作为学语言的人，会去研究一个词语的各种意义的变迁。先举个例子，比如说十年前，电视上出现一个外表十分俊朗、帅气的男性；人们喜欢他的外貌，甚至被他的人格所吸引，就称之为“帅哥”。

“帅哥”这个词，刚开始就是用来形容容貌较好的男性的。经过社会和人们心理对这个词的发展，这个词的意义涵盖范围已经被扩大，比如有人见了我也叫“帅哥”，我就不会那样兴奋了，因为就连现在睡在我上面的龌龊男也被称为“帅哥”，我甚至感到被侮辱。。。

言归正传，所以“音乐”这个词，看似简单，但还是值得推敲，因为它也在变。

如果一个十九世纪的欧洲人，说自己喜欢音乐，他很有可能指贝多芬。

如果一个二十世纪三十年代的中国人渴望音乐的熏陶，他需要的是黄河大合唱！

如果一个大连海事大学边上一个驾驶摩的师傅要想想各位展示一下自己的音乐天赋，他会唱：我要向前飞 我是等爱的玫瑰 心中潜藏着待放的花蕊。。。

我在家，见过这种后面带着音箱的摩托车，不过那些是专业用来卖音乐发烧碟的。记得那年学校最后一次高考模拟考，学校门口来了辆买碟的摩托车，当我们在考场中奋笔疾书时，放了一天的《两只蝴蝶》：亲爱的，你慢慢飞。。。

到了大连，我发现，原来这种能放音乐的摩托车，原来是可以载人的。。。摩的师傅一边运着人，一边放着各种音乐：那一夜, 你没有拒绝我! 那一夜, 我伤害了你。。。

因为网络上已经有太多文章批评恶俗歌曲了，我今天要做的不是这个工作，我甚至不想称他们为恶俗，最然每次听到《不怕不怕》，我会起鸡皮疙瘩。。。

在大连海事大学边上，还有一些理发店（现在被称为形象设计室、沙龙，等等。。。），做着类似的事情，当然，他们还会放一些十几年前的欧美舞曲风的流行曲。所以，我十分惊讶地看到，对于网络歌曲最最敏感，甚至成为网络音乐风向标的，竟然是驾驶摩的的师傅们！只要是被人们怀疑是恶俗的音乐，他们的音箱里总是能找得到，而且更新速度惊人，跟我同寝的一位兄弟有的拼。

有很多鄙视这些歌曲，原因就是所谓的恶俗，但是，从这些驾驶摩的的师傅，到理发店，到位城市建设做出莫大贡献的民工同志，到食堂的大厨们，等等，都是欣赏这类文化艺术的群体，所以人们再怎么批评其恶俗，这些“音乐”还是有很大的群众基础的，包括我寝室的兄弟，这就说明了其存在的价值。

这就回到一个问题，什么是艺术？

艺术家，到时是应该与众不同？还是充满与人民群众的亲切感？

艺术，到底是高不可攀，还是平易近人？

或者两者加固，或者有所偏向。

但是有一点，高雅的艺术，的确会让人高雅，但不会让人高人一等。

近些年，很多青年人标榜自己对摇滚的热爱（我也喜欢摇滚，觉得，“摇滚是音乐的灵魂”有几分道理。），热爱到对其他形式的流行歌曲，产生鄙夷的情绪。还有人在自己的博客上发表文章，说R&B，也有说hip-hop是音乐的最高形式，听别的音乐的都是不懂艺术的人（其实他们用了更猛烈的词汇）。当然这些也只是一些个别的极端。

大家喜好不同，当然可以有不同的看法，但是从宏观的角度看，只要有人接受，都有其存在的价值。再怎么被人（包括很多人，还有一些人）看不起，再怎么被称作恶俗，这些商业化后的音乐，只要能卖，有人听，就说明了它存在的合理性：即，它能被一定的人群接受，并喜爱，从中得到了心情的愉悦，甚至情操的陶冶，这不就是艺术的目的么。

当然，我并不是说所有给人们带来心情愉悦的都能被称为艺术，比如也享有相当的群众基础的粗糙的日韩成人电影，虽然满足了社会某些角落的需要，但是也提高了日韩的性侵犯犯罪率。现在说话真的很难，其实成人的电影也可以是艺术，但不是向小日本那样，我接触的不多，也就不多说了。

