Does Anyone Have any Xiangsheng videos with Subtitles?


Recommended Posts

Pretty much as title, I'm in China so I can access youku and similar platforms. I think I'd like to be able to watch a few with the subtitles on to gain a greater understanding of what its all about.

 

Thanks, Richard.

@RichS did you mean English subtitles?  相声 (crosstalk) is very difficult to translate, much is untranslatable. Here is the only one I could find, at least it will give you an idea. I hope you can access YouTube:

侯宝林 相声《醉酒》(English subtitle)

This clip is the subtitled version of the one @Publius suggests above.

 

Since many crosstalk clips have Chinese subs, it would be quite interesting to download the Chinese transcript/srt file and work on it as a language study project.

I don't think the OP is looking for English subtitles. He passed HSK 6. Plus Youku isn't where you would expect anything other than Chinese.

Tempted to watch one with English subs to see if they can make more the a few of the jokes work. Not a translation job I'd fancy.

Thanks for your efforts Luxi, but I did mean Chinese subs, Crosstalk seems to be one of the few things that doesn't seem to have it much.

Oh, well, the intentions were good :shrug:

I think the skits in last year's Spring Festival Gala shown in CCTV 4 had Chinese subs.

Search 欢乐喜剧人 (can add 相声) on Youku (or your platform of choice...) and there are some with subtitles.
