英美经典电影对白师生情谊篇：春风化雨 场景5(mp3)
Mr. Holland: He couldn't hear, of all people, not a thing. And because Beethoven couldn't hear the thought of him conducting, or let alone composing, was pathetic to most people. And so to answer them, he composed and conducted the "Seventh Symphony." Just try to imagine, Beethoven standing on that podium holding his baton, his hands waving gracefully through the air, and the orchestra in his mind is playing perfectly. And the orchestra in front of him trying desperately just to keep up. There is a story that in order to write his music Beethoven literally sawed the legs off his piano so that he could lay the body flat on the ground. And then, he would lay down on the ground next to the piano with his ear pressed to the floor. And he would pound the keys with his fingers in order to hear his music through the vibrations. of the floor.
霍兰先生：他听不见，什么都听不见。因为他听不见，很多人认为他的指挥，更不用说作曲，大可悲哀了。为了回应这些人，他作了《第七交响乐》并指挥演出。你们试想一下贝多芬站在指挥台上，拿着指挥棒，他的手在空中优雅地挥动，他意念中的乐队的演出是完美的，而他眼前的乐队，却拼命地要跟上他。还有一个故事，说他为了作曲把钢琴的脚锯掉，这样他可以躺在钢琴边的地上，把耳朵紧贴地板，然后敲打琴键，使自己能透过地板的震动听到音乐。
A student: Mr. Holland? Mr. Holland? If he couldn't hear, how would he even know what the notes were? Like, if he never heard a "C" how'd he know that's what he wanted played?
学生：霍兰先生，如果他听不见，怎么知道那是什么音?就像如果他从来没听过“C”调，他怎么知道那就是他想要的音?
Mr. Holland: Well, Beethoven wasn't born deaf.
霍兰先生：贝多芬不是先天就聋。
