大家好，欢迎来到英语每日一练。今天我们将聊一聊语言和音乐的关系。
每一种生物都有自己的语言。人类更是如此，我们一般通过语言来表达我们的喜怒哀乐。对于人类来说，还有一种表达感情的方式，那就是音乐。那么，语言和音乐有哪些相似之处呢？在语言和音乐的背后我们又能发现什么呢？请大家阅读下面这篇阅读理解，寻找答案吧！，
Both language and music play a huge role in our culture. Here are some of their similarities.
(1) Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using letters. Similarly, we use notes to record music. Just as you are reading letters and find meaning in them, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. So just as you read English, you can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. I can read the ideas or hear the works of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really exciting.
(2)__________________
You can guess where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, styles of music are different around the world, giving us the chance to understand many different cultures. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don’t like British pop music, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.
(3) Both share feelings.
How do you know that I am angry? Of course you can see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can show you exactly how the composer (作曲者) was or is feeling. When I’m happy, I want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate my happiness; and I listen to slow and quiet music when I’m feeling down. I think we have all used music to express our feelings, often combining (结合) itwith language in the form of song lyrics.

D. We can share the composer’s feelings in his or her music.
语言和音乐在我们的文化里起到了巨大的作用。这里有一些他们的相似点。
（1） 语言和音乐都有一个书写系统。
在英语中我们用字母记录语言。与之相似的是，我们用符号记录音乐。就像你通过阅读字母从中发现意思一样，音乐家阅读符号并且创作音乐形式的意思。所以当你读英语的时候，你可能在读音乐。
通过书写下数篇文章或音乐，我们能穿越时空来分享经验。我可以阅读数百年前活着的人的观点或听他们的作品，这真是太令人兴奋了。
（2）__________________
你可以通过听听他们使用的语言来猜测某人来自于哪里。同样得，全世界的音乐类型也是不同的，这给了我们机会来理解许多不同类型的文化。
这也意味着对每个人来说都有一些自己喜欢的事情。即使你不喜欢英国流行音乐，你可能会喜欢拉丁美洲萨尔萨舞曲的激情。
（3）（语言和音乐）都会分享感情。
你怎么知道我生气了？当然你可以在我的脸上看到它，但是你将通过我的话语来确定。同样地，音乐可以准确地展现出作曲者过去和现在的感受。
当我开心的时候，我想伴着开心的歌曲唱歌和跳舞来庆祝我的快乐；
当我失落的时候我听缓慢的和安静的音乐。
我认为我们都使用过音乐来表达我们的感情，经常用歌词的语言形式和它结合在一起。
