美文——In the Wink of an Eye(眨眼之間)附帶音頻

About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college, I was working as an intern at my university's Museum of Natural History.

大約十年前,當我在大學讀本科時,我在我大學的自然歷史博物館實習

One day while working at te cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in wihth a little girl in a wheelchair.

有一天,在禮品店的收銀臺工作時,我看到一對老年夫婦帶著一個坐在輪椅上的小女孩進來


As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of perched on her chair.

當我靠近這個女孩時,我發現她有點坐在椅子上


I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and torso.

然後我意識到她沒有胳膊或腿,只有頭,脖子和軀幹


She was wearing a little white dress with red polka dots.

她穿著一條白色的小禮服,上面有紅色的圓點


As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register.

當這對夫婦把她帶到我身邊時,我低頭看著登記冊


I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink.

我朝那個女孩轉過頭,對她眨了眨眼


As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, largest smile I have ever seen.

當我從她的祖父母那裡拿走錢時,我回頭看著那個女孩,那個女孩給了我我所見過的最可愛,最大的微笑

All of a sudden her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about.

突然她的障礙消失了,我所看到的只是這個美麗的女孩,她的微笑融化了我,幾乎立刻使我對生活的意義有了全新的認識


She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world: a world of smiles, love and warmth.

她從一個貧窮,不幸的大學生那裡帶走了我,將我帶入了她的世界:一個充滿微笑,愛與溫暖的世界


That was ten years ago.

每當我坐下來思考世界的煩惱時,我就會想起那個小女孩和她教給我的關於生命的非凡教訓
