美國流行笑話：To tune my cello 給大提琴調(diào)音

161　To tune my cello 給大提琴調(diào)音

One of my friends, a musician, is always upbeat. Nothing gets her down. But when she developed ringing in one ear, I 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 half-tone lower.”
我的一個(gè)音樂家朋友總是那么樂觀，沒有什么事能叫她消沉。但是，當(dāng)她的一只耳朵得了耳鳴之后，我擔(dān)心這會(huì)連她都受不了。我問她耳鳴是不是使音樂家特別惱火，她搖了搖頭，高興地說：“這個(gè)耳鳴聲正好是在降B調(diào)上，因此我用它把大提琴調(diào)低半個(gè)音。”
