每个小男孩都有一个武侠梦，英歌舞就是我们潮汕地区的一个武侠梦。大家觉得画上一个脸谱，在里面敲个锣，他穿一身小将袍也好，他会觉得这是一个很酷的事情。
Every little boy has a martial arts dream, and Yingge dance is a martial arts dream in our Chaozhou area. Everyone thinks that painting a face on a mask and banging a gong inside, whether he wears a little general's robe or not, he will feel that this is a very cool thing.
英歌舞起源是潮汕地区劳动百姓他们在干农活这些形象形态。不同时代的那些艺人去把它创造。根据水浒传里面的《三十六天罡攻打大名府营救卢俊义》把这个故事的人物搬到这里来。宋江是水浒传里面的头领，扮演打鼓，指挥信号。时迁，他是一个探子，跑在最前面的，带头开路。英歌舞在我们潮汕地区的形成，也是一种团结的精神。
The origin of the Yingge dance is the image of the laboring common people in the Chaoshan region while they are working in the fields. Artists from different eras created it. The characters from the story "The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Attack the Daming Mansion to Rescue Lu Junyi" in "Water Margin" are brought here. Song Jiang is the leader in "Water Margin," playing the drum and signaling. Shi Qian is a scout, running at the front and leading the way. The formation of the Yingge dance in our Chaoshan region also embodies a spirit of unity.
我叫洪少华，我们家是英歌舞世家。
My name is Hong Shaohua, and my family is a family of English song and dance.
西岐英歌队是我爷爷他自己一手创造的，因为是我们比较早打出了一个名堂，大家就争相去模仿。
The Xiqi English Choir was created by my grandfather himself, and because we made a name for ourselves relatively early, everyone rushed to imitate us.
哎，你们好，那个队长在吗？
Hi, hello, is the captain there?
在的，在这里
Yes, here
你好，我是西门女子英歌舞队的队长吴燕花，我今天看你们表演就觉得很精彩，就有个大胆的想法，想要找个机会跟你们切磋切磋，可以吗？
Hello, I am Wu Yanhua, the captain of the Ximen Women's Singing and Dancing Troupe. I watched your performance today and found it very wonderful. I have a bold idea and would like to find an opportunity to exchange ideas with you. Is that okay?
女子英歌舞队的
Women's English Song and Dance Troupe
对，我们是女子英歌舞队的
Yes, we are the women's English song and dance troupe
不要吧
Don't
不要啊，为啥呢
No, why not?
女子不太好吧
It's not good for women, right?
就觉得好男不跟女斗是吧
Just think that good men don't fight with women, right?
嗯
但是在我的观念里面，我觉得女子也不输男呐。
But in my view, I think women are no less than men.
英歌舞里面是有女角色的，但是那些女角色还是男生去扮演。我就在想，为什么男生可以，女生不可以？
In English opera and dance, there are female roles, but those female roles are played by boys. I was wondering, why can boys do it, but girls cannot?
西门乡，以前有一帮老女子英歌舞队，1952年的时候就组织了，中间有一些客观变化，停止了训练。在2011年的时候就重新召集人马，再次组建了这个西门女子英歌舞队。
Ximen Township used to have a group of elderly women's English song and dance troupe, which was organized in 1952. Due to some objective changes, training was halted. In 2011, the troupe was reassembled and the Ximen Women's English Song and Dance Troupe was reestablished.
你们觉得可以吗
Do you think it's okay?
可以
can
可以吗
Is it okay?
可以
can
大家觉得可以就可以吧
If everyone thinks it's okay, then it's okay
其实，当时我接受到这么一个邀请的时候，我还是想着说不要，赢了也不光彩，输了更不好看。后面想了一下，我们男队女队，都是日日夜夜的去训练，付出了很多的一个努力，才去有这么一个完整的一个队伍。我们是可以去跟女队她们碰一碰，看看可以擦出什么样的火花。
In fact, when I received such an invitation at that time, I was still thinking of saying no; winning wouldn't be honorable, and losing would be even worse. After thinking about it, our men's and women's teams have been training day and night, putting in a lot of effort to form such a complete team. We can go and compete with the women's team and see what kind of sparks we can create.
咱们女子应该要跟男子应该来一场PK，男子应该能做到，女子应该也能做到。
We women should have a PK with men; if men can do it, women should be able to do it too.
有没有愿意跟我去迎接这这次挑战
Is there anyone willing to join me in facing this challenge?
有
要去的报名举手
Raise your hand if you want to sign up
哇你们这么多人啊！那咱们抓紧训练
Wow, there are so many of you! Let's hurry up and train
转，对了
Turn, that's right
陈教练，要加这个动作吗？你看了这么多人，就俩学会了
Coach Chen, should we add this move? You've seen so many people, and only two have learned it
如果是要拿这些男生的敲英歌的力量来比女生的力量，我就想问，那女生可以生孩子，男生怎么办？
If we are to compare the strength of these boys' ability to sing English songs with the strength of girls, I would like to ask, what can boys do if girls can give birth?
它是一个传统的一种舞蹈。我有想过创新，最近我有排一个新的一个阵法，叫“卐”字型。传统啊一直是从头表演到尾，我会把它做一个中断，中断之后会吹响一个号角，我再把这个战鼓擂起来，大家都士气又高涨。
It is a traditional type of dance. I have thought about innovation, and recently I have arranged a new formation called the "卐" shape. Traditionally, it has always been performed from beginning to end, but I will create an interruption. After the interruption, a horn will be sounded, and then I will beat the war drum, raising everyone's spirits.
很想要表现一下自己，那一刻就很激动，就跑过去，就有点把女队给推过去了。如果说我们过度去谦让，反倒不尊重她们。看你是女孩子，那我就让吧，这反而不会给那些女孩子更好的一个表现机会。
I really wanted to show myself, and at that moment I was very excited, so I ran over and kind of pushed the girls' team aside. If we overly defer, it actually disrespects them. If I see you are a girl, then I will let you go, but that won't give those girls a better opportunity to perform.
好像带了一帮假女孩子一样，在练英歌那股刚强的，坚持不懈的精神，代表我们潮阳的英歌舞。有男子英歌，也要有女子英歌。
It seems like bringing a group of fake girls, practicing the strong and persistent spirit of the English song, representing our Chao Yang's English dance. There is male English song, and there should also be female English song.
每个地方的人都有每个地方的一个文化。我们潮汕就是有英歌队伍，他就是一个文化的一个象征。
Every place has its own culture. Our Chaozhou-Shantou region has the English song team, which is a symbol of our culture.
我曾经是想过放弃，那些孩子自愿找上我，要学习这个英歌舞，所以我就接下来继续走下去。
I once thought about giving up, but those children voluntarily came to me to learn this English song and dance, so I continued on.
女英歌舞的话，她就带有柔美的一面；男子的话，他可以更粗犷一些。各有各的好，各有各的优点。
In terms of female English songs and dances, they have a gentle side; for men, they can be a bit more rugged. Each has its own merits and advantages.
有些人会慢慢去老去，有些人会长大，感慨时间吧，时间一到，每个人他该做什么事情，他就会去做什么事情，好像是注定的样子。
Some people will slowly grow old, some people will grow up. Reflect on time; when the time comes, everyone will do what they are meant to do, as if it were destined.
有了女子队之后就圆了我一个梦，英歌舞已经融入了我生活的一部分。
After having the women's team, I fulfilled a dream; English song and dance have already become a part of my life.
