Mr. Holland's opus霍兰先生的乐章

My - My apologies for my tardiness, and uh, Principle Walters, I’d like to know. Yes, I brought a note for my mother. Mr Holland had a profound influence on my life, on a lot of lives, I know. And, yet, I get the feeling that he considers a great part of his own life misspent. Rumor had it, he was always working on this symphony of his and this was going to make him famous, rich - probably both. But Mr Holland isn’t rich and he isn’t famous, at least not outside of our little town. So it might be easy for him to think himself a failure. And he would be wrong, because I think he’s achieved a success far beyond riches and fame. Look around you. There is not a life in this room that you have not touched. And each of us is a better person because of you. We are your symphony, Mr Holland. We are the melodies and the notes of your opus. And we are the music of your life. Mr Holland, we would now live to give something back to you, to you and your wife, who, along with you, has waited 30 years for what we are about to hear. If you will, would you please come up here and take this baton and lead us in the first performance ever of “The American Symphony” by Glenn Holland.
我为我的迟到深表歉意。还有，我带来了我母亲的一封短信。我知道，霍兰先生深刻影响了我的生活，影响了许多人的生活。但是，我感到，他认为自己是在虚度生命口有人谣传，他一直在创作一部交响乐，这会令他声名显赫，财源滚滚一也许两者兼得。然而，霍兰先生既不富有，又没名气，至少在我们这个小镇土之外的地方是这样的。所以，他很容易觉得自己一无所成。可是他错了，因为我觉得他所取得的成功远远超越了金钱和盛名。看看您的周围。这间房子里没有哪个人没有被您感动过。我们每一个人因为您而更加优秀。霍兰先生，我们就是您的交响乐。我们是您乐章的旋律和音符。我们是您生活中的音乐。霍兰先生，我们现在要回报您，回报您和一直陪伴您左右的您的妻子，气十年来我们一直期待着听到这个乐章。如果您愿意，您是否愿意到这儿来，拿起指挥棒，带领我们第一次演奏格伦·霍兰的“美国交响乐”。
