約翰施特勞斯的故居在一條大街上，是一座沿街的粉紅色的四層樓老公寓房子。施特勞斯曾住在這座房子二層樓上的兩套房間裡，於1886年末到1867年初在這裡譜寫了《藍色的多瑙河》這支名曲。那時他已經42歲了，在維也納音樂界中負有盛名，但只是在這支樂曲問世以後，才奠定了他圓舞曲之王的地位。這座房子距多瑙河不遠，步行約半個多小時，當時還是一片大森林，施特勞斯常常穿過森林到河邊去散步，現在房屋已鱗次櫛比，成為熱鬧的大街了。

The former residence of John Strauss is situated on a big street, inside an old pink-colored four-story apartment building along the street. Strauss lived in two suites on the second floor of this building in which he composed from the end of 1866 to the beginning of 1867 the famous The Blue Danube Waltz. At that time he was already 42 years old and enjoyed a high reputation within the musical circle of Vienna. However, it was not until the composition of this melody that he became firmly established as the King of Waltz. The house in which he lived was not far away from the Danube River, which was within the reach of half an hours walk. At that time, there was a huge forest between the river and his house and Strauss would frequently go through the forest to have a walk by the side of the river. Now the forest has been replaced by rows and rows of densely adjacent houses and buildings, turning the place into noisy streets.

Though fond of many acquaintances, I desire an intimacy only with a few. The Man in Black, whom I have often mentioned, is one whose friendship I could wish to acquire, because he possesses my esteem. His manners, it is true, are tinctured with some strange inconsistencies, and he may be justly termed a humorist in a nation of humorists. Though he is generous even to profusion, he affects to be thought a prodigy of parsimony and prudence; though his conversation be replete with the most sordid and selfish maxims, his heart is dilated with the most unbounded love. I have known him profess himself a man-hater, while his cheek was glowing with compassion; and, while his looks were softened into pity, I have heard him use the language of the most unbounded ill-nature. Some affect humanity and tenderness, others boast of having such dispositions from Nature; but he is the only man I ever knew who seemed ashamed of his natural benevolence. He takes as much pains to hide his feelings, as any hypocrite would to conceal his indifference; but on every unguarded moment the mask drops off, and reveals him to the most superficial observer.

儘管我喜歡廣交朋友，但我只願與為數不多的幾人成為至交。我所提及的那位黑衣男士，就是那樣一個我希冀與其成為莫逆之交的人，因為他深得我的景仰。誠然，其行為舉止不乏某些怪異的出爾反爾，他全然可被稱為幽默家王國中的幽默大師。雖然他慷慨大方，乃至奢靡無度，但他仍假惺惺地希望人們將其視作節儉與審慎之奇才。儘管其言談之中滿是污穢和自私的格言，其內心卻充盈著最博大無際的愛心。據我所知，他常宣稱自己是人類憎惡者；然而，他的臉龐上卻總漾溢著憐憫之情。雖然其神情會柔化為一片慈悲，我卻聽到過他使用最為惡劣的言辭，其惡劣程度可謂無以復加。有些人佯裝人道與柔情，也有一些人則誇耀說這樣的秉性乃天性使然。但在我所有認識的人當中，唯有他似乎羞恥於其與生俱有的慈悲之心。他會竭力掩飾其真情，一如任何一個偽君子會掩飾其冷漠那樣。然則，在每一個毫無防範的瞬間，那戴著的假面具便會脫落下來，使其畢露於哪怕是最為膚淺的觀察者。
