That's why you are called a conductor

这是你被称为指挥的原因

　　I was percussion major when I was in college, and during a rehearsal of the student orchestra, my section kept making mistakes. "When you're too dumb to play anything," the professor conducting us sneered, "they give you a couple of sticks, put you in the back and call you a percussionist.” A friend next to me whispered, "And if you're too dumb to hang on to both sticks, they put you in the front and call you a conductor."

　　上大学时我学的是打击乐专业。在学生管弦乐队的一次排练过程中，我们打击乐的那部分乐手老是出错。 “当你愚蠢到什么都演奏不出来时”， 正在指挥我们演奏的教授嘲笑说，“他们就给你一、两根棒棒，然后把你放到后面，把你称为打击乐手”。坐在我身边的一个朋友跟我小声耳语，“如果你傻到两根棒棒都拿不好，他们就把你弄到前面去，把你称为指挥”。
