哦我没去过耶丰年祭不是原住民的活动吗一般人可以参加吗有什么活动啊
ò 哦wǒ 我méi 没qù 去guò 过yē 耶fēngniánjì 丰年祭bùshì 不是yuánzhùmín 原住民de 的huódòng 活动ma 吗yībānrén 一般人kěyǐ 可以cānjiā 参加ma 吗yǒu shénme 有什么huódòng 活动ā 啊
Huh? I've never been, isn't it an aboriginal event? Can ordinary people attend? What activities are there?
我去年参加的时候大部分都是看原住民表演传统舞蹈唱歌或是祈福以及跟原住民长老讲话
wǒ 我qùnián 去年cānjiā 参加de shíhou 的时候dàbùfēn 大部分dōu 都shì 是kàn 看yuánzhùmín 原住民biǎoyǎn 表演chuántǒng wǔdǎo 传统舞蹈chànggē 唱歌huòshì 或是qífú 祈福yǐjí 以及gēn 跟yuánzhùmín 原住民zhǎnglǎo 长老jiǎnghuà 讲话
When I went last year, it was mostly watching aboriginal people perform traditional dances, songs or blessings and talking with the elders.
就这样而已吗我又不懂原住民文化也听不懂原住民语不会很无聊吗
jiù zhèyàngéryǐ 就这样而已ma 吗wǒ 我yòu 又bù dǒng 不懂yuánzhùmín 原住民wénhuà 文化yě 也tīng 听bù dǒng 不懂yuánzhùmínyǔ 原住民语bùhuì 不会hěn 很wúliáo 无聊ma 吗
That's it? But I don't even understand aboriginal culture and don't understand aboriginal languages, so won't it be quite boring?
