I started learning the piano at thirty-five. 我三十五岁才开始学钢琴。
My teacher is patient. 我的老师很有耐心。
For one month, I've been practicing the same short piece. 这一个月来,我一直在练同一首小曲子。
A simple one. 很简单的曲子。
Every evening, twenty minutes, the same thirty-two bars. 每天晚上练二十分钟,翻来覆去就是那三十二个小节。
My left hand doesn't listen to my right hand. 我的左手总是不听右手使唤。
My fingers land on the wrong keys. 手指老是按错键。
I stop, I go back, I begin again. 我停下来,倒回去,重新开始。
Tonight, something happened. 今晚,有些不一样的事情发生了。
In the middle, there are four bars where the melody goes up 在曲子中间有四个小节,旋律先是扬上去,
and comes gently back down. 然后又轻轻地落下来。
And tonight, for those four bars, I wasn't thinking. 今晚弹到那四个小节时,我脑子里什么都没想。
My hands just went. 双手就那么自然而然地动了。
It wasn't a list of keys anymore. 那不再是一串冰冷的琴键了。
It was music. 那是音乐。
Coming from me. 是从我手中流淌出来的音乐。
It lasted about six seconds. 那种感觉大概只持续了六秒钟。
Then I hit a wrong note and it fell apart. 然后我弹错了一个音,一切戛然而止。
But I heard it. 但我确实听到了。
Four bars out of thirty-two. 三十二个小节里,有那么四个小节。

I'd pay that price again tomorrow. 就算明天还要付出同样的代价,我也心甘情愿。
