奧斯卡獲獎(jiǎng)電影《愛樂之城》中的《繁星之城》，你聽過嗎？

By the time the music faded away, the thunderous applause broke out, and I considered it the most exciting present for a performer. The enthusiastic cheers from my fellow schoolmates were the most unforgettable part of the dubbing competition for me.

Just one week before the final round of the competition, I was informed to give a performance,which meant that my partner and I only got one week to prepare for it. Fortunately, my partner Haoyu Qin, a fabulous singer and monitor of our class, quickly calmed down and told me to take it easy.Things went on quite smoothly and we decided on the song in less than two minutes, City of Stars from the Oscar-winning film La La Land. We were sure that the audience would love the rhythm of light jazz and the impressive chorus. In the following week, Haoyu and I practiced and practiced, whenever and wherever we were available: in the playground, dorm, classroom and even the canteen.

Finally came the final round of dubbing contest and we were anxiously waiting for our turn to perform. When the host announced that it was time for our performance. “You go first,” my partner whispered. “Okay,” I replied with a slight trembling voice. I came up on the stage amid clapping and cheering all over the lecture hall and went to my spot. When I looked back at Haoyu, she was looking at me, too. The glance of encouragement we got from each other lighted up the whole hall and made our nervousness gone. The audience quieted down and we started. Our voices caught everyone's attention immediately. When it came to the chorus of the song, some of my schoolmates couldn't help clapping their hands and I could even hear someone cheering. Everything was perfect. When the song came to the end, the applause seemed to last forever. We bowed to the audience sincerely, and then looked at each other with huge smiles on our faces.

I'm sure that I'll never forget that night. As the lyrics in City of Stars go, “City of stars, you never shined so brightly.” Indeed, that night is the brightest night that I have ever experienced.
