打击乐手 v.s. 指挥
[ 2007-05-21 08:00 ]
I was a percussion major when I was in university, and during a particular rehearsal of the student orchestra, my section kept getting things worse.
“When you’re too dumb to play anything,” the professor conducting us sneered, “they give you a couple of sticks, put you in the back and call you a percussionist.”"
A friend next to me whispered, “And if you’re too dumb to hang on to both sticks, they put you in front and call you a conductor.”
上大学时我主修打击乐,在一次学生交响乐队的彩排中,我所在的打击乐区表现不好,老是出错。
指挥我们的教授冷嘲热讽地说:“要是一个人笨到什么都不会演奏,我们就会给他两个小棍儿,让他到乐队后部去,我们管这样的人叫打击乐手。”
我身边的朋友悄悄对我说:“要是一个人连两个小棍儿都搞不定的话,就让他乐队最前面去,我们管这样的人叫指挥。”
