lowingpassageintoChinese.2001年7月7日，耶路撒冷举行的一场音乐会在以色列引起了轩然大波。世界著名指挥家DanielBarenboim率领德国管弦乐团在以色列艺术节上正在演奏瓦格纳的音乐，而瓦格纳是一个反犹太的德国作曲家，也是希特勒最欣赏的音乐家。建国以来的五十多年里，以色列一直都有这么一条不成文的禁忌——不公开演出瓦格纳的任何作品。因为对许多以色列犹太人和大屠杀幸存者来说，瓦格纳的音乐是和希特勒政权紧紧联系在一起的。尽管瓦格纳的作品在全世界范围内广为人知并到处演出，但在以色列只要一提起瓦格纳就会激起人们的愤怒和谴责。但Barenboim坚持认为，瓦格纳的反犹太主义思想既不能忽视，也不可简单地等同于他的音乐。他的音乐因其艺术价值值得人们欣赏，一个民主的社会不应当禁止人们欣赏这样的作品。*FreeTemplatefromwww.brainybetty.com*TextIISimpleHabits,DeepThoughtsReferenceforquestionsHeissimpleinhishabits.Hedoesnotpaymuchattentiontohispersonalappearance.Hisclothesarebaggyandhewearsbedroomslipperswhenwalkingonthestreets.Basicallythetheoryproposed,amongotherthings,thatthegreatestspeedpossibleisthespeedoflight;thattherateofaclockmovingthroughspacewilldecreaseasitsspeedincreases;andtheenergyandmassareequalandinterchangeable.*FreeTemplatefromwww.brainybetty.com*Toillustratehisprofoundidea,Einsteincomparesittothewaysonefeelswhenheissittingwithanicegirlandwhenheissittingonahotstove.Wagnerwasarrogant,aggressive,andself-centeredwhereasEinsteinwasmodest,amiableandeasy-going.WagnerwasmonsterbutEinsteinwasabsolutelyagentleman.
