「ではすぐ今の次。はいっ。」
　そらと思って弾き出したかと思うと いきなり楽長が 足をどんと 踏ふんで どなり出しました。
「だめだ。まるでなっていない。このへんは曲の心臓なんだ。それが こんな がさがさしたことで。諸君。演奏までもうあと十日しかないんだよ。音楽を専門にやっているぼくらが あのかなぐつかじだの砂糖屋のでっちなんかの 寄り集りに負けてしまったら いったいわれわれの面目はどうなるんだ。おいゴーシュ君。君には困るんだがなあ。表情ということがまるでできてない。怒るも喜ぶも 感情というものがさっぱり出ないんだ。それにどうしても ぴたっとほかの楽器と合わないもなあ。いつでも きみだけ とけた靴くつのひもを引きずって みんなのあとをついて歩くようなんだ、困るよ、しっかりしてくれないとねえ。こうきあるわが金星音楽団が きみ一人のために 悪評をとるようなことでは、みんなへもまったく気の毒だからな。では今日は練習はここまで、休んで六時には かっきりボックスへ入ってくれたまえ。」
みんなはおじぎをして、それからたばこをくわえてマッチをすったり どこかへ出ていったりしました。ゴーシュは その粗末な箱みたいなセロをかかえて 壁の方へ向いて口をまげてぼろぼろ涙をこぼしましたが、気をとり直して 自分だけ たったひとり いまやったところを はじめから静かに もういちど弾きはじめました。

Kenji Miyazawa 宮沢賢治 :Gauche the Cellist 『セロ弾きのゴーシュ』#2

第十章：变老
我的朋友带着他的小羊已经离去六年了。
Six years have already passed since my friend went away from me, with his sheep.
我之所以在这里尽力把他描写出来，就是为了不要忘记他。
If I try to describe him here, it is to make sure that I shall not forget him.
忘记一个朋友，这太叫人悲伤了。
To forget a friend is sad.
并不是所有的人都有过一个朋友。
Not every one has had a friend.
再说，我也可能变成那些大人那样，只对数字感兴趣。
And if I forget him, I may become like the grown-ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures...
也正是为了这个缘故，我买了一盒颜料和一些铅笔。
It is for that purpose, again, that I have bought a box of paints and some pencils.
像我这样年纪的人，
It is hard to take up drawing again at my age,
而且除了六岁时画过闭着肚皮的和开着肚皮的巨蟒外，别的什么也没有尝试过，现在，重新再来画画，真费劲啊！
when I have never made any pictures except those of the boa constrictor from the outside and the boa constrictor from the inside, since I was six.
当然，我一定要把这些画尽量地画得逼真，
I shall certainly try to make my portraits as true to life as possible.
但我自己也没有把握。
But I am not at all sure of success.

一张画得还可以，另一张就不像了。
One drawing goes along all right, and another has no resemblance to its subject.


还有身材大小，我画得有点不准确。在这个地方小王子画得太大了些，另一个地方又画得太小了些。
I make some errors, too, in the little prince's height: in one place he is too tall and in another too short.


对他衣服的颜色我也拿不准。
And I feel some doubts about the color of his costume.
于是我就摸索着这么试试那么改改，画了个大概。
So I fumble along as best I can, now good, now bad, and I hope generally fair-to-middling.
我很可能在某些重要的细节上画错了。
In certain more important details I shall make mistakes, also.
这就得请大家原谅我了。
But that is something that will not be my fault.
因为我的这个朋友，从来也不加说明解释。
My friend never explained anything to me.
他认为我同他一样。
He thought, perhaps, that I was like himself.
可是，很遗憾，我却不能透过盒子看见小羊。
But I, alas, do not know how to see sheep through the walls of boxes.
我大概有点和大人们差不多。
Perhaps I am a little like the grown-ups.
我一定是变老了。
I have had to grow old.

Can Watching Movies Help Improve My English? If Yes, How?

Movies are great sources of learning, including for improving your English. 

Even for people who don’t intentionally learn English, they can start to enrich their vocabulary and grammatical skill by watching many films.

 Although it is still highly advisable to learn English through formal education programs, movies can become an excellent tool to know how a native speaks and behaves.

Dive into my podcast and improve your listening skills, I'll ask you some questions so you can think in English & I'll get you to speak too. Have fun doing it