文化可以是一面镜子，也可以是一盏明灯。可以反映人们的生活，更能指引人民积极向上。

对于某些文化现象的妄加指责，并不能起到多大的作用，我们应该有一颗包容的心，要对自己所不能接受的事物的存在进行思考，甚至理解，而并不是动不动就破口大骂。萝卜白菜各有所爱，我们热爱自己的珍藏，没有必要去攻击、笑话别人的嗜好。无论再怎么不喜欢，每当走在路上，有摩的经过的时候，还是会为听到的音乐感到郁闷，还不如感慨一下这世界是多么的丰富多彩。

虽然，并不是每个人都是艺术家，每个人都有自己对美的追求的标准。这就是我们需要尊重的个人意志，人格，甚至，人权。高山流水，下里巴人，我们不应该去指责别人的追求，我们要做的，可以是把自己喜爱的那盏灯点亮，或许能照亮他人，而不是去谩骂讥笑、试图击碎别人的镜子。

好了，准备考研很累，没事就胡思乱想一下。去自习去了。

　　The only person who has ever said I am handsome is nobody but Tony. And Tony was the name that I used in junior school. Even when I asked my mother, who gave birth to me, whether she thought she had a handsome son, she did not answer but turned her head toward the window and gazed into distance with an long sigh.

　　Then I become a thinker, and it is likely that I will graduate with a paper revealing the ultimate reason why I am not handsome----I got a tremendous head and an enormous face.

For 20 years I had been looking for a cap for myself, while my little wish was always rejected by the helpless shop assistants saying: “Sorry but all of our caps are too small.” But deep inside their hearts they wanted to say: “Oh, man, what a freaking huge head you got!” Or “You call that a head on your neck? Oh, man, I though you got a basket ball there.” When I was 21, I had a haircut and became a bald, so that I finally got a Puma cap which was just about the right size! You never know how happy I was than. Two days later, my dear cap was tore broken for being over stretched.

　　Enough for my poor head, and my face got something to say. In many love songs, when the man misses his girl too much, he might say, I see your faces everywhere. Well, in my case, if you are alone in an elevator with me, you will find that MY face, is just everywhere. Anyway, I don’t care how a stranger feels about my face. But the most embarrassing thing ever happened to me was that one time when I was trying to kiss a girl, I held her waist softly, and leaned my lips gently toward hers. All of a sudden, I felt everything just stopped and my back was been scratched by her struggling finger nails. She implored with tears to me to stop for that she felt suffocated because of my pressing face. I hate my face!!!

　　Then I got another wish, like when in Tang Dynasty, people considered plump girls beauties, people in near future will find tremendous head and enormous face sexy. I then have a dream one day: when people see me, they will cry in craziness, It that a basketball? Is that a hot-balloon? No! It’s Huge Head Big Face!

---------To Be a Global Citizen of China

大连海事大学 叶希聪

　　Hundreds of years ago, the world used to be far beyond what Christopher Columbus could see, but now we’ve seen the World Cup in Germany bringing cheers and tears to every corner of the world, and the tsunami in Indian Ocean followed by love and help from the entire globe, and we will see Beijing touching everyone's heart in 2008, for globalization has bond us together as global citizens.

　　The term global citizenship reveals the responsibility of everyone living on earth. The 6th UNSG Dr. Boutros-Ghali is considered as a modal of global citizen, who toiled and moiled for the people all over world. He once said, since I am a global citizen, I surely should do the best I could.

　　However, not everyone has the same concept in heart, especially here in China. With the crazy economical boom, many Chinese people, including the young people, seem to be lost pursuing merely wealth and power. But such desires won’t make people happy, for personal desires can only be multiplied but never satisfied. What’s worse, they will undermine the integrity of our nation and even the whole world. On the contrary, there are people holding Conference of Global Citizens, discussing all kinds of global affairs which are threatening human race. Now the point is that we have to stop those people from being so near-sighted.

　　With the tides of globalization, we Chinese still need to hold on to some precious traditional concepts such as the one from Lao Tzu: human life should be in perfect harmony with nature. In another word, we need to take the small world into our generous hearts. And we can do all the small but respectable things around us. For example, saving a tree in China also means saving one for the world, taking public transportation equals struggling against global warming.　　So to perform one’s duty of a global citizen does not necessarily mean to be a UNSG, but to take the world into consideration. No matter how trivial are the things we are doing around us, even far smaller than people of other nations can see, as long as we bear our duty of global citizens in mind, we are doing great, not only for China, but also for the world for the whole humankind.
