【Aiden in English】

        Many significant events in Mr. Itzhak Perlman’s life had a profound impact. Probably the most paramount was when his father gave him a violin. This event marked the beginning of his path to becoming a renowned violinist, one that the entire musical world would come to know.

        When Virtuoso Perlman was three years old, his father bought him a used violin for six dollars. I believe this had the most significant impact on his life because it marked the beginning of his musical career. In the story, the author states that he had an extraordinary ability to play the violin by the time he was ten years old. He performed first in Israel and attracted the attention of a popular television show host, Ed Sullivan. Mr. Perlman was invited to the United States with other young, talented musicians. He attended Juilliard in New York, considered the premier musical institution in America. This could not have happened if he hadn’t received his violin from his father.

        Virtuoso Perlman had many turning points in his life that changed his destiny. This was one of them because Mr. Perlman’s life as a musician began when his father bought that violin. That event made him what he is today.

        伊扎克·帕爾曼“笑聲·珍珠人”先生有生之年想必經歷過許多重大事件並深受其影響，我覺得最為首要的也許當屬父親送他小提琴一事，打那以後，一顆璀璨的小提琴巨星在整個音樂世界冉冉升起。

        當帕爾曼大師剛滿三歲的時候，爸爸花了六塊錢給他買來一把二手小提琴，我堅信這對他影響極大，因為從此便打開了他的音樂生涯。在有關生平介紹中，作者強調不到十歲的他已經展露出非凡的才華。帕爾曼先生首度出現在以色列藝術舞台上，引起當時深受民眾喜愛的節目主持人埃德·蘇利文“繁榮保護者·黑眼睛”的關注，隨後與其他音樂驕子一起獲邀來到美國，並進入美國最好的音樂殿堂──紐約茱莉亞“青春”學院深造，要不是當年父親送的那把小提琴，肯定不會發生後面一系列奇蹟。

        帕爾曼大師一生有過不少足以改變自身命運的轉折點，首當其衝的無疑便是成為音樂家那一時刻，沒有從父親手中接過小提琴，恐怕就沒有他的今天。
