Beethoven was extremely influential as among the first composers to work freelance rather than being employed full-time by a royal or ecclesiastic patron.(贝多芬作为并非全职供职于皇家和教会赞助人，而作为自由职业者的首位作曲家而极具影响力。)
There is, however, one side of life to which he is entirely blind, as was perhaps natural in an ecclesiastic writing before the Age of Salons.(有一个生活层面他是完全一无所知的，这也难怪，要知道在沙龙时代之前所有神职作品都从来没有提及过。)
The sounds of the church singing ceased and the voice of the chief ecclesiastic was heard, respectfully congratulating the sick man on his reception of the mystery.(唱诗中断了，可以听见一个神职人员恭敬地祝贺病人受圣礼。)
