Years later, living in Vienna, I found this note amongmy papers:
多年以后,在維也納生活時,我在自己的文件中找到了這張字條:
Uncle, last night when I heard that Mr. Beethovenhad died.
舅舅,昨晚我聽說貝多芬先生去世了。
I went down by the river and thought about the time he lived upstairs.
我來到河邊,回想起他住在樓上的時光。
Mr. Beethoven wanted to change the world.
貝多芬先生想改變這個世界。
Maybe he will do it ... bit by bit.
也許他將要做到了......一點一點的。
