一提到斯特拉迪瓦里（Stradivari）或瓜内利（Guarneri）,拉小提琴的人都知道,这些都是价格不菲的名琴,可以贵达好几百万元。但最近美国达拉斯市一名生物化学家却声称,他发现了这些琴之所以名贵的原因。原来,这个秘密不在造琴的技术有多高明,而在于用来处理琴木的化学物展——硼砂身上。硼砂可在常用的洗衣粉里找到,但却没有人知道它能使一把新琴发出像斯特拉迪瓦里琴一样的声音。 When it comes to Stradivari or Guarneri, all those who play the violin know that these are expensive instruments that can cost millions of dollars. But recently a biochemist in Dallas, USA claimed he found the reason why these chines are so expensive. It turned out that the secret is not how skillful piano technique, but rather to deal with the chemical industry show piano - borax body. Borax is found in common laundry detergent, but no one knows it can make a new piano sound like a Stradivarius.
