One day, Beethoven walked into a restaurant for a meal. After placing his order, a sudden burst of inspiration struck him. He casually picked up the menu from the table and began composing on its back. Before long, he became completely absorbed in the beautiful melody he was creating. Seeing how deeply Beethoven was engrossed, the waiter dared not disturb him and decided to wait before serving the food. About an hour later, the waiter finally approached Beethoven and asked, "Sir, shall I serve your meal now?" Beethoven, as if waking up from a dream, immediately reached for his wallet to pay. The waiter was puzzled and replied, "Sir, you haven't eaten yet!" Beethoven insisted, "No, I am certain that I have already eaten." He did not listen to the waiter's repeated explanations. After paying according to the menu prices, he grabbed the menu covered in musical notes and rushed out of the restaurant.
有一天，贝多芬走进一家餐厅用餐。点完菜后，他突发奇想，顺手拿起桌上的菜单，开始在背面谱写曲子。没过多久，他便完全沉浸在自己创作的美妙旋律中。服务员见他如此投入，不敢打扰，打算稍后再上菜。大约一个小时后，服务员终于走到贝多芬身边问道：“先生，现在上菜吗？”贝多芬仿佛刚从梦中惊醒，立刻掏钱结账。服务员一脸困惑：“先生，您还没吃饭呢！”贝多芬却断然说道：“不，我确信我已经吃过了。”他根本听不进服务员反复的解释，按照菜单价格付清款项后，抓起那张写满音符的菜单，径直冲出了餐厅。
