神童放弃拉比之路：can't run from who we are

We can't run from who we are.

我们逃不开自己是谁。 run from 把“本性”写成追在身后的东西，短句像结论，也像认命。

I knew I could never be a rabbi.

我知道自己永远当不了拉比。 could never 不是“不想”，而是认清极限；把家族期待和个人真相放进一句。

My father never spoke to me again.

父亲从此再没和我说过话。 never...again 两个时间词把决裂拉成一辈子，句子却平得像在报事实。

My parents were destroyed, devastated by my decision.

父母被我的决定击垮了，彻底垮了。 destroyed 与 devastated 连着砸下，把抽象决定写成对父母的实体打击，冷静却重。

If you had to do it all over again, would you make the same choices?

如果让你从头再来一次，你还会做同样的选择吗？ 虚拟条件加 would，把一生的后悔变成一道平静的假设题。
