音樂帶來的快樂

The joys of family and friendship (not to mention poker) come top of my list.

家庭和友情給我?guī)淼目鞓肥亲疃嗟?和家人朋友打牌就更不用說了)。

But for those of us who savour the selfish pleasures of living alone, these days they are not always instantly available. Yet we can always go to the theatre. Or a (classical) concert.

但對于像我這樣一人享受獨居之樂的人來說，家人和朋友不是想找就馬上能找到的，不過我們總是可以去劇院看戲或者去聽(古典)音樂會。

The theatre has been my lifelong home from home, from the National Theatre and RSC via the West End to my grandchildren’s school plays.

劇院永遠是我的第二個家，無論是倫敦西區(qū)的國家大劇院和皇家莎士比亞劇團，還是我孫子孫女的學(xué)校劇場都不例外。

I will always remember my youngest son Ben, then nine, winning his school singing competition with afeisty rendition of Luck, Be A Lady Tonight! from our favourite musical Guys And Dolls.

我最小的兒子本九歲的時候在學(xué)校的歌唱比賽中獲勝了。他精神抖擻地唱了一曲《Luck, Be A Lady Tonight!》(這是出自我們最喜歡的音樂劇《紅男綠女》的歌)，我永遠都不會忘記當(dāng)時的情景。

Fifteen years ago when I was chronically depressed after the failure of my second marriage, I could findconsolation only in music - anything from Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte to Ennio Morricone’s sloshy theme from the film The Mission, Gabriel’s Oboe.

十五年前，由于第二次婚姻的失敗，我患上了嚴重的抑郁癥，唯有音樂能給我慰藉——無論是莫扎特的《女人皆如此》還是恩尼奧·莫里科內(nèi)為電影《教會》創(chuàng)作的主題曲，只要是音樂都能讓我舒心。
