8.The End of the Story

8.故事的结局

Sir Anthony Evans turned to me. 'That competition was the start of wonderful things for me,' he said. 'I went to the College of Music for three years. Of course, I worked hard, but I enjoyed every minute. I always went back to the farm for my holidays. And one summer, when I was twenty, I asked Miss Linda Wood a very important question. "I can't give you much, Linda," I told her. "But one day I shall be rich and famous. Then I'll come back again, and I'll ask you to marry me." She gave me a long, loving look. Then she laughed. "Oh, Anthony," she said. "Don't wait until you're rich and famous. Ask me now!" So I did — and here we are!'

安东尼·埃文斯爵士朝我转过身来。“对我而言，那场比赛是所有美好的一切的开端，”他说道，“我去音乐学院上了三年学。当然我学得很刻苦，但是每一刻我都乐在其中。每逢假期，我总是回到农场。在我20岁的那个暑假里，我问了琳达·伍德小姐一个重要的问题。‘琳达，我现在给不了你太多，’我告诉她，‘但有朝一日我会功成名就的。那时，我会回到这里，请求你嫁给我。’她深情地、久久地看着我，然后笑了。‘哦，安东尼，’她说，‘不要等到你功成名就的时候，现在就好!’于是我就向她求婚了——就是这样!”

'We've been married for sixty years. Five years ago, the Queen invited us to Buckingham Palace. I was Mr Anthony Evans when I went into the Palace. I was Sir Anthony Evans when I came out... and,' — he took his wife's hand — 'my dear Linda was Lady Evans.'

“我们结婚已经60年了。五年前，女王陛下邀请我们去白金汉宫。进去的时候我是‘安东尼·埃文斯先生’，出来的时候，我就成了‘安东尼·埃文斯爵士’……”他握住了妻子的手，“而我亲爱的妻子则成了‘埃文斯夫人’。”

There was a knock at the door of the dressing-room. 'Two minutes, Sir Anthony!' said a voice.

化妆间外有人敲门。“还有两分钟，安东尼爵士!”有人说道。

The famous musician stood up. 'I'm ready,' he said. He turned to me.

这位著名的音乐家站起身来。“我准备好了。”他说着，朝我转过身来。

'How many concerts have I given? Two thousand? Three thousand? For me, every concert is new and exciting. Now go, my dear, and write your story. Tell the readers of your newspaper that I am a very lucky man.'

“你问我开过多少场音乐会?两千场?三千场?对于我来说，每一场音乐会都是全新的，都是令人激动的。现在去吧，我的孩子，写出你的稿子，告诉你的读者们，我是一个多么幸运的人。”
