TextBAViolinwithThreeStrings三弦小提琴OnNov.18th,1995,ItzhakPerlman,theviolinist,cameonstagetogiveaconcertatAveryFisherHallatLincolnCenterinNewYorkCity.1995年11月18日，小提琴家伊扎克·帕尔曼在纽约市林肯中心的埃弗里费雪厅上台准备开始一场音乐会。IfyouhaveeverbeentoaPerlmanconcert,youknowthatgettingonstageisnosmallachievementforhim.Hewasstrickenwithpolioasachild,andsohehasbracesonbothlegsandwalkswithaidoftwocrutches.Toseehimwalkacrossthestageonestepatatime,painfullyandslowly,isanawesomesight.如果你曾听过帕尔曼的音乐会，你就知道登台演出对他来说是个非凡的成就。他幼年患有小儿麻痹症，两条腿都安有铁夹，靠拄两个拐杖走路。看着他一步一步艰辛、缓慢地穿过舞台，那场面真令人敬畏!Hewalkspainfully,yetmajestically,untilthereacheshischair.Thenhesitsdown,slowly,putshiscrutchesonthefloor,undoestheclaspsonhislegs,tucksonefootbackandextendstheotherfootforward.Thenhebendsdownandpicksuptheviolin,putsitunderhischin,nodstotheconductorandproceedstoplay.他艰辛但又庄重地走到椅子边，慢慢坐下，把拐杖放到地板上，解开腿上的扣钩，把一只脚掰向身后，把另一只脚伸向身前。接着，他弯下身拿起小提琴，放到身上，用下巴顶好。他朝乐队指挥点头示意，随即开始了演奏。Bynow,theaudienceisusedtothisritual.Theysitquietlywhilehemakeshiswayacrossthestagetohischair.Theyremainreverentlysilentwhileheundoestheclaspsonhislegs.Theywaituntilheisreadytoplay.一直以来，观众都对他的开场动作习以为常。他们静静地坐着，看帕尔曼艰难地穿过舞台走向椅子。他们一言不发，带着敬意看帕尔曼解开两条腿上的扣钩。他们等着他开始演奏。Butthistime,somethingwentwrong.Justashefinishedthefirstfewbars,oneofthestringsonhisviolinbroke.Youcouldhearitsnap–itwentofflikegunfireacrosstheroom.Therewasnomistakingwhatthatsoundmeant.Therewasnomistakingwhathehadtodo.一直以来，观众都对他的开场动作习以为常。他们静静地坐着，看帕尔曼艰难地穿过舞台走向椅子。他们一言不发，带着敬意看帕尔曼解开两条腿上的扣钩。他们等着他开始演奏。Wefiguredthathewouldhavetogetup,putontheclapsagain,pickupthecrutchesandlimphiswayoffstage–toeitherfindanotherviolinorelsefindanotherstringforthisone.Buthedidn’t.instead,hewaitedamoment,closedhiseyesandthensignaledtheconductortobeginagain.我们猜想他会不得不放弃演奏，重新扣上腿上的扣钩，拿起拐杖，一瘸一拐地走下舞台。他要么去找另一把小提琴，要么去为断弦的小提琴找另一根弦。但是他没有。他等了一小会儿，闭上眼睛，接着向乐队指挥示意重新开始。Theorchestrabegan,andheplayedfromwherehehadleftoff.Andheplayedwithsuchpassionandsuchpowerandsuchpurityastheyhadneverheardbefore.乐队又开始了演奏，他从刚才停下的部分开始。观众从来没有听过他这么富有激情、饱含力量的纯净的演奏。Ofcourse,anyoneknowsthatitisimpossibletoplayasymphonicworkwithjustthreestrings.Iknowthat,andyouknowthat,butthatnightItzhakPerlmanrefusedtoknowthat.Youcouldseehimmodulating,changing,re-composingthepieceinhishead.Atonepoint,itsoundedlikehewasde-turningthestringstogetnewsoundsfromthemthattheyhadnevermadebefore.当然，任何人都知道仅靠三根弦是不可能演奏交响乐的。我们大家都知道这个事实，但是伊扎克·帕尔曼当晚却坚定证明他能够做到。你能感觉到他在脑海中转调、改变和重新谱写着这支曲子。听起来像是他在微调琴弦的音调，使其发出以前没有发出过的新声音。Whenhefinished,therewasanawesomesilenceintheroom.Andthenpeopleroseandcheered.Therewasanextraordinaryoutburstofapplausefromeverycorneroftheauditorium.Wewereallonourfeet,screamingandcheering,doingeverythingwecouldtoshowhowmuchweappreciatedwhathehaddone.Hesmiled,wipedthesweatfromhisbrow,raisedhisbowtoquietus,andthenhesaid–notboastfully,butinquiet,pensive,reverenttone–“Youknow,sometimesitistheartist’stasktofindouthowmuchyoucanstillmakewithwhatyouhaveleft.”当他表演结束的时候，整个音乐大厅寂静无声。然后大家都起立为他鼓掌喝彩。音乐厅里到处都爆发出雷鸣般的掌声。我们都站起来，尖叫着，欢呼着，尽一切所能来表达我们对帕尔曼演奏的赞赏。他笑了，擦去额头上的汗水，举起小提琴的琴弓示意让我们安静下来。接着他用一种低沉的、深思的和带有恭敬却丝毫没有自夸的语气对我们说，“大家知道，有的时候，音乐家的天职就是去发现使用残缺的乐器仍能演奏出什么音乐来。”Whatapowerfullinethatis!IthasstayedinmymindeversinceIheardit.Andwhoknows?Perhapsthatisthedefinitionoflife–notjustforartists,butforallofus.这是一句多么引人深思的话啊!从听到这句话的那一刻起我就一直把它铭记于心。谁知道呢?也许这就是生命的真谛——不只是对音乐家，对我们所有的人来说都适用。Hereisamanwhohaspreparedallhislifetomakemusiconaviolinwithfourstrings,who,allofasudden,inthemiddleofaconcert,findshimselfwithonlythreestrings;sohemakes
