8.The End of the Story

8.故事的結(jié)局

Sir Anthony Evans turned to me. 'That competition was the start of wonderful things for me,' he said. 'I went to the College of Music for three years. Of course, I worked hard, but I enjoyed every minute. I always went back to the farm for my holidays. And one summer, when I was twenty, I asked Miss Linda Wood a very important question. "I can't give you much, Linda," I told her. "But one day I shall be rich and famous. Then I'll come back again, and I'll ask you to marry me." She gave me a long, loving look. Then she laughed. "Oh, Anthony," she said. "Don't wait until you're rich and famous. Ask me now!" So I did — and here we are!'

安東尼·埃文斯爵士朝我轉(zhuǎn)過身來。“對(duì)我而言，那場(chǎng)比賽是所有美好的一切的開端，”他說道，“我去音樂學(xué)院上了三年學(xué)。當(dāng)然我學(xué)得很刻苦，但是每一刻我都樂在其中。每逢假期，我總是回到農(nóng)場(chǎng)。在我20歲的那個(gè)暑假里，我問了琳達(dá)·伍德小姐一個(gè)重要的問題。‘琳達(dá)，我現(xiàn)在給不了你太多，’我告訴她，‘但有朝一日我會(huì)功成名就的。那時(shí)，我會(huì)回到這里，請(qǐng)求你嫁給我。’她深情地、久久地看著我，然后笑了。‘哦，安東尼，’她說，‘不要等到你功成名就的時(shí)候，現(xiàn)在就好!’于是我就向她求婚了——就是這樣!”

'We've been married for sixty years. Five years ago, the Queen invited us to Buckingham Palace. I was Mr Anthony Evans when I went into the Palace. I was Sir Anthony Evans when I came out... and,' — he took his wife's hand — 'my dear Linda was Lady Evans.'

“我們結(jié)婚已經(jīng)60年了。五年前，女王陛下邀請(qǐng)我們?nèi)グ捉饾h宮。進(jìn)去的時(shí)候我是‘安東尼·埃文斯先生’，出來的時(shí)候，我就成了‘安東尼·埃文斯爵士’……”他握住了妻子的手，“而我親愛的妻子則成了‘埃文斯夫人’。”

There was a knock at the door of the dressing-room. 'Two minutes, Sir Anthony!' said a voice.

化妝間外有人敲門。“還有兩分鐘，安東尼爵士!”有人說道。

The famous musician stood up. 'I'm ready,' he said. He turned to me.

這位著名的音樂家站起身來。“我準(zhǔn)備好了。”他說著，朝我轉(zhuǎn)過身來。

'How many concerts have I given? Two thousand? Three thousand? For me, every concert is new and exciting. Now go, my dear, and write your story. Tell the readers of your newspaper that I am a very lucky man.'

“你問我開過多少場(chǎng)音樂會(huì)?兩千場(chǎng)?三千場(chǎng)?對(duì)于我來說，每一場(chǎng)音樂會(huì)都是全新的，都是令人激動(dòng)的?，F(xiàn)在去吧，我的孩子，寫出你的稿子，告訴你的讀者們，我是一個(gè)多么幸運(yùn)的人。”
