《身體最重要的部位》美文欣賞
My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
從前我母親經(jīng)常問我，身體最重要的部位是什么。許多年來，我一直以為自己所想的是正確答案。
When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."
當(dāng)我很小的時(shí)候，我認(rèn)為對(duì)人類而言，聲音很重要，因此回答：“媽咪，是耳朵。”
She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
她說：“不對(duì)，有許多人是聾人。但是你繼續(xù)想，不久我會(huì)再問你。”
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."
當(dāng)她再度問我時(shí)，已經(jīng)是好幾年后了。自從第一次回答之后，我就一直仔細(xì)的思考正確答案。所以這次我對(duì)她說：“媽咪，視覺對(duì)每個(gè)人都很重要，所以應(yīng)該是我們的眼睛。”
She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."
她看著我，對(duì)我說：“你學(xué)的很快，但還是不對(duì)，因?yàn)橛性S多人是盲人。”
Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child."
往后的年日里她又問了我?guī)状危偸腔卮穑骸安粚?duì)，可是孩子啊，你每年都有進(jìn)步喔。”
Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
去年我祖父去世，每個(gè)人都很傷心，大家都哭了。輪到我們向爺爺做最后的告別時(shí)，媽媽看著我，問我：“寶貝，你知道身體最重要的部位了嗎？”
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."
她在這時(shí)候問我這個(gè)問題，令我嚇了一大跳。我一直以為這只是我和她之間的游戲。她看我一臉迷惑的樣子，對(duì)我說：“這問題很重要，它是你真正理解生活的標(biāo)志。”我看她眼睛里充盈著淚水，她說：“寶貝，最重要的部位是你的肩膀。”
I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?"
我問：“是因?yàn)樗苤文X袋嗎？”
She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."
她回答說：“不，是因?yàn)樽屛覀兊呐笥选⑽覀兯鶒鄣娜丝奁臅r(shí)候，它可以給予依靠。寶貝，每個(gè)人在一生中都會(huì)有需要一個(gè)可以靠著哭泣的肩膀的.時(shí)候。我只是希望當(dāng)你需要時(shí)，會(huì)有足夠的愛人和朋友，給你一個(gè)可倚靠哭泣的肩膀。”
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.
從那時(shí)起，我知道身體最重要的部位不是利己的部位，而是對(duì)別人的痛苦能感同身受的部位。
