日本有一个非常有名的童谣,叫“Machibouke”,原来中国的老故事嘛!

Machibouke,是什么呀?你能不能介绍一下
Apr 17th 2009 15:45 Marie



作词北原白秋,他是个非常有名的词作家。
我以为这是日本传统的故事,看你的日记才知道原来是个中国故事。
在历史上我们向你们学过很多很多事:)

听不懂。。。我找了米良美一,发现介绍他是男的,哈哈我一直以为是女声在唱,耳朵被骗了~
中国著名京剧大师梅兰芳就是因为擅长旦角(女角)闻名的。
Machibouke是什么,还是麻烦你介绍一下吧^_^
古代中国影响了周边很多国家,但是近代变得落后了,历史上可能日本向中国学习得多,但是现在中国在向日本学习,而且现代很多新词汇什么的,都是从日本传到中国的,而且现在世界上恐怕也只有日语和汉语最近了,我们都有共用的汉字,而韩语、越南语它们都改用拼音文字了。这样互相学习其实挺好的,希望两国能够一直互相交流、发展、提高

Machibouke就是日语,这首歌的名字,白等的意思。
日本人都知道这首童谣,但我猜很少人知道这故事本来从中国来的。
歌词的内容就是你介绍的守株待兔的故事:)

噢那我明白了,其实故事从哪里来的并不重要啦,又不是在考古,能够起到教育人的作用就好:) 其实世界各地文化有时候往往有“异曲同工”之妙,一个国家的说法可能在其他国家也有相应的故事,说不定日本的一些故事在中国可能也有不同的版本呢
