英語幽默精讀【92】Dis-Comcerting
I had been trying to get my friend Mike-a rock' n roll fan-interested in classical music. When I offered to purchase tickets to a Mozart festival, he willingly agreed to accompany me and seemed to enjoy the symphony.
After the concert, I mentioned how Mozart's music moved me. "At times, I can almost hear his voice in his music and I feel as though he's talking to me," I said.
Mike nodded his head in solemn agreement. "Yes," he said. "I know what you mean."
Feeling very pleased that I had made a "convert", I asked what he felt the music was saying to him.
He replied, "it said 'go to sleep, Michael. Go to sleep.

尷尬
我一直設法讓我朋友邁克――一個搖滾迷――對古典音樂感興趣。我主動提出購買兩張莫扎特紀念節的票，他很愿意伴隨我，而且似乎喜愛上了交響樂。
音樂會后，我捉到莫扎特的音樂如何感動了我?！坝行r候，我幾乎可以聽到他在音樂中的聲音，感覺到好像他在對我傾訴，”我說。
邁克嚴肅地點點頭表示贊成。“是的，”他說，“我懂你的意思?！?/p>
我為已使他轉變了興趣而非常得意，我問他是如何感受那音樂的。
他回答說：“交響樂對我說：”睡吧，邁克，睡吧。'“
