For my birthday this year, our long-time fans booked a ship for the entire Yun-Han Opera Troupe on which to admire the full moon. As this was the request of our adoring supporters, we of course decided to go.

I discussed matters with everyone and, seeing how devoted our fans are, we agreed that it was best to repay them in at least some small part with a performance.

Upon the sea and beneath the moon, accompanied by the sound of the waves... I think this song is best suited to the scene:

"The frosty disk of the full moon rises upon a lonely island, life fleeting as a pleasant dream, let me raise my cup with open heart and drink to my soul's satisfaction."

To spend my birthday creating beautiful memories with friends and those who love and appreciate opera fills me with joy.

I hope that you might be a part of those memories, but as I am unsure if you have a free moment, I am writing you this letter of invitation.

Should you wish to join me in scene and song beneath the moon, then do come along!

今年生日，老戲迷們包了船請我們?nèi)坪采绲娜速p月。這是觀眾厚愛，我們自然要去。

I discussed matters with everyone and, seeing how devoted our fans are, we agreed that it was best to repay them in at least some small part with a performance.

我和大家商量了一番，覺得既然戲迷如此抬愛，我們至少得回饋大家一折好戲。

Upon the sea and beneath the moon, accompanied by the sound of the waves... I think this song is best suited to the scene:

海上月下，風潮聲中，唱這一折是最應(yīng)景的：

"The frosty disk of the full moon rises upon a lonely island, life fleeting as a pleasant dream, let me raise my cup with open heart and drink to my soul's satisfaction."

「海島冰輪初轉(zhuǎn)騰，人生在世如歡夢，且自開懷飲幾盅…」

To spend my birthday creating beautiful memories with friends and those who love and appreciate opera fills me with joy.

能在生日這天和懂戲愛戲的朋友們留下美好的回憶，我由衷地感到幸福。

I hope that you might be a part of those memories, but as I am unsure if you have a free moment, I am writing you this letter of invitation.

Should you wish to join me in scene and song beneath the moon, then do come along!

我希望這份回憶中也有你，但不知你是否有閑暇，因此寫信相邀。如果你愿意同我一道月下賞戲，就一起來吧。
