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.

中国人讲:
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?”
“耳聋,”男孩答道。
“胡说!”老师气愤地说。
男孩轻蔑地反问道:“怎么了,先生!难道您不知道大名鼎鼎的音乐家贝多芬是个聋子吗?”
