一个女孩的微笑

文章及译文

About ten years ago when I was a student in college, life was hard for me then. Both my parents had lost their jobs, so I worked at my University's Museum in my spare time. One day while working in the gift shop, I saw an old couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.

大约十年前,我还在大学(college)里学习,那时的生活很艰难。我的父母都失业了,因此,我在业余时间去大学博物馆工作,有一天,当我正在礼品店工作时(while working in the gift shop),我看到一对老年夫妇推着一个坐在轮椅(wheelchair)里的小女孩进来了

As I looked closer at this girl, I found that she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and torso(躯干). She was wearing a pretty white dress, also a little red cap.

当我仔细看这女孩时,我发现她没有胳膊和腿,只有(head)、颈和躯干。她穿着漂亮的(pretty)白色衣服(dress),还戴着一顶小红(cap)。

When they came closer to me, I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼). As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the prettiest, largest smile I had ever seen.

当他们走近我时,我转向这个女孩并对她眨了眨眼。我从她的祖父(grandparents)手里接过钱时,我又回头看看那个女孩,她正在给我一个最漂亮、最灿烂的微笑。

All of a sudden her handicap(残疾) was gone and all I saw was this perfect girl. I was deeply moved by her smile, and almost immediately she gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world: a world of smiles, love and warmth.

突然间她的残疾消失了,我所看到的是一个完美的(perfect)女孩。她的笑容深深地(deeply)打动了我,几乎立刻让我对人生有了全新的(completely new)感觉(sense)。她把我从一个贫穷不幸大学生带入了她的世界:一个微笑、爱和温暖的世界。

That was ten years ago. I'm a successful business person now and whenever I am in low spirits and think about the troubles of the world, I'll think about that little girl and the lesson about life that she taught me, so I will never lose courage.

那是十年前的事了。现在我已是一名成功的商人。无论何时(whenever)我情绪低落(spirits)、因烦恼而忧虑时,我就会想起那个小女孩和她教给我的关于生活的教训,因此,我从未丧失勇气(courage)。
