38 According to the author, why would a person not want to watch Othello seventy-one times?
(A) It is a tragedy.
(B) He might feel tired of it.
(C) It is full of difficult words.
(D) He would find it too abstract.

Reading test: Words are concrete確實的；具體的，有形, used to express concreteconcrete thoughts and feelings and to deliver practical information; music is, by its very nature, abstract抽象.

When the two are put together, the resulting因而發生的；作為結果 tension感受, （精神上的）creates an excitement and an extra dimension空間，尺寸, 層面 which is denied to the spoken theater（theatre的美式拼寫）電影院.

For example, Shakespeare莎士比亚’s Othello《奥賽羅》is a great play, and Verdi’s Otello which is based on it is a great opera.

I think that, if one had seen Shakespeare’s Othello seventy times one would be hard put to it to derive much enjoyment from a seventy-first encounter偶然相遇，邂逅.

But after seventy performances of the opera one can still find new beauty and subtleties微妙；巧妙 to marvel奇異的事物 at.

Similarly同樣地；相似地, Beaumarchais’ play Le mariage de Figaro, entertaining though it is, is not something one would want to see once or twice a year throughout one’s lifetime.

But ask any opera-lover whether he is tired of Mozart’s opera based on the play and you will learn that he is not, for its riches are inexhaustible用不完的，無窮無盡.

Music brings a greater complexity錯綜複雜，複雜性 to the spoken drama and turns it into a different kind of experience.
