043 Clarinet 单簧管

外国人讲：

When I played with a symphony orchestra， our union reached an agreement with a major airline about which instruments we could carry on board，and which had to be shipped as luggage.A cellist was dismayed to find that his delicate，expensive wood instrument was consigned to the rougher handling and cold temperatures of the baggage hold.

He neatly solved the problem.Cello in hand， he approached the flight attendant at the gate and asked，“May I bring my clarinet on board？” Scanning her list，she replied，“Clarinets are okay. Have a good trip，”and，smiling，waved him on.

中国人讲：

我在一个交响乐团演奏时，我们乐团与一家大型航空公司就哪些乐器可以带上飞机、哪些乐器要作为行李托运达成了协议。一个大提琴手惊愕地发现他那精致、昂贵的木质乐器竟要托运，要经受行李舱内的低温以及野蛮的装卸。

他干净利落地解决了这个问题。他手里拿着大提琴，走到门口的空姐跟前，问道：“我可以将我的单簧管带上飞机吗？”她检视了一下单子，答道：“单簧管可以。祝您旅途愉快。”然后微笑着挥手让他进去了。
