A friend who was down in the dumps wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. His life was full of problems. His heart was full of worries. He was low on hope.
几周前,一位生活几经波折的友人给我来信,说他的生活中充斥着麻烦,对此他忧心忡忡、感到无望。
He ended his letter to me with this question: “We can’t really change this crazy world we live in, can we?” I answered him immediately and started my own letter with these words: “Yes, we most certainly can!”
在信的结尾他问了这样一个问题:“我们确实无法改变这个疯狂的世界,难道不是么?”我即刻回信,以“我们当然能改变世界”来开头。
I can still remember one of the first times someone changed my world. She was the music teacher at my elementary school, the guitarist at our church, and a family friend.
在很多的第一次中我犹记得一个人改变了我的世界。她是我小学时的音乐老师,也是一名教堂吉他手,同时也是我们家的朋友。
I had a huge crush on her too and wanted to impress her more than anything. I had no talent at any instrument, however, and my singing while enthusiastic was quite awful.
我深深的对她着迷,做一切能够引起她注意的事情。在乐器方面我没有天赋;唱歌嘛,虽然饱含热情但是五音不全。
One day she let me try playing her guitar. I did my best but could only stumble along. When I was done I put my head down. “I guess I am not very good,” I told her.
