Magic
魔法
When I was younger I was entranced with stories of magic. I devoured books where wizards and warriors battled the powers of darkness in strange worlds. I rejoiced when they triumphed bringing peace and happiness to their lands. I guess like most of the readers of these stories I secretly wished for magical powers for myself. I wanted to be able to magically make my pain disappear, to make my problems go away, and to have power over this world that so often has power over us.
在我年轻的时候,我就对魔法故事深深着迷。我如饥似渴地阅读有关法师和战士在奇异的世界里与黑势力战斗的书。每当他们取得胜利并为他们生活的这片土地带来了和平和幸福时,我就倍感雀跃。我想,就像看这些故事的大多数读者一样,我也暗暗希望自己能拥有魔法:希望它能奇迹般地让我的痛苦消失,让困扰我的问题得到解决,并能让我掌握这个世界而不用屈从于它。
As I got older, however, I realized that there was no such thing as magic and the harsh reality of life set in. I struggled through a long period of poverty. I had daily pain from a back injury that never healed right. I felt sadness and sorrow when both of my sons were diagnosed with Autism. I still sometimes daydreamed of magic but in time even that faded away.
然而,当我逐渐长大,我开始意识到,根本就不存在魔法,生活的残酷现实开始袭来。我曾在一段漫长又贫苦的岁月中挣扎。我每天都会因为后背上的伤口而疼痛,这个伤口至今都未痊愈。当我的两个儿子都被诊断为自闭症时,伤感与悲痛从心底涌了出来。我有时还幻想我能拥有魔法,但这种想法很快也就消失了。
