我去爱荷华州的达文波特,到当地电台求职。
那里的电台节目总监,苏格兰人彼得?麦克阿瑟告诉我,播音员已有合适的人选。
当我走出他的办公室时,挫折感油然而生。
我大声说道:“如果在电台都找不到工作,又怎么能当体育节目的播音员呢?”
等电梯时,麦克阿瑟的声音传入我的耳畔:“你说什么体育呢?你懂橄榄球吗?”
然后,他让我站在话筒前,想象一场比赛,并为其解说。
去年秋天,我们的球队赢得了一场比赛——在最后20秒的时间里以65码的距离获胜,我用15分钟将那场精彩的比赛解说下来。
彼得对我说,我可以解说周六的一场比赛。
回家途中,母亲的话又在我的耳边响起:“坚持下去,一切都会好的。
不经历风雨,怎能见彩虹?”
我常想,当年,如果我能到蒙哥马利?沃德那里工作,我的人生又会驶向何方?
