钢琴家pianist[英][ˈpɪənɪst] [美][piˈænɪst, ˈpiənɪst] 中英文小故事：年轻钢琴家的故事 麦克是个很有前途的年轻钢琴家。可弹琴的时候，他老觉得自己的手生硬得像铁一样。他非常担心自己的演奏，对别人的评价过分敏感。遗憾的是，在那个年代，人们认为评论家给别人挑不出点儿错的话，他就不是个评论家。评论家的态度经常让年轻人产生放弃梦想，打道回府的想法。 一次，麦克应邀到芬兰首都赫尔辛基演奏。那些富人、名人，甚至国家领导人都来了。麦克那天事事不顺，当晚的音乐会上.他觉得这是他年轻的音乐生涯中演奏得最差的一次。第二天的报纸上，一些评论家对音乐会的评论非常刻薄，充满讽刺。这个年轻的音乐家被压垮了。那天，麦克坐在旅馆的房间里，完全绝望了。后来，传来敲门声，有客人来访了。原来是芬兰作曲家让•西贝柳斯顺路前来祝贺年轻钢琴家的精彩演出。麦克问让•西贝柳斯怎么会认为他的演出精彩呢。麦克还引用了一些报纸上的评论。“铁一般的手，没有想象力，缺乏技巧，没有激情。难道您没听到他们的评价吗？”麦克问。 让•西贝柳斯望着年轻的麦克说：“记住，孩子，世界上没有任何一个城市会为评论家建造塑像的。” A Young Pianist’s Story Michael was a promising young pianist. But when the young man played，it seemed to him，as if his hands were iron. He worried so much about his playing that he became over sensitive to the reviews of his playing. Unfortunately， in those days，a critic was not considered a critic，unless he found something wrong. This attitude of the critics would often leave the young man ready to give up his dream and return home. He was invited to play in Helsinki. The rich， the famous， the leaders of State were all there. Michael had one of those days where everything went wrong. That night as he played, he felt as if it were the worst papers，some of the reviews were acrid and full of irony. The young musician was crushed. That day, as he sat in his hotel room，he was in total despair. Later, there came a knocking at his door. He had a visitor. The famous Finnish composer Jean Sibelius had come by to congratulate the young pianist for his performance. Michael asked how he thought of that and began to quote some of the newspaper critics. “Hands of iron. No imagination. Little skill. No passion. Don’t you hear what they say?” he asked. Jean Sibelius looked at young Michael and said，“Remember, son，there is no city in the world where they have erected a statue to a critic. ” 中英文例句 1.
