1999年股东大会 · 股东问巴菲特：你喜欢什么样的音乐？ — 文稿

M10:00

早上好。

Good morning.

我叫 Jenna。

My name is Jenna.

我来自纽约州的 Long Island，之前我在读你们的年度报告。

I'm from Long Island, New York, and I was reading through your annual report.

你提到了 Wagner，还有一首我从来没听说过的乡村西部歌曲。

You made reference to Wagner and some country-western song I never heard of.

我就是想问问，什么样的音乐会影响你？还有，你有没有打算拍一支音乐视频之类的？

I was just wondering what kind of music influences you, and are you planning on doing, like, a musical video?

嗯，我觉得，就凭我刚才在这部电影里的表现，我恐怕没什么前途了。

Well, I think with the performance I gave earlier here in the movie, I don't think there's any future for me.

M10:47

我太太非常有音乐天赋，但我觉得自己在这方面没什么前途。

And my wife is extremely musical, but I don't think I've got much of a future in it.

到目前为止，还从来没人邀请我回来再演一次。

So far, no one ever asked me to come back.

我的意思是，我有过很多开场表演，但真正返场的次数就少得可怜了。

I mean, I've had a lot of introductory appearances, but very few encores.

我什么类型的音乐都喜欢。

I like all kinds of music.

真的，我一直都很喜欢音乐。

I really, I've always liked music.

我们最开始是在家里唱教会圣歌。1942 年，我今天也在场的两个姐妹加入了我，在当时 Omaha 主要的广播电台 WOW 上做了一个十五分钟的节目。我们唱了《America the Beautiful》，结果我父亲就凭着那个节目当选了国会议员。

We started out around the house singing church hymns, and in 1942, my two sisters who are here today joined me in a 15-minute program on WOW, then the leading radio station in Omaha, and we sang "America the Beautiful," and my dad got elected to Congress on the back of that program.

我们喜欢把这份功劳算在自己头上。

We like to take credit for it.

会议结束的时候，你们会看到我的姐妹。

You see my sisters at the end of the meeting.

M21:45

Charlie，你喜欢什么样的音乐？

Charlie, what kind of music do you like?

我喜欢乡村音乐。

I like country music.

不过有一件事我同意：如果要让 Warren 当主演，那就应该演音乐剧。

Well, the one thing I agree with is that if we're going to star Warren, it should be in a musical.

演正剧可不行。

The straight acting won't do.

M12:04

顺便说一句，为了演 Annie，我花了整整一个小时才把自己弄成秃头。

It took me an hour to get that bald for Annie, incidentally.

弄秃头可是要花很长时间的。

It takes a long time to get bald.

请通知十三号区域的化妆间。

Dressing room, zone 13, please.

But I do have a very musical family, and since you asked, I will point out that my son Peter's recent CD is available at the Disney booth outside, and Peter had a very successful experience here on public television in March and will be on tour later on.
