A Remarkable Talent

一位了不起的天才

"Did you believe I could tell time by the piano(钢琴)?" asked one friend of another.“你相信我可以由钢琴知道现在几点钟吗？”一位老兄向他的朋友问道。

"You're kidding." replied his companion dubiously(怀疑地).

“你开玩笑的吧。”他的朋友怀疑地回答。

"I'll show you."

“那我试给你看。”

Said the first man as he sat down at the piano and started(开始) to hammer out a martial tune.

说着，那位老兄就坐在钢琴前开始弹起一首进行曲。

Within seconds came a pounding on the wall, and a man was shouting(叫道) in anger.

几秒钟内，墙壁传来捶打声，一个人愤怒地叫道：

"Hey, stop! Don't you realize it's three(三) o'clock in the morning?"

“喂，别弹了！你知不知道现在是凌晨三点钟？”
