一名音樂(lè)天才

Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano, but he likes playing it very much. He can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he first played Moonlight Sonata (奏鳴曲)by Beethoven, which surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly,his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare. However, Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music at the same time as his majors.

Samuel ever shares his experiences of playing the piano. “After I was born, I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly fell in love with playing the piano,without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note,” says Samuel. Recently,Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it smoothly. Samuel says confidently,“It's all about super memory and the passion for it—I guess I have both of them.”

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now,out of strong love of music,he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies at the college.

Two years ago, he first played Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven, which surprised everyone around him. (Para. 1) 兩年前，他第一次彈奏了貝多芬的《月光奏鳴曲》，驚艷了他身邊的每一個(gè)人。

【點(diǎn)石成金】非限制性定語(yǔ)從句“which surprised everyone around him” 對(duì)應(yīng)的先行詞是 句 子 “he first played Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven”， 此時(shí)定語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞要用which，且要用逗號(hào)隔開(kāi)。
