017 Quality of a Musician 音乐家的素质

外国人讲:

In an entrance examination of a conservatory of music,a teacher asked one of the boys,“What is the most important physiological quality of a musician?”

“To be deaf,”replied the boy.

“Nonsense!”said the teacher angrily.

“Why,sir!Don’t you know that the famous musician Beethoven was deaf?”the boy asked in reply disdainfully.

在一次音乐学院的入学考试中,老师问其中一个男孩:“音乐家最重要的生理素质是什么?”
