英语翻译
When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance,the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list Music is nice,people seem to say,but not important.Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment,but certainly not an education priority(优先)．This view is shortsighted.In fact,music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are.Because music is an expression of the beings who create it,it reflects their thinking and values,as well as the social environment it came from.Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song.The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.Music expresses our character and values.It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way.Science can explain how the sun rises and sets.The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon.We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason：No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols.They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other.They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears,our curiosities,our hungers,our discoveries,our hopes.The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others.When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music,we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human.The arts do.Music is an important way we express human suffering,celebration,the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

楼上些人真是不负责任 机器一翻就行?你自己能读的懂么?!
当学生和家长们被要求将学习科目按照重要程度排名的时候,排在最后的总是最没用得艺术.人们似乎觉得音乐是美好的,但并不重要的.它往往被视做是为人们娱乐消遣,但肯定不是一个在教育中排首位的学科,这一观点是一种偏见.事实上,音乐教育是对所有学生都有益、并且重要的.
音乐告诉我们,我们是谁.因为音乐表达了创作他的人的观点,它反映了他们的思想和价值观、以及创作这个音乐的环境背景.摇滚音乐表达的是一样像舒伯特风格的生活方式.受爵士音乐的影响,乔治·格什温和其他音乐家的作品都带有浓重的美式风格,因为爵士音乐来自美国传统音乐.音乐表达了我们的性格和价值观,它给了我们做为一个人的认知.
音乐赋予了我们一种其他途径无法获得的感知能力.科学能解释太阳的升降.艺术探究的是情感的起落现象.我们需要用所有可能的途径,来发现和回应我们的世界的一个简单但却强有力的理由：没有一种方法可以完美的诠释它.艺术的思维模式就像数学和科学的符号交流一样强力,它是我们人类之间相互交流的方式.它们是语言的文明,我们通过它们来表达恐惧、好奇、需求、发现和希望,艺术为人们之间分享想法和想象提供了一种方式.如果我们不教会孩子们像音乐那样重要的表达自己的方式,我们就剥夺了他们理解音乐真正表达的意义的机会.
科学和技术无法告知我们做人的意义.但是艺术却可以.音乐是我们表达人类的痛苦、欢乐、和平和爱的内涵的重要方式.
因此 音乐远比人们想象的要重要.
