蔬菜乐器奏出美妙乐音
<p>胡萝卜、红薯、土豆、莲藕等蔬菜还能当乐器，你听说过吗？来自安徽省的两兄弟用他们的出色表演告诉我们，这些蔬菜乐器也能奏出美妙乐音。南卫东、南卫平两兄弟来自安徽省的一个菜农家庭，从小在蔬菜堆里长大。因为父亲是音乐老师，所以他们自小学习中国传统乐器演奏。两年前，兄弟俩突发奇想，开始研究用蔬菜制作乐器并演奏。红薯制成了陶笛，竹笋变成了长笛，几个胡萝卜连接在一起就成了中国传统乐器排箫；而这些蔬菜乐器的音调高低和音准都由他们手工钻出来的孔眼大小和深度决定。另外，蔬菜原料的新鲜程度也颇为重要。放置了几天的蔬菜，因为水份已经蒸发，制成的乐器音调就会偏高。</p><p><span word="Vendors">Vendors</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="local">local</span> <span word="market">market</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Beijing">Beijing</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="forgiven">forgiven</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="thinking">thinking</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="Nan">Nan</span> <span word="Weidong">Weidong</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Nan">Nan</span> <span word="Weiping">Weiping</span> <span word="run">run</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="restaurant">restaurant</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bags">bags</span> <span word="stuffed">stuffed</span> <span word="full">full</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="vegetables">vegetables</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="brothers">brothers</span> <span word="lug">lug</span> <span word="back">back</span> <span word="home">home</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="used">used</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="very">very</span> <span word="different">different</span> <span word="purpose">purpose</span> -- <span word="musical">musical</span> <span word="instruments">instruments</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="grew">grew</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="surrounded">surrounded</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="vegetables">vegetables</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="China">China</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="central">central</span> <span word="Anhui">Anhui</span> <span word="province">province</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="music">music</span> <span word="teacher">teacher</span> <span word="father">father</span> <span word="encouraged">encouraged</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="learn">learn</span> <span word="conventional">conventional</span> <span word="instruments">instruments</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="young">young</span> <span word="age">age</span>. <span word="As">As</span> <span word="teenagers">teenagers</span>, <span word="they">they</span> <span word="joined">joined</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="local">local</span> <span word="theatrical">theatrical</span> <span word="troupe">troupe</span>.</p><p><span word="But">But</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="wasn">wasn</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="until">until</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="years">years</span> <span word="ago">ago</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="thought">thought</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="making">making</span> <span word="instruments">instruments</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="vegetables">vegetables</span>, <span word="an">an</span> <span word="idea">idea</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="fascinated">fascinated</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="ever">ever</span> <span word="since">since</span>.</p><p><span word="They">They</span> <span word="now">now</span> <span word="live">live</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="work">work</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="narrow">narrow</span> <span word="Beijing">Beijing</span> <span word="apartment">apartment</span>, <span word="drilling">drilling</span> <span word="holes">holes</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="carrots">carrots</span>, <span word="marrows">marrows</span>, <span word="lotus">lotus</span> <span word="roots">roots</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Chinese">Chinese</span> <span word="yams">yams</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="testing">testing</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="pitch">pitch</span> <span word="against">against</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="old">old</span> <span word="electronic">electronic</span> <span word="tuner">tuner</span> -- <span word="nibbling">nibbling</span> <span word="silently">silently</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="shavings">shavings</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="while">while</span>.</p>
