My dear parents,
親愛(ài)的爸爸、媽媽?zhuān)?/p>
The worst is behind us! That was last night's organ concert and the lecture preceding it. Quite frankly I was somewhat worried about this lecture Since I am not used to giving long talks in French…and the hall is enormous: three thousand people. But to my amazement I discovered that I felt as much at home in French as I do in German, and that it was easier for me to speak loudly and clearly in French than in German! I stood there without a manuscript, and within three minutes I sensed that I hadcaptured my audience more surely than I had ever done before. I spoke for fifty-five minutes, and next came an organ recital that lasted for one hour. I have never been so successful. When the program ended, they all remained in their seats: I had to go back to my organ and play for another half hour; the audience was sorry to leave…it was half-past midnight!
最糟糕的總算過(guò)去了!我說(shuō)的是昨晚的管風(fēng)琴音樂(lè)會(huì)以及音樂(lè)會(huì)前的演講。說(shuō)實(shí)話，我有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心這次演講，因?yàn)槲也涣?xí)慣用法語(yǔ)作長(zhǎng)篇演講，而且音樂(lè)廳非常大，能容納3000人。但讓我驚訝的是，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己講法語(yǔ)和講德語(yǔ)一樣輕松自如，而且對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，洪亮清晰地用法語(yǔ)演講比用德語(yǔ)要更容易!我站在那兒，不用講稿，3分鐘內(nèi)我就感到，我已經(jīng)把聽(tīng)眾深深地吸引住了，比過(guò)去任何一次都埸成功。我講了55分鐘，接下來(lái)，就是管風(fēng)琴獨(dú)奏音樂(lè)會(huì)，這持續(xù)了一個(gè)小時(shí)，我從來(lái)沒(méi)有如此成功過(guò)。當(dāng)曲目演奏完畢，所有的聽(tīng)眾仍然坐在座位上不愿離去，我不得不再次回到管風(fēng)琴旁，又演奏了半個(gè)小時(shí)。當(dāng)聽(tīng)眾們依依不舍地離去時(shí)，已是深夜12點(diǎn)半了。
Here, the concerts are announced for 9:15, but at that time there's not a soul in the auditorium; toward 9: 30 the first few people arrive, strolling about in the hall and the lobby, and toward ten o'clock, after three rings of a bell, the people deign to finally take their scats!
在這里，雖然通知音樂(lè)會(huì)從9點(diǎn)15分開(kāi)始，但時(shí)間到了，大廳里卻不見(jiàn)一個(gè)人影;快到9點(diǎn)半時(shí)，才來(lái)了寥寥幾個(gè)人，他們?cè)诖髲d里或走廊上溜達(dá)，接近10點(diǎn)鐘時(shí)，三次鈴響之后，人們才最終屈尊坐到座位上!
On Saturday, a grand concert with organ and orchestra is scheduled in the morning, and I have long rehearsals in the evening, for the organ is very difficult to play since the sound is always delayed. Luckily, I am well rested, and I am managing to overcome the difficulties. Absolutely everyoneaddresses me as "cher ma re"; the art critics settle down in the auditorium during rehearsals;myportrait is displayed in the music stores. It's such fun.
這個(gè)星期六的上午安排了一場(chǎng)由管風(fēng)琴及管弦樂(lè)隊(duì)演奏的盛大音樂(lè)會(huì)，晚上我花了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間彩排，因?yàn)楣茱L(fēng)琴發(fā)出的聲音總是延遲，很難演奏。幸運(yùn)的是，我能恰到好處地停頓，沒(méi)法克服了這些困難。每一個(gè)人都稱(chēng)我為“尊敬的藝術(shù)大師”;藝術(shù)評(píng)論家們?cè)诓逝牌陂g都認(rèn)認(rèn)真真地坐在聽(tīng)眾席上;我的畫(huà)像也在許多樂(lè)器店中懸掛著，這真有趣。
I am staying with Walter at the premier hotel on the grand square with splendid palm trees. I have a view of the square and the entire city all the way to the big mountains forty minutes away from here; they are as high as the Hohnack. I walk over to them every afternoon; it takes me a total of two hours.
我與沃爾特住在大廣場(chǎng)上的首相賓館，四周環(huán)繞著美麗壯觀的棕櫚樹(shù)。我能欣賞到整個(gè)廣場(chǎng)、整個(gè)城市，甚至能一直看到離這兒有40分鐘路程之遙的群山;這些群山與霍荷納克山一樣高，我每天下午步行至山下，來(lái)回要用整整兩個(gè)小時(shí)。
The weather is the same as at home on a lovely June day.The men who were waiting for me at the railroad station roared with laugher when they saw Walter and me in overcoats.
此時(shí)這里的氣候猶如家鄉(xiāng)那宜人的六月。當(dāng)那些在火車(chē)站接我的人們看到我和沃爾特穿著大衣時(shí)，都開(kāi)懷大笑起來(lái)。
As I am writing to you, the square below my window is filled with a terrible din. The king is arriving in an hour, and the troops are now taking up their positions. Tomorrow evening there will be a grandgala performance at the theater. I have been invited, but I am not going; I want to rest, for I feel too well to risk my excellent condition.
就在此時(shí)我給你們寫(xiě)信之際，窗外的廣場(chǎng)上人聲鼎沸，一小時(shí)之后國(guó)王即將駕到，現(xiàn)在隊(duì)伍在各就各位。明天晚上劇院里將有一場(chǎng)盛大的歡慶表演。我已接到邀請(qǐng)，但我不想去。我想休息一下，因?yàn)槲椰F(xiàn)在感覺(jué)很好，我不想冒險(xiǎn)破壞我的最佳狀態(tài)。
I will close now, otherwise the letter won't go off tonight. It has to be at the post office by four o'clock. There is no night train to France.
我得就停筆了，否則這封信就無(wú)法在今晚發(fā)出。這封信得在4點(diǎn)鐘之前交到郵局，因?yàn)檫@兒沒(méi)有開(kāi)往巴黎的夜班火車(chē)。
Please forward this letter to the Fhretsmanns and to the Woytts.
請(qǐng)把這封信轉(zhuǎn)寄給埃雷茨曼夫婦和沃伊特夫婦。
Hugs and kisses.
擁抱、親吻你們!
Albert
