电台文本

Hello, this is MT English. I'm Joe. Here is a new podcast today. It's about black history month.It's a month that celebrated in a country such as USA, all of Europe and Africa and celebrating black history, and through music, through poetry, through reading, studying programs at schools and lots of activities. We focus for women from black history.

大家好，这里是MT英语电台。我是周培森。今天这里是一个全新的电台专辑。这个专辑是介绍有关于黑人历史月的事情。像美国，整个欧洲国家还有非洲国家会通过音乐、诗歌、阅读、在校专题等等各种各样的活动的方式来庆祝黑人历史。（而我们接下来的专辑里面）想要侧重说的是黑人历史中的女性。

In China. I found that perceptions of black people black history would generally um... let’s say very narrow and often the basic misunderstandings or ideas , the Africa is poor. Um... black people are poor, black people all like hip-pop, hip-pop is black people, and maybe black people are good at sports, they are good at basketball, they are good at running, so we discussing some of these stereotypes in later podcasts.

在中国，我发现一些人对于黑人历史的观念可以说是非常局限并且大多都存在基本的误解，他们认为非洲是贫穷的，黑人是贫穷的，黑人全部都喜欢hip-pop，黑人就是hip-pop，甚至认为黑人擅长于体育运动，他们擅长打篮球，擅长田径。我们会在后续的专辑讨论这其中的一些固有的成见。

So why should we have this month to celebrate blackhistory. Um, one reason is that black history is often being repressed（被压抑的） in the past, that means it’s being erased （被抹去、被清除）from history, it’s being deleted, and people don't want to remember for certain reasons and so African history also is an oral history. So traditionally was not written down like Chinese history or European history. So it's very difficult to know about the ancient African history, and the relative in modern history. Black history has often being written by white people, in European in America and therefore,it's their version of events. And of course, we know the history are always written by the conqueror by the winner, let’s say. So often the histories are very bias（偏见）, one sided. So in black history month, we can go and really look deep into(深入探究） black history and see what the real history is.

所以为什么我们会有一个月来庆祝黑人历史呢？其中一个原因是，黑人的历史是经常被遏制。在过去，这意味着在历史的长河中是被抹除的或者可以说被清除的，并且由于某些原因世人并不想去记住或者记录这段历史，因此非洲的历史可以说是一种口耳相传的历史。正因如此，非洲的传统并不像中国的历史或者欧洲的历史那样被完好地记录下来。因此了解古代的非洲历史、近代相关的历史是非常困难的。黑人历史大都被在欧洲或者美洲的白人记录下来了，因此这些记录下来的事件是白人的观点和见解。并且理所当然，我们知道这些历史总是被征服者或者胜者记录下来，因此，这些历史普遍都非常偏见和片面的。因此，通过黑人历史月活动，我们可以深入研究黑人历史并且看到真正的历史是什么。

So often we find the black histories are very bias to Europeans or Americans and other white countries.Um, so it's really important to look back at(回顾、回头看) the history and try understand who are black people, where do they come from and what is the history.

 我们常常会发现黑人历史是非常偏向于欧洲或者美国还有其他白人国家，因此回顾历史是非常重要的，并且试着去理解谁是黑人，他们来自哪里还有他们的历史是什么。

So in these podcasts,I will be using some poetry, some musics sometimes, um,to try get you interested in history. Of course, it's not possible in a short podcast to talk about everything in black history but it’s just to give you some flavor of what is about. So today’s question is: have you ever thought about black history? Do you know anything about black history? And what do you know? I am Joe. See you next time, bye bye!

所以在这个专辑里，我会时不时地用一些诗歌一些音乐去尝试着让你对黑人历史感兴趣。当然啦，在这么短的专辑里去讨论关于黑人历史的所有东西是不可能的，但是这可以让你黑人历史有一个大概的了解，所以今天的问题是：你曾经有想过黑人历史吗？你对黑人历史知道什么？并且你知道什么呢？我是周培森，下次再见，拜拜！
