For time is the medium of narration, as it is the medium of life. Both are inextricably bound up with it, as are bodies in space. Similarly, time is the medium of music; music divides, measures, articulates time, and can  shorten it, yet enhance its value, both at once.

  • -- Thomas Mann 托马斯·曼

因为时间是叙述的媒介,正如它是生活的媒介一样。两者都与之密不可分,就像太空中的物体一样。同样,时间是音乐的媒介;音乐可以分割、度量、阐明时间,可以缩短时间,同时又能提高时间的价值。
