英文美文分享: The Dancer with One Shoe（单鞋舞者）

“Strength does not come from the body. It comes from the will.” – Unknown

“力量不来自身体，而源自意志。” — 佚名

At a regional ballet competition, all eyes were on the stage as Lian stepped forward—missing one shoe.

在一场地区芭蕾比赛中，所有目光都聚焦在舞台上——连少穿了一只舞鞋。

Minutes before her turn, the heel on her right shoe snapped.

就在上场前几分钟，她的右鞋跟断了。

There were no replacements, no time.

没有备用鞋，也没有时间。

A judge whispered, “We can delay.”

一位评委低声说：“我们可以等。”

Lian shook her head. “No. I’ll dance like this.”

连摇头：“不用，我就这样跳。”

Barefoot on one side, en pointe on the other, she began.

一只脚赤裸，一只脚立尖，她开始起舞。

The audience was silent at first. Then breathless.

观众起初安静，继而屏息。

She wasn’t perfect—but she was powerful.

她的表演并不完美，但却充满力量。

Afterward, the judges gave her a standing ovation.

演出结束后，评委起立鼓掌。

Not for technique—but for courage.

不是为技巧，而是为勇气。

Summary: “True strength is revealed when everything else falls apart.”

总结：“当一切崩塌时，真正的力量才显现。”
