A legendary music teacher behind a world-renowned method has been accused of being a fraud and lying about befriending Albert Einstein. 始创世界知名小提琴教学法的传奇音乐教师近日被指控是个骗子，他曾说过的与爱因斯坦是朋友等之类的话都是骗人的。 Shinichi Suzuki, founder of the Suzuki method which has been used by millions, claimed he spent eight years studying in Germany and cited Einstein as his 'guardian'. 这 个小提琴教师名叫铃木镇一，为百万人所用的铃木教学法的创始人，曾经宣称他早年在德国学习了八年时间，爱因斯坦还做过他的“监护人”。 It has now emerged that the Japanese musician was rejected from the prestigious Berlin music school at auditions, and only met Einstein once to sell him a violin. 而最近浮出水面的事实是：这位日本音乐家实际上在颇具盛名的柏林音乐学院的试音阶段就被淘汰了，而且他也只见过爱因斯坦一面，还是在卖小提琴给爱因斯坦的时候见的。 The Suzuki method has taught millions of children since it was launched by the Japanese violinist in the late 1950s. 铃木教学法自上世纪50年代创立以来已经教授了上百万名学习小提琴的孩子。 It sees children start playing an instrument as young as possible, preferably around the age of three, and learn by playing the same short pieces repeatedly from memory. |
