Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years.
Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my 21 was more manageable, I 22 ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs. 23 that was years ago and times have changed. 24 I live with my mother on a country farm.
Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to 25 my disability pension (殘疾撫卹金). 26 I needed to sleep in the afternoons. I was limited in my 27 . I decided that I would consider 28 to singing in restaurants.
My family are all musicians, so I was 29 when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of 30 to get started. And 31 you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can 32 use.
When I told the owner of the shop about my 33 , he gave me a long, thoughtful 34 . “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it ?” he said.“Come with me.”
He led me 35 the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand 36 on his treasure and said.” I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your 37 and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”
I 38 .Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose 39 that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.
His 40 still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.

儘管我熱愛我的生活，但它實際上並沒有太多的快樂，因為我病了28年。
音樂一直我熱衷的事情。在我20幾歲的時候，那時我的病情還能夠控制，我在小酒吧裡面自彈自唱一些鄉村音樂，享受愉快的十年時光。然而不幸的是，那已是幾十年前的事了，今非昔比，我現在和我媽媽住在一個鄉下的農場裡。
兩年前，我決定要賺一些餘錢補貼我微薄的殘疾撫卹金，由於我需要在下午時間睡覺，這樣剩下的選擇就很少，不得已，我只能選擇回到酒館唱歌。
我的家人都是音樂家，所以當我走進當地的光盤店鋪的時候，就被認出來了，我解釋說我想唱歌，但是我只能用錄音的音樂盤，因為我是買不起那些昂貴的迪斯科音樂盤，況且迪斯科通常10個裡常用的只有3到4首歌，所以沒什麼必要。
當我和店鋪的老闆說明我的想法後，老闆意味深長的看了我一眼，說“這對你意味著很多，是嗎？”他接著說“跟我來”。
他帶著我穿過擁擠的光盤店過道，來到堆著很多卡拉ok光盤的長凳面前，光盤店老闆用他那厚實的手掌撫摸著他的寶貝們，對我說“我這裡有800張，你聽過之後，選好歌曲，我給你錄音，那樣應該足夠用來開始了。”
我很感激他，差點哭了。我和他約好什麼時候聽歌，選好我能唱的歌來錄音。在他的幫助下，我回到了原來的狀態（指的應該是作者20多歲時的唱歌狀態）。
他的好心腸至今仍然溫暖著我的心。如果有機會的話，我會為別人多做一點善事。
