Mike nodded his head in solemn agreement. "Yes," he said. "I know what you mean."

He replied, "it said 'go to sleep, Michael. Go to sleep.

我一直设法让我朋友迈克----一个摇滚迷------对古典音乐感兴趣。我主动提出购买两张莫扎特纪念节的票，他很愿意伴随我，而且似乎喜爱上了交响乐。
音乐会后，我捉到莫扎特的音乐如何感动了我。“有些时候，我几乎可以听到他在音乐中的声音，感觉到好像他在对我倾诉，”我说。
迈克严肃地点点头表示赞成。“是的，”他说，“我懂你的意思。”
我为已使他转变了兴趣而非常得意，我问他是如何感受那音乐的。
他回答说：“交响乐对我说：‘睡吧，迈克，睡吧。’”
