When you consider what he wrote -- thirteen
operas and music dramas, eleven of them still holding the stage, eight
of them unquestionably worth ranking among the world's great
musico-dramatic masterpieces -- when you listen to what he wrote, the
debts and heartaches that people had to endure from him don't seem much
of a price. Think of the luxury with which for a time, at least, fate
rewarded Napoleon,the man who ruined France and looted Europe; and then
perhaps you will agree that a few thousand dollars' worth of debts were
not too heavy a price to pay for the Ring trilogy.
当你注意到他完成的作品，那十三部歌剧和乐剧，中有十一部仍屹立舞台，时时演之，经久不衰；而其中的八部更是当之无愧，无可非议的世界杰出音乐戏剧经典巨著--屏息聆听，便觉他欠债伤人的故旧之事还何须挂齿呢？爱德华•汉斯里克，那位在《纽伦堡名歌手》一剧中被戏谑谩骂过的，打那后一直耿耿于怀的乐评家，现在只能因是被针砭对象而被提及；为之心碎，花逝芳殒的可人儿们，我想那个除了自己谁都不爱的汉子已在《特里斯坦和伊索尔德》中作下欲腐难朽的补偿。想想命运之神一度关照的统治法兰西，劫掠欧罗巴的拿破仑还享受数载至尊奢华，或许你便不会觉得用《尼伯龙根的指环》这样的旷世奇作来质押区区数千元是多大的代价了。
