编者按:

营养上的不足削弱了她肌肉的生长和发育。除此之外,在那个时代,对于任何一个男芭蕾舞演员来讲,她都长得太高了。

Hepburn’s Dream

My mother’s dream was always to be a prima ballerina.

No matter how hard she had trained her most important and formative years had passed and could not be recaptured. The war had been tough on her, and poor nutrition had impaired some of her muscular growth and development. Besides, she was too tall for any male dancer of the era. My mother simply couldn’t compete with the other dancers who had received proper training as well as proper sustenance during the war years. The war had stolen her dream. She remembered going back to her room that day and “just wanting to die.” The dream that had kept her hope alive all those years had just vanished.
