全文翻译如下：
Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to concert of Chinese folk music.The piece which was played on the erhuespecially moved me.
我的一个中国朋友昨天晚上带我去听了一场中国民乐的音乐会。这首用二胡演奏的曲子特别打动了我。
The music was strangely beautiful,but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain.The piece had a simple name,Erquan Yingyue(Moon Reflected on Second Spring),but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I've ever heard.The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened.
曲子美得出奇，但在它的衬托下我感到了强烈的悲伤和痛苦。曲子的名字很简单，叫二泉映月，但这是我听过的最感人的音乐之一，二胡的声音很伤感，我听的时候几乎都跟着它哭了。
Later I looked up the history of Erquan yingyue,and I began to understand the sadness in the music.
后来，我把二泉映月的历史看了一遍，我开始明白音乐中的伤感。
The music was written by Abing,a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893 .His mother died when was very young.Abing's father taught him play many musical instruments,such as the drums,diziand erhu,and by age 17,Abing was known for his musical abiblity.
这首曲子是阿炳写的，一个1893年出生在无锡市的民间音乐家，他很小的时候母亲就去世了。阿炳的父亲教他演奏许多乐器，如鼓、笛子、二胡等，到17岁时，阿炳就以音乐才能闻名。
However,after his father died,Abing's life grew worse.He was very poor.Not only that,he developed a serious illness and became blind .For several years,he had no home.
然而，父亲去世后，阿炳的生活变得更糟。他非常贫穷，不仅如此，他得了重病变瞎了。几年来，他没有家。
He lived on the streets and played music to make money.Even after Abing got married and had a home again,he continued to sing and paly on the streets.He performed in this way for many years.
他在街上生活，他演奏音乐挣钱，甚至在阿炳结婚又有了家后，他还继续在街上唱歌和演奏，他用这种方法表演了很多年。
Abing's amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime.By the end of his life,he could play over 600 pieces of music.Many of these were written by Abing himself.
阿炳惊人的音乐技巧使他在有生之年非常受欢迎。到他生命的尽头，他可以演奏600多首乐曲。其中许多都是阿炳自己创作的。
It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for future world to hear,but his popularity continues to this day.Today, Abing'sErquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise.It has become one of China's national treasures.
遗憾的是总共只有六首曲子被录制下来供后世欣赏，但他的受欢迎程度一直持续到今天。今天，阿炳的《二泉映月》是所有二胡大师都在演奏和赞美的作品，它已成为中国的国宝之一。
Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing'own life but also makes people recall their deepest wounds from their own sad or painful experiences.
它的悲凉之美不仅描绘了阿炳自己的生活，也使人们回忆起他们内心深处的悲伤或痛苦经历。
