為什麼這麼難 Why is it so difficult?

Vivian 沒有進入決賽，唉！真是不容易啊！
回到旅館後看到電視上正在轉播ISU世界花式溜冰賽，我順口說了一句：「這是另一種殘酷的比賽！」Vivian馬上回了一句：「其實所有的表演藝術都是如此。」真的！我們看到了金牌得主Mao Asada在其中一項比賽一開始時就摔了一個大跤，但是她勇敢地站起來，繼續高貴優美地完成了她的程序。雖然她因此被扣分，但她仍然得了最高分，成了最新的金牌得主。播報員說了一句話：「最困難的就是如何在跌倒之後，保持冷靜，繼續集中精神，跳完全程。」這句話適用於每一個人。Vivian由於被西北區室内樂協會選為2008-2009的青年音樂家會員，在接下來的一年她將會需要在鋼琴上花很多的時間和心血。所以，繼續努力吧！

Vivian was not selected to compete in the final. Why is it so difficult??
After we returned to our hotel, we watched the 2008 ISU World Figure Skating Championship playing on TV. I said "this is another kind of cruel competition." Vivian replied "actually all the performance arts are the same way!" That's true! We saw the gold medalist Mao Asada fell right in the beginning of one of competition routines, but she got up bravely and completed her routine gracefully. Even though she got marked 1 point off, she still received the highest score of all and became the new world champion. The reporter said " the most difficult thing is to stay focused and complete your routine after the fall." Indeed, it applies to everyone.
Because Vivian was selected the 2008-2009 Young Artist Fellow by Chamber Music Northwest, she will need to spend a lot of time and effort on piano in the following year. So, be courageous and move on!!

以下是一些今天拍的照片。Following are some more photos I took today.
