1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Music is one of the most beautiful languages in the world. Through music, the musicians tell the stories and express their feelings.

Among the Chinese folk music, the pieces of music played on erhu are especially moving. The piece named Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring) is one of them. 1. When people listen to this piece of music, they can sense both the beauty and the sadness in it.

The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. 2. 阿炳的音乐技巧让他非常受欢迎。 By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. 3. It is a pity that only 6 pieces of his music in total were recorded, but his popularity continues to this day. 4. Today, Abing’s Erquan Yingyue is a piece which all the greatest erhu masters play and praise.

Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing’s own life but also makes people recall their deepest wounds from their own sad or painful experiences. 5. 它已经成为了中国的文化瑰宝之一。
