作为一座历史文化名城

As a famous historical and cultural city

绍兴就如同那陈年的黄酒

Shaoxing is just like the old rice wine

浓厚 醇香

Thick and mellow

而绍兴人的生活除了有酒

In addition to wine

还有悠扬婉转的越音

Shaoxing people also have melodious Yueyin

空巷看竞渡

Watching the ferry race in the empty lane

倒社观戏场

And watching the opera in the community

南宋诗人陆游曾用这样的诗句

Lu You, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, once wrote this poem

来形容家乡社戏上演时热闹的场面

To describe the lively scene while the She Opera is on show

也难怪

No wonder

鲁迅在回忆童年生活时曾写道

Lu Xun wrote when recalling his childhood

至于我在那里所第一盼望的

As for what I most expected

却在到赵庄去看戏

I could go to see a play in Zhaozhuang

水乡社戏

The Water Town’s She Opera

承载着许多绍兴人的美好回忆

Carries the good memories of many Shaoxing people

也演绎着寻常巷陌的风俗百态

And also represents the customs of the town
