Yam Seng,一起喊出的祝福
新加坡华人婚宴上,拉长声音的“Yam Seng”是熟悉的祝酒场面。新人、亲友和宾客一起举杯,祝福随着声音在宴席间传开。有人喊得响亮,有人在一旁笑着相和,各有参与的方式。比起一句人独自说完的话,这样的齐声祝愿,也留下了大家共同在场的记忆。
Yam Seng: a roomful of good wishes
The drawn-out call of “Yam Seng” is a familiar wedding toast in Singapore. The couple and their guests raise their glasses together as the sound carries across the room. Some join loudly; others smile along. The shared moment gives the gathering a memory of celebrating together, beyond any single person's words.
