這場戲：以為誓願應驗又去尋他
第 2 章 · 共 25 章 · 2'49"
薩列里向神父回憶：他當年發過誓，起初以為上帝真的應了——沒幾年就當上 court composer（宮廷作曲家）。他說自己 was a model of virtue（是美德的典範），kept my hands off women（從不碰女人）。可緊接著一句 Until he came（直到他來了），一切就變了。想學怎麼講人生轉折、怎麼自我表彰，這幾句很有戲。
❝ 獨白 · 4 句 他自稱「美德的典範」：a model of virtue

天賦會「寫在臉上」嗎：written on the face
seek him out 找到他、找到並接近a little game with myself 自娛自樂的小把戲written on the face 寫在臉上、看得出來
薩列里對著福格勒神父回憶自己的「得救」：My life changed forever（我的人生從此徹底變了），他認定 God had arranged it all（這一切都是上帝安排的），因為他當年許過誓。他以為誓願應驗了——沒幾年就成了 court composer（宮廷作曲家），天天陪奧地利皇帝彈二重奏。他還強調自己遵守誓言：was a model of virtue（美德的典範），kept my hands off women（從不碰女人），教學生常常 for free（白教）。可這一切在 Until he came（直到他來了）之後結束。他趕到薩爾茨堡大主教府邸，去 seek him out（找到他），心裡還玩著一個小遊戲：那樣的才華，written on the face（會寫在臉上嗎）。想學怎麼講述轉折、自我辯護，這些表達很到位。
