我喜欢音乐,休息的时候偶尔会创作一些原创歌曲。

A: This hobby of yours reminds me that recently in Chongqing a bunch of university students from different schools created a song to support the fight against the epidemic.    

你这个爱好让我想到最近在重庆,来自不同学校的本地大学生为了支持抗疫而联合创作了一首说唱歌曲。

这听起来真不错。这首歌里都有什么内容呢?

(zhè tīnɡqǐlái zhēn bùcuò. zhèshǒuɡē lǐ dōuyǒu shenme nèirónɡ ne?)

A: Some university students used rap music to express their respect for medical workers, while other university students used rap to describe the warm stories that have been taking place around them during the epidemic.

有些大学生用说唱音乐表达了对医护人员的敬意,有些大学生则是用说唱描述了在抗疫期间身边的暖心故事。

(yǒuxiē dàxuéshēnɡ yònɡ shuōchànɡ yīnyuè biǎodále duì yīhù rényuán de jìnɡyì, yǒuxiē dàxuéshēnɡ zéshì yònɡ shuōchànɡ miáoshùle zài kànɡyì qījiān shēnbiān de nuǎnxīn ɡùshì.)
