I look back sometimes at the person I was before I rediscovered my old professor.I want to talk to that person. I want to tell him what to look out for, what mistakes to avoid. I want to tell him to be more open, to ignore the lure of advertised values, to pay attention when your loved ones are speaking,as if it were the last time you might hear them. Mostly I want to tell that person to get on an airplane and visit a gentle old man in West Newton, Massachusetts sooner rather than later, before that old man gets sick and loses his ability to dance. I know I cannot do this. None of us can undo what we’ve done, or relive a life already recorded. But if Professor Morris Schwartz taught me anything at ail, it was this: there is no such thing as “too late” in life. He was changing until the day he said good-bye.
有时,我会回想在我再次找到老教授之前的那个自己。我想和过去的自己谈一 谈。我想告诉他应该追寻什么,应该避免哪些错误。我想告诉他要更加宽容,要忽 视商业价值的诱惑,要注意倾听所爱之人的言语,就仿佛这是你最后一次听他们说 话一样。而我最想告诉他的是:乘飞机去看望住在马萨诸塞州西纽顿的那个温柔的 老人吧,宜早不宜迟,在那个老人生病之前,在他失去跳舞能力之前就去拜访他 吧!我知道我不能这样做了。没有人能让我们回到从前,把过去重新来过,把已经 逝去的生命重新唤醒。但是,如果莫里?斯瓦兹教授教给我了什么,那就是:生活 中永远没有“太迟”。直到他与世长辞的最后一刻他都没有停止改变。
