你好 How do you do ?
我是迪姆斯泰勒 My name is Deems Taylor.
我以极大的荣幸 and it's my very pleasant duty to welcome you here...
代表迪士尼、 史塔科斯基 on behalf of Walt Disney. Leopold Stokowski...
以及所有其他艺术家音乐家 and all the other artists and musicians...
贡献心力来完成 whose combined talents went into the creation...
这种新的娱乐形式的《幻想曲》 of this new form of entertainment. Fantasia.
你们将看到的是 What you're going to see...
一群艺术家受到音乐的启发 are the designs and pictures and stories...
发挥想像力所勾勒出来的 that music inspired in the minds and imaginations...
设计图案以及故事 of a group of artists.
换句话说， 这些不是受过 In other words. these are not going to be...
训练的音乐家的诠释 the interpretations of trained musicians.
我觉得这是件好事 which I think is all to the good.
幻想曲里包含3种音乐 There are three kinds of music on this Fantasia program.
第一种是倾诉故事的音乐 First there's the kind that tells a definite story.
第二种音乐没有具体的情节 Then there's the kind. that while it has no specific plot.
但它能在你头脑形成一系列画面 does paint a series of more or less definite pictures.
第三种音乐 Then there's a third kind.
属于纯音乐 music that exists simply for its own sake.
幻想曲的序曲--- The number that opens our Fantasia program.
[触技与赋格]---就是属于第三种纯音乐 the ''Toccata and Fugue.'' is music of this third kind--
也即“绝对音乐” what we call ''absolute music.''
这种音乐甚至乐曲名都无意义 Even the title has no meaning...
超越了音乐名称本身 beyond a description of the form of the music.
现在屏幕上看到的是 What you will see on the screen...
不同抽象图片 is a picture of the various abstract images...
闪现在你眼前 that might pass through your mind...
如果你在演奏会上倾听这首音乐 if you sat in a concert hall listening to this music.
首先你会注意到管弦乐队 At first. you're more or less conscious of the orchestra.
开始想象出 so our picture opens...
一系列指挥员与乐手的画面 with a series of impressions of the conductor and players.
然后音乐引领你的想象 Then the music begins to suggest other things to your imagination.
想象的可能 They might be...
仅仅是错乱的颜色 oh.just masses of color.
或者可能是云的形状 Or they may be cloud forms...
或是漂亮的山水画或模糊的阴影 or great landscapes or vague shadows...
又或是漂浮在空的几何形状物体 or geometrical objects floating in space.
所以现在我们要介绍 So now we present...
巴哈的[D小调触技与赋格] the ''Toccata and Fugue in D Minor'' by Johann Sebastian Bach.
由华特迪士尼及他的同事画面诠释 interpreted in pictures by Walt Disney and his associates.
并且由费城交响乐团演奏 and in music by the Philadelphia Orchestra...
由史塔斯科斯基指挥 and its conductor. Leopold Stokowski.
你知道吗? 有趣的是 You know. it's funny...
艺术家对自己作品的观感有多么离普 how wrong an artist can be about his own work.
柴可夫斯基最讨厌的作品 The one composition of Tchaikovsky's that he really detested
是[胡桃夹子组曲] was his '' Nutcracker Suite.''
但这却是他最受欢迎的作品之一 which is probably the most popular thing he ever wrote.
它是[胡桃夹子芭蕾舞剧]中的一小段 It's a series of dances taken out of a full-length ballet called ''The Nutcracker''...
[胡桃夹子舞曲]是他曾经为圣彼得堡歌剧院谱写的舞曲 that he once composed for the St. Petersburg Opera House.
这曲子当时并不算成功，现在也没有人演凑它 It wasn't much of a success and nobody performs it nowadays.
但我确定，你会喜欢上这组曲的 but I'm pretty sure you'll recognize the music of the suite when you hear it.
顺便一提的是 你在莹幕上除了标题之外 Incidentally. you won't see any nutcracker on the screen.
不会看到任何胡桃夹子 There's nothing left of him but the title.
现在我们要听一首 Now we're going to hear a piece of music...
诉说明确故事的乐曲 that tells a very definite story.
事实上，作曲家是根据故事 As a matter of fact. in this case the story came first...
为之谱写成音乐的 and the composer wrote the music to go with it.
这是个几乎有两千年历史的古老故事 It's a very old story. one that goes back almost 2.000 years
有一个巫师他有个学徒 a legend about a sorcerer who had an apprentice.
这个学徒是个聪明的年轻人 他急切的想要学习巫术 He was a bright young lad. very anxious to learn the business.
事实上他有点儿“太聪明了” As a matter of fact. he was a little bit too bright.
因为他在还没有学习怎么 because he started practicing...
控制他老板的魔术之前 some of the boss's best magic tricks...
就开始使用了 before learning how to control them.
一天，他老师叫他 One day. for instance. when he'd been told by his master...
把锅里填满水 to carry water to fill a cauldron.
他想到一个绝妙的主意 he had the brilliant idea...
那就是召唤一把扫帚来运水 of bringing a broomstick to life to carry the water for him.
这办法开始还行得通 Well. this worked very well at first.
可后来，他忘记了魔法咒语 Unfortunately. however. having forgotten the magic formula...
来停止扫帚运水 that would make the broomstick stop carrying the water.
他发现他现在搞不定了 he found he'd started something he couldn't finish.
史塔科斯先生 史塔科斯先生 Mr. Stokowski. Mr. Stokowski.

