1我曾在愛荷華州德莫尼斯做過小學(xué)音樂教師。30年來，我一直經(jīng)過教鋼琴課來補(bǔ)助家用。在這些年里，我發(fā)覺孩子們音樂才能參差不齊。2即使我曾教過一些音樂才華很高學(xué)生，然而我也接收過我稱之為“缺乏音樂天賦學(xué)生”。羅比就是這么學(xué)生。羅比在11歲那年由他媽媽（一位單親媽媽）開車送到了我這兒來上第一節(jié)鋼琴課。參考譯文BACK

3我認(rèn)為學(xué)生們尤其是男孩子應(yīng)該盡早開始學(xué)習(xí)鋼琴，我向羅比解釋了這一點(diǎn)。但羅比卻說，能夠聽到他彈奏鋼琴一直是他媽媽愿望。這么我才收他做了學(xué)生。就這么，羅比開始了他鋼琴課。然而，從一開始，我便認(rèn)為這種努力徒勞無益。

4即使羅比很努力，可他缺乏對音調(diào)和基本節(jié)奏敏感，而這是想成為出類拔萃音樂家所必備。盡管如此，他還是認(rèn)真地練習(xí)音階和一些我要求全部學(xué)生都要學(xué)習(xí)基本曲目。幾個月來，羅比一直在努力練習(xí)，同時我也在尷尬地聽著并試著勉勵他。每七天課程結(jié)束時，他總是說：“我媽媽有朝一日會聽到我演奏?！钡@看來希望渺茫，他實在沒有什么天賦。參考譯文BACK

5我只在羅比媽媽開車送羅比上課，或是坐在她舊車?yán)锏攘_比放課時遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地見過她。她送他來時總是笑著揮別，但從沒進(jìn)過課堂。以后有一天，羅比不再來上課了。我想過要打個電話，不過猜測他是因為缺乏這方面能力而決定去學(xué)習(xí)其它事情了。我也很欣慰羅比不再來上課了，因為他是我教學(xué)不成功例子。

6幾周后，我給學(xué)生們家里寄去通知單，通知他們參加即將到來實習(xí)公演。出乎我意料，收到通知羅比問詢是否能夠讓他也參加這個演奏會。我告訴他，這個演奏會只會安排在讀學(xué)生，他現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)退出鋼琴課了，所以并不夠資格參加。他說因為媽媽病了，所以無法送他上鋼琴課，但他一直在堅持練琴。參考譯文BACK7羅比堅持著：“洪朵夫小姐，我一定要去演出！”。不知道出于什么原因，我同意了他要演奏請求?；蛟S是他堅持，又或許是我內(nèi)心深處認(rèn)為讓他演奏是正確。8公演之夜到來了。中學(xué)體育館座無虛席，父母、朋友和親戚都來觀看孩子們演出。我把羅比安排在學(xué)生節(jié)目標(biāo)最終，也就是在我上臺感激全部學(xué)生并演奏終曲之前。我想他可能造成糟糕情況只能在節(jié)目將要結(jié)束時才出現(xiàn)，而我總能夠憑自己“壓軸戲”來挽救他差勁演出?！?/p>

參考譯文BACK9演奏會開始得很順利。因為學(xué)生們一直都在練習(xí)，所以他們現(xiàn)場發(fā)揮很好。終于，輪到羅比上場了，他衣服皺皺巴巴，頭發(fā)亂七八糟。我納悶：為何他不像其它學(xué)生一樣穿戴整齊？為何他媽媽甚至沒有讓他為這個尤其夜晚整理一下頭發(fā)？

10羅比拉出琴凳并開始演奏。讓我吃驚是，他宣告他要演奏莫扎特《C大調(diào)第21號鋼琴協(xié)奏曲》。他彈奏出乎我意料。他手指竟然在琴鍵上輕盈地跳動。他把莫扎特要求掛留和弦彈得那么棒！我從未聽到像羅比這個年紀(jì)孩子能把莫扎特曲子演奏得那么好。

參考譯文BACK

11六分半鐘后，羅比演奏結(jié)束了，每個人都站起來熱烈地鼓掌。我激動不已，淚流滿面地跑上舞臺欣喜地抱住羅比。“我從沒聽你彈過這么好！你是怎么做到？”

12對著話筒，羅比解釋說：“嗯，洪朵夫小姐，還記得我告訴你我媽媽病了嗎？實際上，她得了癌癥，今天早上逝世了。而且……她生下來就聽不見任何聲音，所以今晚是她第一次聽到我彈琴。我希望我演奏成為對她尤其獻(xiàn)禮?！眳⒖甲g文BACK

13那天晚上，在場每個人眼睛都濕潤了。我心里想，因為接收羅比成為我學(xué)生，我生活變得多么豐富啊。因為正是他教給我堅持不懈和愛真諦，教會我相信自己，甚至在不知道為何情況下，去試著相信他人。After-reading
