As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!
我们度过了一个漫长的穿过旧德里的一个市场,我们在一个广场上停下来休息。过了一段时间,我们注意到有一个带着两个大筐的耍蛇人在广场的另一边,于是我们走过去看他。当他看见我们,就拿起了一个长长的上面镶有硬币,打开了一个篮子。当他开始吹一支曲子时,我们才第一次看到那条蛇。它从筐里探出,扭动的管。我们感到非常惊奇,当耍蛇人突然开始演奏爵士乐和现代流行歌曲。那条蛇,但是,继续缓慢地舞动。它显然分辨不出印度音乐和爵士乐!
