一袭洁白的连衣裙
一条象征命脉相连的红色丝绸
来自美国的苏贝妮
用一段原创的现代芭蕾
在iSuzhou2020外国人才艺荟的舞台上
柔美又坚韧地舞动着
她每一次伸展、旋转、跳跃......
每一个舞姿都在为大家讲述着
这不平凡的2020年
A pure white dress,
and red silk symbolizing
the connection of lives
Bethany from the United States
danced her original choreography of modern ballet
beautifully and passionately
on the stage of
2020 Suzhou International Grand Talent Show
Each of her movements
told stories of this unusual 2020.
疫情期间，发生了许多扣人心弦的故事
作为抗“疫”志愿者之一的苏贝妮深有体会
“我在苏州生活了6年了，
早已经深深地爱上了苏州。
社区的工作人员是我们遇到的特别好的朋友，
在这里生活和工作的时候，我们也会遇到一些困难，
但是我知道有人可以帮我们，
所以从来不担心、也不会紧张。
疫情期间，我积极报名志愿者。
虽然我是外国人，但我也是苏州的居民，
我也应该为苏州的疫情防控尽一份力，
让苏州变得更美好!”
Many affecting stories
came from the epidemic period.
As one of the volunteers
who fought against the "epidemic",
Bethany has deep experience.
"I have lived in Suzhou for six years.
I loved Suzhou deeply.
The staffs of our community are good friends.
Living and working here,
we also encounter some difficulties,
but I know there are people who can help us,
so we don't need to feel worried.
During the epidemic,
my husband and I served as volunteers.
Although I am a foreigner,
I am also a resident of Suzhou,
so I also should contribute to the prevention
and control of the epidemic situation
and support Suzhou! "
△ 苏贝妮和丈夫帮助城邦社区工作人员排查返苏人员、宣传防疫知识。
Bethany and her husband helped the community staffto investigate the returning workers and publicize the knowledge of epidemic prevention.
偶然之间，她听到了一首曲子
便被旋律深深吸引了
“这首歌曲非常优美，
在我了解每一句歌词之后
就被深深地震撼和打动了
身为一名舞者，我们习惯用舞蹈传递情感
而听到曲子的当下，我只有一个念头
就是为这它编一段强有力的舞蹈
并且献给所有勇敢、坚强
参与过抗“疫”的人。”
By chance, she heard a piece of music
and was deeply attracted by the melody.
"This song is very beautiful and full of emotion.
After understanding the words
and the meaning behind them,
I was even more touched.
As a dancer, dancing has always been my way of
sharing a message or story with those watching.
So I felt that I should create a strong and passionate
to match the words and share it with all the
brave and strong people
who participated in the fight against the epidemic."
而这段舞蹈所用的背景音乐
《若你也曾见过他们》
是来自苏州的西交利物浦大学的学生JMJ
在疫情期间所做的原创歌曲
这首歌被共青团中央点赞
并作为央视纪录片频道
《武汉：我的战“疫”日记》第四集的片尾曲播出
The background music used in this dance
is an original song created by JMJ
during the epidemic.
JMJ is a student of
Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University
This song was spreaded widely.
一句句歌词直击心灵
让我们边听边泪流满面
2020尽管有风雪，但风雪中总有希望
山河无恙，人间皆安。
让我们一起为这些用心的原创作者们点赞!
一起为勇敢的抗“疫”使者们点赞!
The lyrics hit to the heart and moved us deeply.

there is always hope.