他自己说他的目的 his purpose was. in his own words.

所以华特迪士尼和他的艺术家同事 So Walt Disney and his fellow artists...
就相信他的话 have taken him at his word.
他们不用原来的芭蕾舞形式 Instead of presenting the ballet in its original form...
与部落舞者的部分 as a simple series of tribal dances.
他们用华丽的盛会 they have visualized it as a pageant.
来表达地球上生命的成长故事 as the story of the growth of life on Earth.
这故事正如你所要见到的 And that story. as you're going to see it.
它并不是某人的想象 isn't the product of anybody's imagination.
它明确的阐述了 It's a coldly accurate reproduction...
科学界所认为这个星球刚生成时 of what science thinks went on during the first few...

恐龙有不同的形状与大小 They came in all shapes and sizes.
从鸡一样大小的爬行恐龙 From little crawling horrors about the size of a chicken...
到几百吨的大怪兽 to hundred-ton nightmares.
它们不聪明 They were not very bright.
甚至，最大的恐龙的大脑只有鸽子大脑一般大 Even the biggest of them had only the brain of a pigeon.
它们能生活在天上，水里，陆地上 They lived in the air and the water as well as on land.
它们是素食者 As a rule. they were vegetarians.
很友好，容易接触 rather amiable and easy to get along with.
然而，它们中也有恶霸与匪徒 However. there were bullies and gangsters among them.
最凶恶的恐龙，暴龙 The worst of the lot. a brute named Tyrannosaurus Rex...
它可能是地球上最残暴的杀手了 was probably the meanest killer that ever roamed the earth.
暴龙称霸地球约200万年 The dinosaurs were lords of creation for about 200 million years.
然后，不知道发生了什么 And then-- Well. we don't exactly know what happened.
有的科学家认为由于大干旱，大地震 Some scientists think that great droughts and earthquakes...
整个地球沙尘盖天 turned the whole world into a gigantic dustbowl.
也就是说，恐龙灭绝了 In any case. the dinosaurs were wiped out.
故事也就在这里结束了 That is where our story ends.
故事开始于很早很早以前 Where it begins is at a time infinitely far back...
开始于地球上还没有生命的时候 when there was no life at all on earth.

贝多芬所称的第六号交响曲[田园] The symphony that Beethoven called the '' Pastoral.''
是他的作品里面， his sixth. is one of the few pieces of music...
少数能够诉说明确故事的曲子之一 he ever wrote that tells something like a definite story.
他热爱大自然 He was a great nature lover.
在他的交响曲里 他用音乐描绘出 and in this symphony he paints a musical picture...
乡村的一天 of a day in the country.
当然啦! 贝多芬所描绘的乡村 Of course. the country that Beethoven described...
是他所熟悉的乡村 was the countryside with which he was familiar.
但是他的音乐涵盖更宽广的领域 But his music covers a much wider field than that.
所以华特迪士尼给予田园交响曲一个虚构的布景 and so walt disney has given the '' Pastoral Symphony'' a mythological setting.
那背景就是奥林匹斯山---诸神的住所 and that setting is of Mount Olympus. the abode of the gods.
首先来看看，住在那片森林的 And here. first of all. we meet a group of fabulous creatures...

我们幻想曲中的最后曲目 The last number in our Fantasia program...
是两首结构以及情境截然不同的乐曲 is a combination of two pieces of music...
结合在一起却能巧妙 so utterly different in construction and mood...
相辅相成 that they set each other off perfectly.
第一首是俄国的伟大作曲家穆索斯基 The first is ''A Night on Bald Mountain''...
所作的[荒山之夜] by one of Russia's greatest composers. Modeste Moussorgsky.
第二首是舒伯特永恒不朽的[圣母颂] The second is Franz Schubert's world-famous ''Ave Maria.''
画面呈现的是世俗与神圣 Musically and dramatically. we have here a picture...
音乐性与戏剧性之间的交战竞争 of the struggle between the profane and the sacred.
