英語幽默精讀【92】Dis-Comcerting

閱讀 : 次

　　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.
