Disconcerting 令人不安

英語笑話

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.

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(jié)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?guī)缀蹩梢月牭剿谝魳分械穆曇?，感覺到好像他在對我傾訴，”我說。

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?！?/p>
