||1:Mr Leonhardt’s life-work was to persuade the world how beautiful the harpsichord was, and how the harpsichord repertoire should be played.||2:When he first fell in love with it, in the shape of the fairly bad instrument his parents bought for their house at Graveland in the Netherlands, he recognised it as the king of keyboards.||3:Organs were noble characters, and he played church organ for years.||4:Virginals were pleasing; he wrote a book on Flemish examples.||5:But fortepianos were awful, the sound muffling all over the place when the hammer hit the keys, which put him off playing his beloved Mozart; and modern grands were unspeakable.||6:None had that direct pluck of plectrum on string for which he loved the harpsichord—though that mechanism was also fearsomely exacting, even “diabolical”, and that was why he did not smile as he played.

||1:莱昂哈特先生的毕生心血都花在让世界了解羽管键琴是多么美好的一种乐器，以及应该怎样弹奏羽管键琴曲目上面。||2:当初，他父母替位于荷兰格雷弗兰村的房子买了一台音质很差的羽管键琴，从那时起他就爱上了这种乐器，认识到它是键盘乐器之王。||3:风琴具有高贵的特色，他曾在教堂弹奏多年的风琴。||4:小键琴则悦耳动听，他曾著过一本讨论弗兰芒小键琴的书。||5:但是古典钢琴糟透了，当琴槌敲出音调时到处都是压抑的声音，让他在弹奏他钟爱的莫扎特时大受打击，至于现代钢琴，简直糟得无法形容。||6:所有这些乐器都没有琴拨在琴弦上的直接拨动，而这正是他热爱羽管键琴的原因。不过同时要掌握这种发声机制也费劲得令人害怕，简直有如“恶魔”一般，这也是为什么他在演奏时从不微笑的原因。

||1:And some people wonder if Formula One can carry on charging governments so much to host races.||2:By expanding outside traditional markets in Europe, Formula One has been able to keep raising its fees; non-European governments such as Singapore’s or India’s pay two-fifths more on average to host Grands Prix than traditional markets.||3:For now, demand from governments comfortably exceeds the number of racing slots available.||4:Mr Ecclestone has no shortage of calls from countries such as C?te d’Ivoire and Bulgaria seeking the prestige of hosting a race.||5:Soon, however, they may be calling someone else.

||1:有些人怀疑F1还能否继续像现在这样向政府收取大量承办费用。||2:通过跳出欧洲传统市场进行扩张，F1已经可以持续不断地募集经费；非欧洲国家政府例如新加坡和印度，相比传统市场平均支付了举办大奖赛费用的五分之二。||3:目前，政府的需求远大于已有可用于比赛的赛道数量。||4:埃克莱斯顿呼吁像科特迪瓦和保加利亚这样，试图通过举办比赛增加威望的国家毫无压力。||5:不过不久之后，这些国家可能要联系其他人了。

Locals insist that a flow of public money must continue, backing small firms and start-ups rather than the grands projets of yesteryear.

当地人认为政府必须继续投入资金，支持小公司和新成立的企业，而非去年的一些大工程。

We have the courses, we have the grands , we have the incentives and we have the schemes to help them.

我们有课程，有资金，有激励政策及计划去帮助他们。

How about I give ya 100 grands , and you help my son to win this competition?

要不我给你十万块，你直接让我儿子赢了这场比赛，你意下如何？

One time, she was almost the winner on the spot because nobody could give 40 grands more than her offer.

曾有一次，在现场，海萍都快成佼佼者了，没人能出过她的在房东要价基础上多给4万的价钱。
