I was a percussion major when I was in university, and during a particular rehearsal of the student orchestra, my section kept getting things worse.

“When you’re too dumb to play anything,” the professor conducting us sneered, “they give you a couple of sticks, put you in the back and call you a percussionist.”"

A friend next to me whispered, “And if you’re too dumb to hang on to both sticks, they put you in front and call you a conductor.”

上大學(xué)時(shí)我主修打擊樂，在一次學(xué)生交響樂隊(duì)的彩排中，我所在的打擊樂區(qū)表現(xiàn)不好，老是出錯(cuò)。

指揮我們的教授冷嘲熱諷地說：“要是一個(gè)人笨到什么都不會(huì)演奏，我們就會(huì)給他兩個(gè)小棍兒，讓他到樂隊(duì)后部去，我們管這樣的人叫打擊樂手。”

我身邊的朋友悄悄對(duì)我說：“要是一個(gè)人連兩個(gè)小棍兒都搞不定的話，就讓他樂隊(duì)最前面去，我們管這樣的人叫指揮。”
