问题    【F1】I believe that we have the power to first affect change in ourselves—then, with a bit of courage and determination, that change may grow outward to our partner, our family, our street, our community… our world.
   【F2】Knowing that music holds the astonishing power to be both an intensely individual as well as a communal experience, I saw the potential to connect with each listener and invite them for one happy moment to stop looking outside and pointing fingers at each other.
   So I decided to pose a question: "In the midst of chaos, how do you find peace?"
   【F3】I wanted to ask people from all walks of life and so I simply sent out requests, contacting people I know, and others via friends or colleagues: reaching out to people I’ve met during my travels. I randomly wrote to Patrick Stewart, who, to my great delight, answered immediately. Many other requests went unanswered, but I have had answers from a huge range of people. From prisoners at Sing Sing I have worked with, to supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—an opera lover and friend. 【F4】I essentially reached out to people from every corner of the globe that I knew, as well as asking people I meet every day: the British Sufi taxi driver and the American teacher who works in Istanbul are connected to revolutionaries there. In truth, many of their answers have found me.
   A young Indian boy who attends a school for children with leprosy (麻风病) replied: "When surrounded by chaos, I see people in need and then I find myself among the most fortunate, blessed people."
   I’m aware that there could be a danger in viewing the chaos of today through a daringly innocent lens—and then I hear the music of Purcell and it is simplicity incarnate: instantly, it brings calm. Handel comforts with his total serenity of harmony. And a compass towards peace immediately returns.
   I have often declared that music can heal. 【F5】Perhaps it is time to remember that this incredible power is where we are at our best, and how truly simple it is to return there—if we are brave and determined enough. The comfort music provides can restore. Here is the preliminary, glorious conclusion I am reaching: the key to peace is utter simplicity.

答案我明白,无论是对于个人,还是集体而言,音乐都有着令人震惊的力量。我看见音乐有这样的潜能,能把每一个听众的心连系起来,并把他们带进充满快乐的时刻,让他们不再四处张望,互相责骂。

解析 ①本句是一个主从复合句。主干是简单的主谓宾结构,后面带有较长的后置定语。②句首非谓语Knowing…的逻辑主语是I,其后that引导宾语从句,说明“我”了解的事情。③主干宾语the potential后面省略了of music,这里指的是音乐的潜力。其后带有两个由and连接的不定式短语to connect with each listener和(to)invite them…moment。句末同样出现一个不定式短语to stop…other作moment的后置定语。
