Discussion

Is music a universal language? Can you enjoy music from other parts of the world even if you don’t understand the words? Are there any other universal languages? What about dancing, paintings and photographs?

Proverbs: 1. Music expresses that which can’t be

said and on which it is impossible to be silent. (Victo Hugo)

2. Music is the eye of the ear. 音乐是耳朵的眼睛。

Possible answers: Victo Hugo( 维克多 · 雨果 ) once said: “Music expresses that which can’t be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” Music is a universal language, by which we can communicate with other people. Although we don’t understand the words, we can still enjoy music from

other parts of the world. We can feel the meaning by the sounds and rhythms. I think there are some other universal language besides music, such as dancing, painting and photographs. They are all talking about something and expressing some ideas and feelings in different ways.
