第6期:王子的故事

亲爱的Christoph，我一直在想你说的王子的故事。

Dear Christoph, I’ve been thinking about your story about the prince.

Christoph，我认为王子并不是害怕贝多芬。

Christoph, I don’t think the prince is afraid of Beethoven.

我觉得他是尊重贝多芬。

I believe he is showing him respect.

在维也纳，大家都是特别喜欢音乐。甚至连王子殿下都是小心翼翼地对待作曲家。

In Vienna, everyone loves music so much, that even a prince will treat carefully around a composer.

你是否注意过维也纳到处都充满了音乐?

Have you ever noticed how much music there is in your city?

我记得我上次在那儿的时候，

I remember the last time I was there.

你还很小。

You were still quite small.

一天清晨，我出去散步。

I went for a walk one morning

事实上，也就是那天早晨，让我决定了以后要住在这里。

in fact, it was that morning I decided I would someday make my living there.

我走在你家附近的一座桥上时，我听见了军乐队在我身后演奏。

I was crossing the bridge near your house when I heard, approaching from the direction I’d come ... a military band.

我停下来，聆听着。

I stopped to listen.

当他们走过了，我才继续过桥。我发现一位街头手风琴师也停了下来，聆听军乐队的演奏。

When they had passed by, I continued to cross the bridge to find an organ grinder had stopped to listen, too.

他的小猴子，依偎在主任的肩上，脑袋往前探着注视着主人的脸。

His little monkey – perched on his shoulder – leaned forward to look into his master’s face.

那天早晨，在桥边我还听到了很多音乐。

And there was more to hear that morning near the bridge.

沿着河岸，我遇到了一群乡村舞者。

I met, along the river bank, a troupe of country dancers.

他们在街头跳舞卖艺。

They had come to dance for money in the street.

继续往前走，当我从窗户下面走过时，一支小曲从窗户里传了出来。

Farther on, I passed under a window and heard a little song come drifting out.

我看见一位老妇人来到窗前，一边听着乐曲一边点头。

As I watched, an old woman came to the window, nodding her head to the tune.

可能是她的学生正在弹奏。

Perhaps it was her student who was playing.

我还记得一个小拐角处。

And I remember a little square.

不能告诉你确切的位置，但是我还记得有位小姑娘追赶鸽子的情形。

I could not tell you where it was, but I recall the sight of a small girl chasing pigeons.

有两位绅士在那里碰面，握手。

There were two gentlemen meeting and shaking hands,

我还记得高高的城市钟在报时。

and I remember the hour striking on a tall city clock.

钟面是开放式的，一个小小的樵夫跑了出来，追赶在他后面的是只小狐狸。

The clock face opened and a tiny woodsman came running out, chased by a tiny fox.

明天，我要和朋友去波恩。那是贝多芬先生的故乡。

Tomorrow, I am going with friends to Bonn, the city where Beethoven was born.

相信在那儿，我会发现一些故事。回头告诉你。

I know I will find something to tell you about.
