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 solemn3 agreement. Yes, he said. I know what you mean.
Feeling very pleased that I had made a convert4, I asked what he felt the music was saying to him.
He replied, it said 'go to sleep, Michael. Go to sleep.

我一直设法让我朋友迈克----一个摇滚迷------对古典音乐有兴趣。我主动提出购买两张莫扎特纪念节的票,他非常想随着我,而且好像喜欢上了交响乐。
音乐会后,我捉到莫扎特的音乐怎么样感动了我。有的时候,我几乎可以听到他在音乐中的声音,感觉到仿佛他在对我倾诉,我说。
迈克严肃地址点头表示赞成。是的,他说,我懂你的意思。
我为已使他转变了兴趣而很得意,我问他是怎么样感受那音乐的。
他回答说:交响乐对我说:睡吧,迈克,睡吧。
