10 What a powerful line that is! It has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows? Perhaps that is the definition of life - not just for artists, but for all of us.

11 Here is a man who has prepared all his life to make music on a

violin with four strings, who, all of a sudden, in the middle of a concert, finds himself with only three strings; so he makes music with three strings, and the music he made that night with just three strings was more beautiful, more sacred, more memorable, than any that he had ever made before, when he had four strings.

译文：他是一个要把自己的一生奉献给用四根弦的小提琴演奏的人。突然有一天，在演奏中，他发现自己的琴只剩下三根弦，而那一晚他用仅剩的三根弦演奏出了比他以前用四根弦演奏地更美妙、更神圣、更难忘的音乐。

12 So, perhaps our task in this shaky, fast-changing, bewildering world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and

then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.所以，我们有时在这个动荡不安、变数不定、眼花缭乱的世界上的任务就如同演奏音乐。开始时译文：我们倾其所有而为之，然后在不可能时，用我们所拥有的一切去创造。
