学到了什么呢，
有些点不能钻进去，就算钻了也没关系，要深入浅出，浅还是很有必要的，上下文+语气，慢慢理解
理解一个怪异单词的本意、看不懂解释可以查查必应图片，然后打开思维脑洞，套入文章，体悟精妙
古典乐当然不会灭绝，情怀啊情怀啊，也许以后会有些形式改变？呃，机器人没有感情吧。人要是一首曲子弹了百八十遍其实该厌的也厌了，再能入境的话心也真的很累啊。还是观众最幸福，听到感动泪流不止，也别想着我也要学，真学当然是要付出代价的，消磨了初心没了激情，艺术 纯粹自然难得。 有些事啊，喜欢也不一定自己要去做。爱一行做一行？其实我们大多可能并非如此。喜欢听解析历史，当考古学家何如？喜欢文学，当被断了思路被催稿头疼的小说家？喜欢明星，当时刻保持完美的透明人？
