Lu Xun 翻译：鲁迅

Lu Xun, one of the greatest modern writers in China, was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province in 1881 and died in 1936. The name Lu Xun was a pen name. His real name was Zhou Shuren. 翻译：鲁迅，中国最伟大的现代作家之一，1881年出生于浙江绍兴，1936年离世。鲁迅是他的笔名。其真名叫作周树人。

In 1902, Lu Xun traveled to Japan to study, and later in 1904 he became a medical student. He wanted to improve people's health and save their lives. However, he changed his mind when he saw in a picture a Japanese soldier killing a Chinese man and other Chinese in the picture just watching. He realized that the biggest problem in China was not people's physical illness but their spiritual illness. Then, he dropped out of the medical school in 1906 and returned to China in 1909. 翻译：1902年，鲁迅去日本游学，1904年晚期开始学医。他想改善人们的健康，拯救他们的生命。然而，当他看到一张照片时，他改变了主意，照片上的一名日本士兵在杀害一名中国人，其他中国人只是在一旁看着。他意识到，中国最大的问题并不是人们身体上疾病，而是精神上的疾病。于是，1906年他从医学院辍学，于1909年回到中国。

In 1918, with his friend's help, Lu Xun joined a magazine called New Youth. He published his first famous short story A Madman's Diary in 1918. After that, Lu Xun wrote a large number of literary works. His novels The True Story of Ah Q and The New Year's Sacrifice were later made into films. With his pen, he called on his people to stand up and try every means to make China stronger. Now his dream has come true. 翻译：1918年，在朋友的帮助下，鲁迅加入了《新青年》杂志的编撰工作。他发表了个人第一篇短篇小说《狂人日记》。自那以后，鲁迅写了大量的文学作品。他的小说《阿Q正传》和《祝福》在后来被制作成电影。他用笔号召人们站起来，想尽一切办法让中国变得更加强大。现在，他的梦想实现了。

As Lu Xun is a leading figure of modern Chinese literature, one of China's top four literature prizes, Lu Xun Literature Prize is named after him. It has encouraged many talented writers in China. His works continue to inspire us to this day. 翻译：因为鲁迅是中国现代文学的领军人物，中国四大文学奖之一的鲁迅文学奖，便是以他的名字而命名。这鼓励了中国很多有才华的作家。他的作品至今仍在激励着我们。

Where and when was Lu Xun born? 翻译：鲁迅是什么时候在哪里出生的？

When did he become a medical student? 翻译：他是什么时候开始学医？

Why did Lu Xun drop out of the medical school? 翻译：为什么鲁迅要从医学院辍学？

Fryderyk Chopin 翻译：弗里德里克·肖邦

In his later years, he enjoyed playing at his apartment for a few friends more than giving big concerts. Chopin became seriously ill when he was only 25 and continued to have bad health into his old age. In his last years, he was very weak but kept on writing music until he died in 1849. The world lost a musical talent, but his spirit continues to live in his works today. 翻译：晚年，他更喜欢在自己的公寓里给几个朋友演奏，而不是举办大型音乐会。肖邦在年仅25岁的时候便生了重病，一直持续到晚年身体状况都不佳。在他的晚年岁月里，他非常虚弱，但是却继续作曲，一直到1849年去世为止。世界失去了一位音乐天才，但他的精神至今仍继续活在其作品中。

Fryderyk Chopin was a famous pianist and music writer. Today many piano music lovers still listen to his famous works such as Minute Waltz. He was born on March 1, 1810 in a small village in Poland. Everyone in Chopin's family was a musician. His father played the violin, and his mother and sister played the piano. His family moved to Warsaw when Chopin was seven months old. 翻译：弗里德里克·肖邦是一位著名的钢琴家兼作曲家。当今，许多的钢琴曲爱好者仍然还听他的名曲，例如《一分钟华尔兹》。他于1810年3月1日出生在波兰的一个小农村里。肖邦家人人都是音乐家。他的父亲拉小提琴，而他的母亲和姐姐则弹钢琴。当肖邦七个月大的时候，他家搬到了华沙。

When he was six years old, he started to take piano lessons. Soon he played even better than his teacher. At that time, he also started to write music, and began to give concerts when he was only seven! In 1825, when he was 15 years old, people said he was the best pianist in Warsaw. They called him the poet of the piano because his music could touch the hearts of his listeners. 翻译：当他六岁的时候，他开始上钢琴课。很快，他弹得甚至比他的老师还要好。在那时，他还开始作曲，并且在年仅七岁的时候开始举办音乐会！1825年，当他十五岁的时候，人们就说他是华沙最优秀的钢琴家。他们把他称为钢琴诗人，因为他的音乐能够打动听众的心。
