[14:23.34]"是的，大师，我以前听过你的解释。" [14:26.37]Responded the journalist in a kind manner, [14:28.56]记者友善地回答道， [14:30.75]"And we honor your reputation greatly." [14:33.12]我们很尊重您的名声。 [14:35.48]But others just can not comprehend this piece of music that you have written! [14:38.42]可是别人就是没法理解您写的这首曲子。 [14:41.36]They say that you have compresseda mix of components from other well-known songs. [14:45.15]他们说，您不过是把其他名曲中的组成部分拿过来压缩到了您的作品中。 [14:48.94]For them it is not conceivable that there is any order, form or pattern. [14:52.32]他们想像不出您这首曲子有任何规律、模式或者风格， [14:55.70]They say that you have compromsed the art form [14:57.83]他们认为您损害了艺术形式， [14:59.96]and that there should be some compulsion for you [15:02.09]应该采取些强制措施 [15:04.22]to comply with demands [15:05.80]让您遵从人们的要求， [15:07.38]for your withdrawal of this song from the public arena!"

[15:38.33]没人喜欢它，没人听得懂， [15:40.71]So no one wants to listen to it !" [15:42.59]所以没人愿意听!" [15:44.47]concentrate-confer Too curious [15:49.46]过于好奇 [15:54.45]Before the conclusion of the concert, [15:57.62]音乐会结束之前， [16:00.80]Marianne slipped to the Concession Stand for an ice cream cone. [16:03.74]玛丽安溜到商摊去买蛋卷冰激凌。 [16:06.68]When she was there she overheard two men conferring together [16:10.10]在那儿，她无意中听到两个男人在谈话， [16:13.52]about their lack of confidence in arresting someone [16:16.04]他们要逮捕某个人，但他们对完成此事没有信心 [16:18.56]at the end of the performance.

[16:29.68]看能不能听懂他们所讲的话。 [16:31.86]It was none of her concern, of course, [16:34.09]当然这件事与她没关系， [16:36.32]but this type of conduct was typical for Marianne. [16:38.95]但玛丽安经常会有偷听这种行为。 [16:41.58]The name of the person that was conferred uponwas too much for her to bear, however, [16:45.61]然而，玛丽安实在难以忍受他们在交谈中提到的那个人的名字， [16:49.65]and she had to confess to herself [16:51.78]她得向自己承认， [16:53.91]that this was something she really shouldn't know. [16:56.13]她真不该知道这件事。 [16:58.35]As she walked back to her chair [17:00.78]她一边走回座位， [17:03.20]she was condemning herself already for being so curious. [17:05.78]一边已经在谴责自己不该如此好奇。 [17:08.35]Condemnation never worked with Marianne, unfortunately, [17:12.33]不幸的是，自我谴责对玛丽安来说从来就不管用， [17:16.32]and she suddenly had the conception to warn the individual.
