能最小的，87年出生，還好你成年了，我們沒有涉嫌招用童工。那小賀，你那個年代可能過六一兒童節又不太一樣了。
nà xiànzài zhè wèi tóngshì Xiǎo Hè, tā shì wǒ men zhěnggè Zhōngwén bōkè lǐmiàn niánjì kěnéng zuìxiǎo de, bā qī nián chūshēng, hái hǎo nǐ chéngnián le, wǒmen méiyǒu shèxián zhāoyòng tóng gōng . nà XiǎoHè, nǐ nàge niándài kěnéng guò liùyī Er2tóng Jié yòu bù tàiyíyàng le.
How would you celebrate it?
D 對的。
duì de.
We got vacation for Children's Day.
A 你們是怎麼過的呀？
nǐmen shì zěnme guò de ya?
You got vacation. It gets simpler all the time.
D 我們六一兒童節就是放假。
wǒmen liùyī Er2tóng Jié jiùshì fàngjià.
Because over there, it was like an elementary school, and in the countryside you just get vacation. There were no activities.
A 就是放假啊。越來越簡單了。
jiùshì fàngjià a. yuèláiyuè jiǎndān le.
So you grew up in Lian Yun Gang, a pretty small place in Jiangsu province. So maybe your experience of Children's Day there was a little different from in the cities.
D 因為我們那邊，像小學校嘛，而且鄉下就是放假，沒有任何的活動。
yīnwèi wǒmen nàbian, xiàng xiǎoxuéxiào ma, érqiě xiāngxià jiùshì fàngjià, méiyǒu rènhé de huódòng.
In the cities (because we could see them on the news), in the cities at that time they did celebrate Children's Festival on June First.
A 所以你是從小在江蘇連雲港這個城市一個比較小的地方成長的。所以在那兒的六一兒童節的經歷跟在城市的學校可能就有點不一樣了。
suǒyǐ nǐ shì cóngxiǎo zài Jiāngsū Liányúngǎng zhè ge chéngshì yī ge bǐjiào xiǎo de dìfang chéngzhǎng de. suǒyǐ zài nàr de liùyī Er2tóng Jié de jīnglì gēn zài chéngshì de xuéxiào kěnéng jiù yǒudiǎn bùyīyàng le.
Yes, and it was very grand.
D 像城市的話，因為我們在新聞裡面可以看到，像城市的話那時候六一兒童節他們還是有過的。
xiàng chéngshì dehuà, yīnwèi wǒmen zài xīnwén lǐmiàn kěyǐ kàndào, xiàng chéngshì dehuà nàshíhòu liùyī Er2tóng Jié tāmen hái shì yǒuguò de.
But little countryside elementary schools like ours wouldn't have that kind of activity.
A 對，還是挺隆重的。
duì, hái shì tǐng lóngzhòng de.
So were you envious?
D 像我們這種鄉下的小學它不會有這種活動的。
xiàng wǒmen zhèzhǒng xiāngxià de xiǎoxué tā bùhuì yǒu zhè zhǒng huódòng de.
Not really, because we didn't have it, so getting a vacation was OK.
A 那你會不會很羨慕呢？
nà nǐ huìbuhuì hěn xiànmù ne?
That's true. Little kids are happy as long as they don't have to go to class.
D 也不會很羨慕啊，因為沒有，放假也可以啊。
yěbùhuì hěn xiànmù a, yīnwèi méiyǒu, fàngjià yě kěyǐ a.
Right.
A 這倒是啊。小孩子只要不上課就很開心了。
zhè dàoshì a. xiǎo háizi zhǐyào bù shàngkè jiù hěn kāixīn le .
So basically on Children's Festival you would go out with your buddies and run wild and play.
D 對呀。
duìya.
Yes. It was OK as long as we got vacation. You could do whatever you liked when you were on vacation.
A 所以六一兒童節的時候你們基本上就是和小夥伴出去，隨便野，隨便玩。
suǒyǐ liùyī Er2tóng Jié de shíhou nǐmen jīběnshang jiùshì hé xiǎo huǒbàn chūqù, suíbiàn yě, suíbiàn wán.
So your experience was special, you had a very independent vacation for Children's Day.
D 對。只要放假就可以。放假反正隨便我們玩了。
duì. zhǐyào fàngjià jiù kěyǐ. fàngjià fǎnzhèng suíbiàn wǒmen wán le .
Right on.
A 所以你的經歷也是很特別的，就是都是很自由的放假的兒童節。
suǒyǐ nǐ de jīnglì yě shì hěn tèbié de, jiùshì dōu shì hěn zìyóu de fàngjià de Er2tóng Jié.
Would your mom and dad maybe give you some spending money?
D 對對對。
duì duì duì.
Nope. Maybe they didn't know about Children's Festival. Because in the countryside, these parents were from a different generation.
A 爸爸媽媽會不會什麼多給一些零花錢？
bàbamāma huìbuhuì shénme duō gěi yīxiē línghuāqián?
Ah, so their awareness was not the same.
D 沒有。他們可能還不知道有這個六一兒童節。因為鄉下的話，可能像這種父母的話，他們可能又是另外一個年代的人了。
méiyǒu. tāmen kěnéng hái bù zhīdào yǒu zhè ge liùyī Er2tóng Jié. yīnwèi xiāngxià dehuà, kěnéng xiàng zhèzhǒng fùmǔ dehuà, tāmen kěnéng yòu shì lìngwài yīge niándài de rén le.
Right.
A 對，意識又不太一樣。
duì, yìshí yòu bù tài yíyàng.
So in the future your child may have still another kind of Children's Day experience.
D 對對對。
duìduìduì.
Very true.
A 那以後你的孩子，可能他的兒童節經歷可能又不太一樣了。
nà yǐhòu nǐ de háizi, kěnéng tā de Er2tóng Jié jīnglì kěnéng yòu bù tài yíyàng le.
Oh, three generations in one family all with different Children's Festivals. Great. Thanks, Little He.
D 對對對。
duì duì duì.
A 哇，一家三代人不同的兒童節。好，謝謝小賀。
wa, yī jiā sāndài rén bùtóng de Er2tóngJié. hǎo, xièxie Xiǎo Hè.
