JUDY: Yes, I know. You wrote a paper on the poem in university. It was a medieval poem, wasn't it? 朱蒂：我记得。你大学时曾经对这首诗写了一篇文章。 那是中古世纪的诗，不是吗？
SCOTT: Yes. So I even know the story very well. But I thought the opera was boring. It was pretentious. 史考特：是的，所以我甚至很清楚这个故事。 但是我还是觉得歌剧很无聊，太做作了。
JUDY: Pretentious? How can it be pretentious? Wagner is a great artist! 朱蒂：做作？怎么会做作呢？华格纳是个了不起的作曲家。
SCOTT: I'm sorry. I just think the whole thing is pretentious. The singing is too exaggerated. And I will say something else. 史考特：抱歉，我只是觉得整部戏很假。唱得太夸张了，还有别的。
JUDY: What? 朱蒂：还有什么？
SCOTT: I think a lot of people who go to opera don't understand what they hear. They only go because they think it is high class. 史考特：我觉得很多去看歌剧的人都不明白他们所听到的。他们去看只是因为认为那是有水准的。
JUDY: Probably you're right. But you're not saying I'm that way, are you? 朱蒂：也许你对。你不会是说我也是那样吧？
SCOTT: No, not at all. I know you understand music very well. But you can't say most of the audience understands, can you? 史考特：不是。我知道你懂音乐。但是你不能说大部份的观众都懂吧？
