4.Do you know Roma people?They were called Gypsies(吉普赛人) by Europeans because they thought they came from Egypt(a country in Africa).About a thousand years ago,the Roma people left their homeland.They are known as nomads because for hundreds of years many of them have lived in large groups that travel from place to place.They have no real homeland.Today,the Roma are now living all over the world.They have kept their language and many customs.For example,it's important for Roma to marry other Roma.It's also a custom for parents to choose the person their children will marry.Roma people get married when they are young,sometimes even as young as 14.
Romany is the language of the Roma people,which was written down only recently.Because the Roma are nomadic and have moved all over the world,their language has developed in many different ways.It is sometimes hard for Roma in one part of the world to understand Roma from another part.
Roma music is famous all over the world,because many Roma throughout history have been musicians.Their music has influenced many other kinds of music,like classical and jazz.
Roma don't usually assimilate(同化) into host countries.Over many centuries,governments have forbidden them to marry each other,travel or wear their traditional bright clothes.They have their gold taken away from them---treasures (财富) from their parents and grandparents.They have been taken as slaves(奴隶),and have been forced to change their names.
But today,the Roma are finding ways to live in peace with others while keeping the treasures of their culture."There's a will within us to continue to live as a people,"says George Kaslov,whose family arrived in New York from Russia a hundred years ago."All the other ethnic(种族) groups who came to America assimilate gradually with time going; they lose their customs and language.But not the Roma.We hold out."

分析 你知道罗姆人吗?欧洲人称他们为吉普赛人,这是因为欧洲人认为他们是埃及(非洲的一个国家)来的.大约一千年以前,罗姆人离开了他们的家乡.都知道他们是游牧民族,这是因为几百年来,他们以大的部落形式不停地从一个地方迁移到另一个地方.他们没有真正的家.
今天,罗姆人居住在世界各地.他们保持着他们的语言和许多习俗.例如,罗姆人嫁给罗姆人这是很重要的.对于父母来说,为孩子挑选将要结婚的人,这也是罗姆人的风俗.罗姆人在很年轻的时候就可以结婚,有时甚至14岁就可以结婚. 吉普赛语是吉普赛人的语言,直到最近才被记录下来.因为罗姆人是游牧民族,并搬到了世界各地,所以他们的语言以不同的方式得到了发展.有时,一个地方的罗姆人很难理解另一个地方的罗姆人说的话. 罗姆音乐闻名全球,是因为在历史上很多罗姆人成了音乐家.他们的音乐影响了许多其他的音乐,比如古典音乐和爵士乐. 通常,罗姆人不会被所在国同化.许多世纪以来,政府禁止他们互相通婚,旅行或者穿着他们的明亮的衣服.政府把他们的金子夺走,甚至他们父母或者祖母的财宝都被夺走.他们还被当作奴隶,甚至还强迫他们更改自己的名字. 但是今天,罗姆人以及找到了和其他人和睦共处的一种生活方式,同时还保留着自己文化瑰宝.乔治•卡斯洛夫的家人在一百年前的时候从俄罗斯搬到了纽约,他说道:"我们有一个愿望,那就是像一个民族一样生存下去.所有迁移到美国去的其他种族,随着时间的流逝已经被同化了,他们丧失了自己的习俗和语言.但是我们罗姆人不会,我们坚持住了."
