To tune my cello¹

给大提琴调音

One of my friends,a musician,is always upboat. Nothing gets her down. But when she developed ringing in one sar, 1 was concerned it might overwhelm even her. When I asked if her condition was especially annoying to a musician, she shook her head. "Not really,”she said cheerfully. "The ringing sound is in the key of B flat,so I use it to tune my Cello a hatf-tone lower."

我的一个音乐家朋友总是那么乐观，没有什么事能让她消沉。但是，当她的一只耳朵得了耳鸣之后，我担心这会让她受不了。我问她耳呜是不是使音乐家特别恼火，她摇了摇头，高兴地说：“这个耳声正好是在降B调上，因此我用它把大提琴调低半个音。
