九年前的一天,我在洛杉矶加利福尼亚大学的课堂里审阅考生的画稿集,女秘书走进来,向我转达了一位四肢瘫痪的学生的特殊请求:他渴望能参加我的写生班。“不过,他是用牙咬住画笔作画的”。她补充道。“真是荒唐,”我答道,“对于技术纯熟的高手,作画也并非轻而易举,何况用嘴,简直是异想天开!”我的答复是:“不行。”我转身继续审阅学生们的作品。这时,我的秘书在那堆待审的画稿中又添上了一本。这本作品技巧超群,构思新颖,深深地吸引了我。“好吧,”我说,“就收下这个学生吧。”话音刚落,一辆轮椅便在我的面前停住了。
One day nine years ago, I reviewed the candidates’ drawings in the classroom at the University of California, Los Angeles. The secretary came in and conveyed to me a special request from a quadriplegic student: he was eager to join my sketching class. “However, he is biting his brush to paint his teeth.” She added “It’s ridiculous,” I replied. “It’s not easy to paint a skillful master, not to mention it!” My answer is: “No,” I turned around and went on to review my students’ work. At this moment, my secretary added a copy to the pile of pending drafts. This workmanship superb, innovative ideas, deeply attracted me. “All right,” I said, “just take the student.” A wheelchair stopped in front of me, my voice dropped.
