A girl held a cello as big as herself, closed her eyes, and played melodious music. Listen carefully, as if wearing a dress made of good silk and decorated with diamonds, dancing alone in the gorgeous lobby, revealing a kind of lonely beauty. At the end of the song, thunderous applause came from the entertainment hall, all for the girl holding the cello on the stage. The girl was wearing a black evening dress and a pair of short-heeled women's black leather shoes. Her hair was coiled up, and her face was also painted with light makeup. When she went down the stage, Joanna come toward and said, "Very nice play! It's a height I will never reach." Miranda replied, "It can't be compared. You learned Guzheng." After Joanna left, Frank and Phillip come." I didn't know you could play the cello!" Frank said with aggrieved expression. "Nice." said Phillip.

一个女孩拿着一把和自己一样大的大提琴，闭着眼睛，演奏着悠扬的乐曲。仔细听，仿佛穿着上好的丝绸制成的、镶满钻石的礼服，在华丽的大堂里独自起舞，透露着一种孤独的美。一曲终了，演艺厅里响起了雷鸣般的掌声，这都是为了舞台上那个拿着大提琴的女孩。女孩身着一袭黑色晚礼服，脚上一双短跟女式黑皮鞋。她的头发盘了起来，脸上也画着淡妆。当她走下舞台时，乔安娜走过来说：“非常好的表演！这是我永远无法达到的高度。” 米兰达回答：“不能相提并论，你学的是古筝。” 乔安娜离开后，弗兰克和菲利普也来了。 “你从来没说过你会拉大提琴！” 弗兰克一脸委屈的说道。 “不错。” 菲利普说道。
