我可没这种感觉，每个人的欣赏品味都不一样嘛。不过一些严肃的场合还是美声唱法更应景些，显得比较庄重。比方说，在两国商务合作的宴会上，《祝酒歌》要比《辣妹子》合适得多啊。
wǒ kě méi zhèzhǒng gǎnjué ，měi ge rén de xīnshǎng pǐnwèi dōu bù yīyàng ma 。bùguò yīxiē yánsù de chǎnghé háishì Měishēng chàngfǎ gèng yìngjǐng xiē ，xiǎnde bǐjiào zhuāngzhòng 。bǐfangshuō ，zài liǎngguó shāngwù hézuò de yànhuì shàng ，《Zhùjiǔgē 》yào bǐ 《Làmèizi 》héshì de duō a 。
I don't have that feeling at all. Every person's tastes are different. However, bel canto is a bit more suitable at serious events; it seems a bit more solemn. For instance, at a banquet celebrating a business deal between two countries, "Libiamo Ne' Lieti Calici" is more appropriate than "La Meizi."

哎，我们还不如农民！自己承包一块地种种，比城市悠闲舒适多了。每天呼吸新鲜空气，金灿灿的油菜花免费看！路上也没那么多车，两旁是绿油油的庄稼，真是赏心悦目。自己盖一栋小楼，还有大院子，比别墅还别墅！

Agh, we're not as lucky as the peasants! Maintaining a plot of land yourself is so much more carefree and comfortable than life in the city. You can breathe fresh air and look at the beautiful golden canolas for free! There aren't many cars on the road and bright green fields on either side. It's really pleasant to imagine. You can build a small house for yourself, plus a big courtyard. It's even more lovely than a villa!
