（唱）蓝脸的窦尔敦盗御马，红脸的关公战长沙，黄脸的典韦，白脸的曹操，黑脸的张飞 ，叫喳喳...... 洋洋：哈哈，山姆，从外面就能听见歌声了。你怎么喜欢上了这首《说唱脸谱》呢？ 山姆：我最近在研究中国的京剧呢。我很喜欢这个段子。 洋洋：刚才这个段子里唱的都是中国古代三国时期的人物。 山姆：对，可是这些人物，我只听说过曹操，因为有一句话叫"说曹操，曹操到"。 洋洋：是的。曹操是一代枭雄，名气很大呢。 山姆：洋洋，你说，为什么这些人物的肤色是五颜六色的呢？ 洋洋：哦，你说的呀，可是一门大艺术，这些五颜六色的脸在京剧中叫做脸谱。不同的颜色具有不同的象征意义，比如蓝脸象征性格刚直，红脸象征忠义血性，白脸象征多疑奸诈。 山姆：这样啊，看来中国的京剧还真的是博大精深啊！洋洋，你再多给我介绍一些京剧的知识吧。 洋洋：京剧是在中国流传的一种戏曲剧种，它往往被看作是中国戏曲艺术的代表，所以又称"国剧"。京剧是中国戏曲艺术以及传统文化的杰出代表，还被列入了人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录呢。除了专业的京剧表演者之外，在中国还有众多的京剧爱好者，他们被称为票友。 山姆：那京剧有哪些经典剧目和表演者呢？ 洋洋：京剧的经典众多，比如《霸王别姬》、《白蛇传》、《穆桂英挂帅》都是大家耳熟能详的经典曲目，它们都是根据中国著名的历史故事或者民间传说改编的。另外，京剧中从来也不缺乏名家大师，比如梅兰芳，京剧艺术向外传播就是从他开始的。中国还有两部同名电影《霸王别姬》和《梅兰芳》讲的就是京剧艺术家的故事。 山姆：听你这么一说，我还真得去听听中国的京剧，当一回票友呢。 （唱）蓝脸的窦尔敦盗御马，红脸的关公战长沙，黄脸的典韦，白脸的曹操，黑脸的张飞 ，叫喳喳......

YY: Haha, Sam, I can hear you singing from outside. What made you fall in love with this song "Story-telling and Singing with Lianpu"?
Sam: Lately I have been researching into Chinese Opera. I really love this particular piece.
YY: This piece that you just sang is about ancient China's personages dating back to the Three Kingdoms.
Sam: Right, but of those personages, I have only heard of Cao Cao because there is this saying that goes, "Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives." [i.e. speak of the devil]
YY: Yep, Cao Cao was an ambitious and ruthless person, and he had a reputation [for that.]
Sam: Yang Yang, can you tell me why these people are [painted] in so many different colors?
YY: Oh, what you're talking about is a major art in itself. In Chinese Opera, these colorful faces are known as lianpu [opera face-painting]. Different colors represent different meanings. For instance, blue color stands for someone who is upright and outspoken, red color means one's character is defined by loyalty and righteousness, and white color symbolizes a suspicious and treacherous character.
Sam: I see. Looks like Chinese Opera is really vast and deep! Yang Yang, can you tell me more about Peking Opera.
YY: Peking Opera is one of the different kinds of opera that has been handed down in China. It is frequently seen as a representative of Chinese opera art form, and hence, it is also known as our "national opera." Peking Opera being a Chinese opera art form, is also an outstanding representative of traditional culture. It has also been included in the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Apart from professional performers, there are many ardent fans of Peking Opera and they are known as amateur opera performers.
Sam: So, what are the classics in the repertoire of Peking Opera works and what about the performers?
YY: There are many classics in Peking Opera, for example, "Farewell My Concubine," "Madam White Snake," and "Lady General Mu Takes Command," all of which are classics which everyone is familiar with and can repeat in detail. They are based on famous historical accounts or adapted from folklore. Moreover, there has never been a shortage of renowned masters in Peking Opera. Take for example Mei Lanfang; he is the one instrumental in disseminating the Peking Opera art form abroad. There are also two movies in China, "Farewell, My Concubine" and "Forever Enthralled", both of which are stories about Chinese Opera performers.
Sam: Having heard what you have just said, I really must go watch the Chinese Opera, and have a stint as an amateur opera performer.
