crinkly black fuzz.

2.She checked to see if that might be one way to pronounce “Helsinki”
before showing me the answer.
在她告诉我答案前，她对了对手中的杂志，看看赫尔辛基是否能这样发音。
3.She seemed entranced by the music, a frenzied little piano piece with
a mesmerizing quality, sort of quick passages and then teasing lilting
ones before it returned to the quick playful parts.
她似乎被这音乐吸引住了。这钢琴曲不长，但有点狂乱，有着迷人的特点，乐曲一开始时快节奏的，接着是欢快跳动的节拍，然后又回到嬉戏的部分。
4.If she had as much talent as she had temper, she would be famous
now.
如果她的才气和她的脾气一样大，她早就出名了。
5.The part I liked to practice best was the fancy curtsy: right foot out,
touch the rose on the carpet with a pointed foot, sweep to the side, bend left leg, look up, and smile.
我最喜欢练习的部分是花哨的谢幕行礼的动作：先出右脚，脚尖点在地毯的玫瑰图案上，身子侧摆，左腿弯曲，抬头，微笑。

couldn’t stop playing, as though my hands were bewitched. I kept thinking my fingers would adjust themselves back, like a train switching to the right track.

7.…and her face went blank, her mouth closed, her arms went slack,
and she backed out of the room, stunned, as if she were blowing away like a small brown leaf, thin, brittle, lifeless.

8.And for the first time, or so it seemed, I noticed the piece on the
right-hand side, It was called “Perfectly Contented” I tried to play this one as well. It had a lighter melody but with the same flowing rhythm and turned out to be quite easy. “Pleading Child” was shorter but slower; “Perfectly Contented” was longer but faster. And after I had played them both a few times, I realized they were two halves of the same song.
我第一次，或好像感觉是第一次，注意到右边的乐曲。它的名称是“心满意足”。我也试着弹这首曲子。它的曲调比较轻松，但节奏同样流畅，不是很难。“祈求的孩子”较短、较慢，而“心满意足”更长、更快一
些。在我弹了几遍后，我意识到，原来这两个曲子是同一首歌的两个组成部分。

that Western — often equated with American — influences will flatten every cultural crease, producing, as one observer terms it, one big “McWorld”.

unpredictable as the people who compose them.

with new stuff is to mix things that already exist.
