问题  
A: Xiaohua, one of my professors will give a lecture on Kunqu tomorrow. The only thing I know about Chinese traditional opera is Peking Opera. What’s Kunqu? Is it different from Peking Opera?
B：昆曲和京剧还是有一些区别的。昆曲是中国最古老的剧种之一，它起源于明代江苏昆山地区，所以叫作“昆曲”。昆曲和其他中国传统戏曲一样，也是用歌舞的形式讲故事。它的旋律非常优美，曲词由当时著名的文学家撰写，受到很多人，特别是贵族的喜爱。昆曲之后又不断发展，成为一种高雅的艺术。
A: I saw some pictures of Kunqu and Peking Opera. They look the same! Did they learn from each other, or do all types of Chinese traditional opera share the same costumes and stage design?
B：这是因为京剧学习了昆曲的很多特点。昆曲被称为“中国戏曲之母”，它对许多剧种都有巨大的影响。所以，你能在很多剧种中找到与昆曲的相似之处。昆曲是京剧发展的基础，但京剧又逐渐有了自己的特点。比如，京剧里的很多故事都不是来自昆曲，而是原创的；另外，京剧的歌唱方法也和昆曲不同。
A: Wow, the mother of traditional Chinese opera. I didn’t know Kunqu enjoys such a high position. But according to what you said, Kunqu was supposed to be the most famous form of opera in China. But why is Peking Opera more famous now? What happened?
B：因为昆曲的故事种类很有限，主要是爱情故事，容易让人感到枯燥。另外，昆曲旋律和曲词的规则又多又烦琐，很难推出新作品。无论什么艺术形式，如果不持续发展和创新，都会慢慢衰落。而京剧不仅学到了昆曲的优点，还做了改进。它增加了故事的种类，引起了观众的兴趣。京剧还将许多其他剧种最优秀的地方结合到一起，这样的戏曲怎么会不吸引人呢?
选项
答案 A：晓华，明天我的一个教授要讲一堂昆曲课。中国传统戏曲里，我只知道京剧。昆曲是什么?和京剧有区别吗?
B: There are some differences between Kunqu and Peking Opera. Kunqu is one of the oldest forms of opera in China. It originated in the Kunshan area, Jiangsu Province in the Ming dynasty, and that’s why it’s called Kunqu. Same with other forms of Chinese traditional opera, Kunqu tells stories with song and dance. Its melodies were beautiful, and its lyrics were written by famous writers. Therefore, it was welcomed by many people, especially nobles. Kunqu was being developed continuously and became an elegant form of arts.
A：我看过一些昆曲和京剧的图片。看起来完全一样啊!它们是互相借鉴，还是说所有剧种都共用一套服装和舞台设计?
B: This is because Peking Opera learned many features from Kunqu. Kunqu was called the mother of Chinese traditional opera, which has a great influence on many opera forms in China. So you can find a lot of things in other opera forms that are similar to Kunqu. Kunqu is the basis for the development of Peking Opera, but Peking Opera gradually developed its own characteristics. For example, many stories in Peking Opera are not from Kunqu but are its original stories. The ways of singing in Peking Opera are different from Kunqu, too.
A：哇，“中国戏曲之母”，我都不知道昆曲的地位这么高。但照你说的，昆曲应该是中国最有名的剧种。但为什么现在京剧更有名?发生了什么?
B: Because the types of Kunqu’s stories are limited to love stories, and people can easily get bored with them. In addition, there are too many complicated rules of melodies and lyrics, making it hard to produce new shows. For any forms of arts, if it is not being developed and innovated continuously, it will gradually decline. Peking Opera not only learned the advantages of Kunqu, but also improved it by expanding the types of stories, which arouse the interest of audiences. Peking Opera also combined the best parts of other opera forms. How can opera like this not be attractive?
