TranslatethefollowingsentencesintoChinese.1. 任何人只要有一絲半點(diǎn)的不同意見，即使再微不足道，也足夠讓他高談闊論幾個(gè)鐘頭，用他那十分累人的雄辯從多方面論證自己是正確的，結(jié)果是他的聽眾聽得目瞪口呆，兩耳震聾，為了息事寧人，只好順從他。2. 他發(fā)出了幾十封哀求信，甚至不知廉恥地向人獻(xiàn)媚，有時(shí)他又會將對自己的支持作為某種特權(quán)高傲地賞賜給他希望得到的資助人，一旦這份榮耀被人拒絕，他又會深感被人冒犯。3. 如果有人仰慕他的作品，能夠并且愿意為他所用，他就會動用各種關(guān)系，想盡辦法見上一面；可是他又會因?yàn)楸硎境瞿撤N愚蠢的、毫無意義的傲慢和無禮而樹立死敵。4. 這簡直就是一個(gè)讓人難以言表的奇跡，他那可憐的大腦和身體竟然沒有在如此強(qiáng)大的創(chuàng)造力的折磨下崩潰，這個(gè)惡魔掙扎著，抓撓著要掙脫出來，撕扯著，尖叫著，想要他把內(nèi)心的音樂譜寫出來。II.

TranslatethefollowingpassageintoChinese.2001年7月7日，耶路撒冷舉行的一場音樂會在以色列引起了軒然大波。世界著名指揮家DanielBarenboim率領(lǐng)德國管弦樂團(tuán)在以色列藝術(shù)節(jié)上正在演奏瓦格納的音樂，而瓦格納是一個(gè)反猶太的德國作曲家，也是希特勒最欣賞的音樂家。建國以來的五十多年里，以色列一直都有這么一條不成文的禁忌—不公開演出瓦格納的任何作品。因?yàn)閷υS多猶太人和大屠殺幸存者來說，瓦格納的音樂是和希特勒政權(quán)緊緊聯(lián)系在一起的。盡管瓦格納的作品在全世界范圍內(nèi)廣為人知并到處演出，但在以色列只要一提起瓦格納就會激起人們的憤怒和譴責(zé)。但巴倫博伊姆堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為，瓦格納的反猶太主義思想既不能忽視，也不可簡單地把它等同于他的音樂。他的音樂是由于它所具有的藝術(shù)價(jià)值而值得人們欣賞,一個(gè)民主的社會不應(yīng)當(dāng)阻止人們欣賞這樣的作品。ExercisesforintegratedskillsI.
