Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. 伊芙莲·格妮是苏格兰第一敲击乐独奏家。In an interview, she recalled how she became a percussion soloist(打击乐器独奏演员) in spite of her disability. 在一次采访中，她回忆了尽管失聪，她如何成为一位敲击乐独奏家的往事。“Early on I decided not to allow the 36 （opinions）of others to stop me from becoming a musician.早年我决定不让别人的意志阻碍我成为一位音乐家。 I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began 37（taking） piano lessons when I was eight. 我在苏格兰东北的一个农场长大，在8岁的时候开始上钢琴课。The older I got, the more my passion(酷爱) for music grew.我越长大，对音乐的热情就越浓厚。 But I also began to gradually lose my 38（hearing） . 但我的听力也开始逐渐失去。Doctors concluded that the nerve damage was the 39（cause） and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. 医生总结说神经损坏是主要原因，到我12岁的时候，我完全聋了。But my love for music never 40（left） me.”但我对音乐的爱从未离我而去。 “My 41 （goal）was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. 我的目标是成为一名打击也独奏者，尽管那时候一个也没有。To perform, I 42（learned） to ‘hear’ music differently from others. 为了演出，我学会了“听”别人不同的音乐。I play in my stocking feet and can 43（tell） the pitch of a note(音调高低) by the vibrations(振动) I feel through my body and through my 44（imagination） . 通过我的身体感知到的震动和我的想象力，我穿着长袜子演奏，并能辨别音调的高低。My entire sound world exists by making use of almost every 45(sense) that I have.” 我整个的声音世界是通过我调用所有的感官存在着。“I was 46（determined） to be assessed as a musician, not as a deaf musician, and I applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London.我下定决心要被评价为一位音乐家，而是不是一位聋人音乐家，然后我申请了著名的伦敦皇家音乐学院。No other deaf student had 47（done）this before and some teachers 48（opposed） my admission. 没有聋人学生那么做过，一些老师反对我的进入。Based on my performance, I was 49 （finally）admitted and went on to 50 （graduate）with the academy’s highest honors.” 基于我的表演，我最终入驻并带着学院的最高荣誉毕业。 “After that, I established myself as the first full-time solo percussionist. 那之后，我自己创建了首位全职打击乐独奏者。I 51（wrote） and arranged a lot of musical compositions since 52 （few）had been written specially for solo percussionists.” 由于很少有曲子是特别为独奏者写的，我自己写了并编排了大量的曲子。“I have been a soloist for over ten years. 我作为一名独奏者已经有十年的光阴了。53 （Although）the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn’t 54（mean） that my passion couldn’t be realized. 尽管医生认为我完全失聪，那并意味着我的热情不能被激发。I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be 55（limited） by others. 我会鼓励大家不要让自己被他人禁锢。Follow your passion; follow your heart.追随你的热情，追随你的内心。 They will lead you to the place you want to go.” 他们会引导你朝着你想去的地方迈进。
