Probably a lot of you know the story of the two salesmen

很多人可能聽過關於二個銷售員的故事，

過去簡單式

to 不定詞

They were sent down to find if there was any opportunity

and they wrote telegrams back to Manchester.

在他們發回曼徹斯特的電報中，

一個人寫著：＂毫無商機，停止計畫。

"Situation hopeless. Stop. They don't wear shoes."

"Glorious opportunity. They don't have any shoes yet."

Now, there's a similar situation in the classical music world,

在古典音樂的世界也有類似的情況，

because there are some people who think that classical music is dying.

And there are some of us who think you ain't seen nothing yet.

And rather than go into statistics and trends,

有些人則認為最好的還沒出現呢。

and tell you about all the orchestras that are closing,

and the record companies that are folding,

來告訴你們哪些交響樂團將要結束，

I thought we should do an experiment tonight.

Actually, it's not really an experiment, because I know the outcome.

今晚我們要來做個實驗，一個實驗。

事實上，也不算是個實驗，因為我已知道結果。

但像是個實驗。在我們開始之前--

-- 在我們開始之前，讓我們先做兩件事情。

Before we start, I need to do two things.

One is I want to remind you of what a seven-year-old child

如果他練習了一年，繼續上鋼琴課，現在他八歲了，

Now, if he practices for a year and takes lessons, he's now eight

然後又練習一年，繼續上課，現在他九歲了。

然後他再練習一年，繼續上課，現在他十歲了。

He practices for another year and takes lessons -- he's nine.

Then he practices for another year and takes lessons -- now he's 10.

你可能想不到他會彈出這樣的音樂，

Now, if you'd waited for one more year, you would have heard this.

投入、有個新老師、步入青春期、或其他的各種可能。

Now, what happened was not maybe what you thought,

which is, he suddenly became passionate, engaged,

involved, got a new teacher, he hit puberty, or whatever it is.

What actually happened was the impulses were reduced.

You see, the first time, he was playing with an impulse on every note.

And the second, with an impulse every other note.

十歲的孩子，每八個音符動一下。

The nine-year-old put an impulse on every four notes.

十一歲的孩子，整個樂句動一下。

我也不知道我怎麼會變成這個姿勢。

And the 11-year-old, one impulse on the whole phrase.

我也沒想到要去移動我的肩膀，移動我的身體。

I don't know how we got into this position.

所以我叫它為半個屁股的演奏。

I didn't say, "I'm going to move my shoulder over, move my body."

which is why I call it one-buttock playing.

當時我正在指導一位年青的鋼琴家。

他是俄亥俄州一家公司的董事長。

You know, a gentleman was once watching a presentation I was doing,

當時我正在指導一位年青的鋼琴家

我告訴他，＂你的問題在於你彈鋼琴時穩穩的坐在屁股上。

He was the president of a corporation in Ohio.

你應該當個半個屁股的演奏家。＂

I was working with this young pianist, and said,

當他演奏時我這樣地移動他的身體。

"The trouble with you is you're a two-buttock player.

突然間音樂飛了起來。音樂飛了起來。

當觀眾聽出變化時都非常驚呀。

接著我就收到這位男士的來信。

And suddenly, the music took off. It took flight.

The audience gasped when they heard the difference.

I went back and I transformed my entire company

我還要說另一件與你們有關的事。

Now, the other thing I wanted to do is to tell you about you.

你極為喜愛古典樂。你的收音機總是調到古典音樂頻道。

你車上放的是古典樂ＣＤ，你會去聽音樂會。

are absolutely passionate about classical music.

You adore classical music. Your FM is always on that classical dial.

你無法想像沒有古典樂的日子。

You have CDs in your car, and you go to the symphony,

這是第一種類型；人數相當少的一種類型。

還有另一種類型，人數較多的一種類型。

You can't imagine your life without classical music.

The people who don't mind classical music.

來點韋瓦弟當做背景音樂也無妨。

You know, you've come home from a long day,

and you take a glass of wine, and you put your feet up.

A little Vivaldi in the background doesn't do any harm.
