A music genius 一名音樂天才

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 doesnt 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 cant play it smoothly. Samuel says confidently，“Its all about super memory and the passion for it—I guess I have both of them.”

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesnt 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.

Ⅱ. Text?centered sentences

一、非限制性定語從句

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)定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞要用which，且要用逗號(hào)隔開。

【運(yùn)用遷移】杰克沒有按時(shí)完成工作，這使得他的老板非常生氣。

二、結(jié)果狀語從句

He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists cant play it smoothly. （Para. 3） 現(xiàn)在他在學(xué)一首非常難以至于許多專業(yè)鋼琴家都不能順利彈奏的曲子。

【點(diǎn)石成金】該句為復(fù)合句。句中含有so...that...結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“如此……以至于……”，that引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句。

【運(yùn)用遷移】他在短時(shí)間內(nèi)完成了這么多的任務(wù)，每個(gè)人都認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)奇跡。
