终于结束了《时代广场的蟋蟀》的28节(15章)的有声书。
《莫扎特奇幻旅程》豹豹找了找，在喜马拉雅上没有资源，小可爱们只能去可可英语上听了，当然是免费的。手机就可以搜索。

今天先来两章热热身。
1. Horn Concerto, K.495, Movement 3
莫扎特第四圆号协奏曲第三乐章
Concerto
A concerto is a piece of music written for one or more solo instruments and an orchestra. 协奏曲
第一章中出现了三个孩子，分别是Clara, Fritz和Hans，他们应该是《魔笛》中的三个小主人公，乘坐飞船(the flying boat)准备去看看莫扎特先生将给他们多少出场机会。结果莫扎特先生因为儿子总是在学校惹祸，没时间专心歌剧决定将他们的戏份砍掉，从而三个小家伙就去找惹祸的小“莫扎特”-Karl
Rehearsal's over, Fritz...off the stage.
A rehearsal of a play, dance, or piece of music is a practice of it in preparation for a performance. 排练; 彩排
This flying boat is amazing!
这里的飞船仅仅就指飞起来的船。
平时说的飞船用airship 或space ship或spacecraft即可
Raise the sails! Start the wind machine!
sail即指船帆
raise与rise常会混，raise+n.(vt.) rise不直接＋n.(vi)
做名词两者差别不大，另外raise有筹款与养育的意思。
What if Mr. Mozart runs out of music?
莫扎特先生江郎才尽怎么办？
what if 用于提出假设时，意思是“假若……” “要是……将会怎么样”，其后句子可用陈述语气（用一般现在时），也可用虚拟语气（用一般过去时或should+动词原形）
eg. What if she finds out that you’ve lost her book?
What if we stayed at home for a change?
(解析出自百度知道，侵删。)
不过有本书就叫What If有一段时间还蛮火的。
Let's go find out how he's doing.
正儿八经应该是go to do 或go doing 但是美剧中也常出现go do其实是非正式口语，go and do
另外口语中也常见gonna:going to do
wanna:want to do
2 Clarinet Quintet, K.581, Movement 莫扎特单簧管五重奏
Clarinet: A clarinet is a musical instrument in the shape of a pipe. You play the clarinet by blowing into it and covering and uncovering the holes with your fingers. 单簧管; 黑管
Quintet: A quintet is a group of five singers or musicians singing or playing together. 五重唱组合; 五重奏乐团
四重奏就是quartet
The evening is so still and peaceful.
突然想起一部歌剧(同名电影或小说均鼎鼎大名)The Dawns Here Are Quiet
He says I must finish my opera or his theatre will go bankrupt.
他说我必须要完成这部歌剧，否则他的剧院就要破产了。
bankrupt:(business) People or organizations that go bankrupt do not have enough money to pay their debts. 破产的; 倒闭的; 资不抵债的
I'd rather just sit back and listen to the crickets sing.
刚好听完时代广场的蟋蟀，对cricket这个词亲切极了。
Would rather(I'd rather) do=would prefer to do
He's in trouble again at school! The headmaster sent me a letter.
Karl isn't working. He's rude to the other boys ... he even skips his classes!
孩子太淘，家长操碎了心。
新概念二中也出现过逃课Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. (from school可省略)
It's not enough that Mr. Schikaneder wants a dragon and an evil queen in my Magic Flute;
还有更烦人的事情，Schikaneder先生想在我的《魔笛》中加入一条龙和一个恶皇后的角色；
看到这，豹豹忍不住百度了一下[用德语演唱的《魔笛》是在莫扎特生命中的最后一年写作的，也是莫扎特最后一部歌剧。当时的莫扎特生活窘迫、疾病交加，抑郁不得志的作曲家当时的精神处于极度绝望的境况。虽然如此，但莫扎特的创作热情仍很高，所以当维多剧院(theater auf der wiede)的经理席卡内德提出请他为一部德语歌剧谱曲时，他很快同意了。为了方便莫扎特专心创作，席卡内德将作曲家任性的妻子送到外地疗养，并在剧院附近租了一个小房间（魔笛之家）给莫扎特住......---出自百度百科]
If I have to travel all the way to the school and straighten out Karl, I'll never finish this opera.
straighten out 整顿，清理，解决问题
Well, it's not fair: Karl misbehaves and we get punished. I say we go visit little Mr. Mozart...
mis+behave→If someone, especially a child, misbehaves, they behave in a way that is not acceptable to other people. (尤指儿童) 行为不当, 举止失礼
前两章就是这样子，有空了继续更新。有可能会跳着记录。
