哈佛教授教你唱《两只老虎》版中国朝代歌
爱思英语编者按:哈佛大学的两位教授维廉·柯比(中文名柯伟林)和包弼德给大家想出了妙招来记中国朝代的顺序可谓是终极难题。 The order of China’s dynasties can be a complicated puzzle for students of Chinese history. The Harvard professors William Kirby and Peter Bol offer this trick: a song that names the major dynasties, the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China (or as the lyrics have it, “Mao Zedong”) to the tune of “Frère Jacques.” 小编注:法国儿歌《雅克兄弟》Frère Jacques 就是儿歌《两只老虎》的法语原版。 The singing professors are teaching a free course on China through HarvardX, the university’s branch of the nonprofit online learning program edX. “If you sing this song once a day, you will always remember the sequence of Chinese dynasties,” Professor Bol says on the video. “You will also drive your friends and family crazy,” replies Professor Kirby. |
