大千世界:14岁男孩成乐队指挥
At 14, and recently appointed as director of a Venezuelan youth orchestra, Jose Angel Salazar may well be the youngest conductor in the world, the Guardian reported.
据英国《卫报》报道，14岁男孩何塞•安杰尔•萨拉查最近被任命为委内瑞拉一个青年交响团的指挥，他很可能是世界上最年轻的指挥家。
Salazar has between 70 and 80 musicians at his command in the Youth Orchestra of Nueva Esparta, more than half of whom are older than him.
萨拉查指挥着新埃斯帕塔青年管弦乐团的70至80名乐手，这里一半以上的人都比他大。
Salazar is one of the success stories to come out of the Venezuelan orchestra system known as El Sistema, having joined at the age of eight.
他8岁时加入委内瑞拉青少年管弦乐团系统，成为该系统培养的诸多成功音乐家中的一个。
Salazar lives with his parents, who are schoolteachers, and his grandparents. Neither he nor anyone in his family had much exposure to classical music, let alone formal music training.
他与父母、祖父母住在一起，父母是学校老师。他以及家人都没有接触过古典音乐，更别说接受正规音乐训练了。
