“Our lack of consolidation in negotiatingisa key reason that we pay more than other countries — but also this unwillingness to negotiate as hard,” said Stacie Dusetzina, a health policy expert at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

Para.1
What time and age actually do to music — to those who write it as much as those who perform it — islatentlyunderstood by the many listeners whoadorelate works but curiously underexamined. Less a maturing of sound or style, final compositions or performances often appear more as a reduction, the feeling of being left with the most essential expression of a person’s musical ideas. There are countless historical precedents for those who found greatest invention in their later years: Beethoven, Goethe, Monet are just a few.
时间和年龄会对音乐造成什么实际影响——对那些创作音乐的人和那些演奏音乐的人来说有什么影响——很多喜欢晚期作品的听众会潜心理解这些东西，但很奇怪又没有充分研究。翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布~那些在晚年阶段创造出最伟大的创作的人也创造了历史无数先例：贝多芬、歌德、莫奈只是其中的几个。

Para.2
It was while listening to Slenczynska’s album,uninhibitedand elemental as it is, that I was struck by what has changed. It’s not just the fact that people are living, and working, for longer that has caused a shift in the classical music world, but also the longoverduebroadening of the identities and figures we appreciate. If the past few decades of classical music were an era thatfetishisedthewunderkind, we have entered, in recent years, the era of the wunderalten, the olderprodigy.
正是在听斯伦琴斯卡的专辑时，尽管其风格不羁且原始，我还是对它的变化感到震惊。导致古典音乐世界发生转变的不仅仅是人们的寿命和工作时间延长，还有我们所欣赏的身份和人物早该得到拓宽。如果说过去几十年的古典音乐是一个崇拜神童的时代，那么近年来我们已经进入了后神童时代，即大龄奇才的时代。

Para.3
It would not be anoverstatementto say that the past 200 years of musical history would have taken a different course had Beethoven not lived and, crucially, aged and died. It was in the years before he died, deaf and diseased, at the age of 56, that he wrote a series of works so strange and radical that they almost single-handedlywrenchedthe Classical era into the Romantic.
毫不夸张地说，如果贝多芬不曾活在这个世上，而且最重要的是不曾衰老和死亡，过去200年的音乐史将会走上不同的道路。正是在他56岁的年纪里，患耳聋、疾病进而去世之前的几年里，他写下了一系列如此奇怪且激进的作品，这些作品几乎凭一己之力将古典时代带入了浪漫主义时代。

By writing them, Beethoven broke from the conventions that formed him and created something no one had ever heard before. His culturaldescendants— Brahms, then Wagner, later Shostakovich and, eventually, LeFanu herself — arein his debtfor making their work possible.
通过写下这些作品，贝多芬打破了过往曾经塑造他的成规，创造了一些前所未见的东西。他的文化继承者们——勃拉姆斯、瓦格纳、肖斯塔科维奇，最后是勒法努——都认为正是贝多芬让他们的作品成为可能。

Para.5
The tendency to view age and conservatism as interlinked trajectories might be convincing in the realm of politics, but they often have an inverse relationship in art. A desire to avoid repetition,recedingfear of how the work will be received and an increased awareness of time make for later work that can tend towards the radical or bold.
把年龄和保守主义看作是相互关联的轨迹的惯性看法在政治领域可能有说服力，但在艺术领域二者往往是相反的关系。避免重复的渴望、对作品将如何被大众接受的恐惧的消退以及对时间的意识的增强，使得后来的作品可能趋于激进或大胆。
