I returned to my room trembling at what lay ahead. I spent hours of torture during the next few days going over the words of the songs I would sing. Then came the final trial; when I stood in the wings of the tiny auditorium, waiting to go on. For an instant, as panic mounted in me, I was tempted to turn and run. But the doctor's words echoed in my ear: Don't be afraid to be afraid. And then suddenly the amateur orchestra was playing my cue, and I moved onstage and began to sing.

我走在回房的路上，步履蹒跚。剩下来的几天倍受艰熬，反复默念着过几天就要表演的歌曲歌词。“审判日”终于来临了，我站到了不大的演唱台后台的一侧。瞬间，恐慌遍及全身，我想转身逃走。但是博士的话回荡在我的耳边回荡：害怕没有关系。突然业余演奏队弹奏起了我要演唱的歌曲曲调，我走上舞台，开始了表演。
