An excerpt from the text:

There is no more beautiful sound in all the world than four people blending their voices in perfect harmony.

Such is the quartette of fools described in the following paragraphs: three members cannot sing, cannot harmonize, yet the fourth produces the finest harmony in the world!

本文摘录:

全世界上再没有更美丽的音调比得上四个人的声音一致和谐地混合在一起。相反地、最悲惨的哀鸣来自一些杂乱、冲突的声音。这正是以下几段描述的四个愚人 : 其中三位不能唱、不能和声、然而第四位产生出全世界最优秀、谐和的音调 !
