Drummer Hits the Road
鼓手走人
Ma Ming, drummer for the rock band “Storm”, had to pack his bags. He moved out of his rented flat after complaints from his neighbours about disturbing the peace.
摇滚乐队“暴风雨”的鼓手马明不得不收拾行李,搬出租用的公寓,因为邻居们投诉他扰乱社区的宁静。
Being single, Ma Ming often held parties at night, but the biggest problem was his tendency to drum late at night. Ma Ming’s neighbours said they were being driven mad being exposed to such noise. The flat-owner said if he had known that Ma Ming was a drummer, he wouldn’t have rented the flat to him. The neighbours quickly realised they were in trouble when he moved in. And from then on, they rarely got a full night’s sleep. They couldn’t relax or read a book without plugging their ears. One neighbour also claimed that Ma Ming had a bad influence on his teenage son.
马明是个单身汉,经常在晚上开派对,但最大的问题是他常常打鼓到深夜。邻居说他们都快被这样的噪声逼疯了。房东说他如果知道马明是个鼓手,就不会把房子租给他。马明一搬进来,邻居们就意识到麻烦来了。从那以后,他们很少能安安稳稳地睡一整晚。如果不堵住耳朵,他们就不能放松或看书。有个邻居还说,马明对他十几岁的儿子造成了不良影响。

最后,居委会采取了行动。一位居委会成员说:“我们投票表决,达成了一项决议。警告马明,告诉他应该停止打鼓,否则就搬走。充足的睡眠对人们的健康很重要,收到这样的集体投诉,我们不得不采取行动。”
Ma Ming’s departure has pleased his neighbours. “Life will go back to normal now,” they said.
马明离开了,邻居都很高兴。“生活终于要恢复正常了,”他们说。
For Ma Ming’s version of the story, we found him in a hotel in Shanghai. Ma Ming felt that they were prejudiced against him. He’s bitter over the fact that people thought of his music as “noise”. Otherwise he didn’t really mind having to leave the flat. “Living in a hotel means the hotel staff?makes the bed every day and I don’t have to do my own washing! Anyhow, I’m now looking for a
