萨顶顶假唱这事儿：拿反麦克风我也是醉了。。。

 A well-known Chinese popstar accidentally revealed she was lip-synching instead of singing during a televised concert by brandishing¹ her microphone the wrong way around.

知名中国流行歌手在电视直播音乐会上拿反话筒，一个明显的翻转话筒动作一不留神就暴露了假唱。

Sa Dingding, a 32-year-old folk singer-songwriter from Inner Mongolia, was performing at the Lantern Festival Gala broadcast on channel CCTV 15 when the embarrassing faux-pas occurred.

萨顶顶今年32岁，来自内蒙古，是名创作型民歌歌手。当时她正为央视15套的元宵节直播晚会献演，不想表演失误，颇为尴尬。

Opening the song with a section of interpretive dance, the star only realised she was holding her microphone upside down when she began singing. Sa smiled sheepishly as she quickly reverses her mistake before carrying on with her performance like a true professional as if nothing had happened.

歌曲开场是一段形意舞，而歌星直到开嗓才意识到麦克风拿反了。萨顶顶一窘，微笑着迅速修正错误，拿出专业歌手的台风，若无其事地继续演出。

After the broadcast ended, Sa reportedly took to Sina Weibo to tell her 1.6 million followers²: 'Next time I'll sharpen up my acting³ skills'. However, the post does not exist on Sa's account this morning. It's unclear whether or not she has taken it down.

直播结束后，据报道称，萨顶顶在微博上告诉160万粉丝：“下次演得精细些”。不过，今晨这条微博从萨顶顶的账号下消失了，尚不知是不是她自己删除的。

Some internet commenters were not surprised, believing lip-synching is not uncommon⁴ in China. Others on Weibo argued Sa Dingding made her error on purpose to expose that she was asked to lip-sync by the director of the show.

一些网评人并不惊讶，认为假唱在中国屡见不鲜。另有人在微博上称，萨顶顶故意犯此错误，是为了爆出假唱出演是导演的意思。

Sa, who released her sixth LP 'The Butterfly Dream' in November last year,is known to sing in languages including Mandarin,Sanskrit, Tibetan, as well an imaginary language of her own creation.

萨顶顶去年十一月发布了第六张大碟《周庄梦蝶集》。据悉萨顶顶会用多种语言歌唱，包括普通话、梵语、和藏语等，还会一门她自己独创的假想语言来歌唱。
