    Many years later, she heard that the same ballet troupe was performing in her town again.

    This was his reply, "I tell this to every student." She angrily shot back, "You've ruined my life!一 Then she got a further shock, "

    团长回答道:u我对每个学生都这样说。¨她生气地反驳说:“可是你毁了我的一生!”团长的回话让她更震惊了:

    I remember your gift of roses and how the thorns had pricked your fingers but you carried on bravery.

    “我记得你送的玫瑰,刺戤到了你的手指,而你却勇敢地继续表演。

    If you only had treated bal}et like that and did not give up so easily; therefore, you still deserve my verdict! "

    如果你能以那种精神对待芭蕾舞,就不会轻易放弃了。因此,我的意见对你仍然受用。¨
