将来会如何，我不知道。走进这尘世，自由自在，也许会令人兴奋。我的心欣喜若狂。

　　哦，我到底怎么啦，我本向往冒险，做我从未做过的事情。如今我正踏上冒险征程，为什么我会如此胆怯?

　　(哦，救救我。)

　　我对未来充满信心，除此之外，你还会看到我对自己充满信心。

　　(In front of the Von Trapps' house, Maria wonders at its grandeur. She knocks at the door. A man appears.)

　　M: Hello, here I am! I'm from the convent. I'm the new governess, Captain.

　　Franz: And I'm your butler, Fraulein.

　　M: Oh, well, how do you do? Hmm.

　　Franz: Wait here, please.

　　(While waiting, Maria enters a hall. It is such a magnificent hall, that she can't help dancing. The Captain appears.)

　　Captain (Short for C): Why do you stare at me that way?

　　M: Well, you don't look at all like a sea captain, sir.

　　C: I'm afraid you don't look much like a governess. Turn around, please.

　　M: What?

　　C: Turn. Hat off. It's the dress. You have to put on another one before you meet the children.

　　M: But I don't have another one. When we enter the abbey, our worldly clothes are given to the poor.

　　C: What about this one?

　　M: The poor didn't want this one.

　　C: Hmm.

　　M: I would have made myself a new dress but there wasn't time. I can make my own clothes.

　　C: Well, I'll see that you get some material. Today, if possible. Now, Fraulein...er....

　　M: Maria.

　　C: Fraulein Maria, I don't know how much the Mother has told you?

　　M: Not much.

　　C: You're the twelfth in a long line of governesses, who have come to look after my children since their mother died. I trust that you will be an improvement on the last one. She stayed only two hours.
