"What?" Mom asked.
“什么?”母亲问 。
"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.
“我们在雨里跑吧,”她重复 。
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit." Mom replied.
“不,亲爱的,我们等雨小一点再走 。”母亲回答说 。
This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain."
过了一会小女孩又说:“妈妈,我们跑出去吧 。”
"We'll get soaked if we do." Mom said.
“这样的话我们会湿透的 。”母亲说 。
"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm."
“不会的,妈妈 。你今天早上不是这样说的 。”小女孩一边说一边拉着母亲的手 。
"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
“今天早上?我什么时候说过我们淋雨不会湿啊?”
"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!"
“你不记得了吗?你和爸爸谈他的癌症时,你不是说‘如果上帝让我们闯过这一关,那我们就没有什么过不去 。’”
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
人群一片寂静 。我发誓,除了雨声,你什么都听不到 。我们都静静地站着 。接下来的几分钟没有一个人走动 。母亲停了一下,想着应该说些什么 。
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just needed washing." Mom said. Then off they ran.
有人也许会对此一笑了之,或者责备这孩子的不懂事,有人甚至不把她的话放在心上 。但这却是一个小孩子一生中需要被肯定的时候 。若受到鼓舞,此时孩子单纯的信任就会发展成为坚定的信念 。“亲爱的,你说得对,我们跑过去吧 。如果淋湿了,那也许是因为我们的确需要冲洗一下了 。”母亲说 。然后她们就冲出去了 。
We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day!
我们站在那里,笑着看她们飞快地跑过停着的汽车 。她们把购物袋高举过头想挡挡雨,但还是湿透了 。好几个人像孩子般尖叫着,大笑着,也跟着冲了出去,奔向自己的车子 。当然,我也这样做了,跑了出去,淋湿了 。我也需要接受洗礼 。环境或其他人可以夺去你的物质财富,抢走你的金钱,带走你的健康,但没有人可以带走你珍贵的回忆 。因此,记得要抓紧时间,抓住机会每天都给自己留下一些回忆吧
To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.
世间万物皆有自己的季节,做任何事情也有一个恰当的时机 。希望你有机会在雨中狂奔一回 。
2 Love is just a thread
2 爱如丝线
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.
有时候,我真的怀疑父母之间是否有真爱 。他们天天忙于赚钱,为我和弟弟支付学费 。他们从未像我在书中读到,或在电视中看到的那样互诉衷肠 。他们认为”我爱你”太奢侈,很难说出口 。更不用说在情人节送花这样的事了 。我父亲的脾气非常坏 。经过一天的劳累之后,他经常会发脾气 。
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
