Passage 47 A Girl's Smile
一个女孩的微笑
About ten years ago when I was a student in college, life was hard for me then.
大约十年前，我还在大学里学习，那时的生活很艰难。
Both my parents had lost their jobs, so I worked at my University's Museum in my spare time.
我的父母都失业了，因此，我在业余时间去大学博物馆工作。
One day while working in the gift shop, I saw an old couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.
有一天，当我正在礼品店工作时，我看到一对老年夫妇推着一个坐在轮椅里的小女孩进来了。
As I looked closer at this girl, I found that she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and torso.
当我仔细看这女孩时，我发现她没有胳膊和腿，只有头、颈和躯干。
She was wearing a pretty white dress, also a little red cap.
她穿着漂亮的白色衣服，还戴着一顶小红帽。
When they came closer to me, I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink.
当他们走近我时，我转向这个女孩并对她眨了眨眼。
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.
我从她的祖父母手里接过钱时，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 handicapwas gone and all I saw was this perfect girl.
突然间她的残疾消失了，我所看到的是一个完美的女孩。
I was deeply moved by her smile, and almost immediately she gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about.
她的笑容深深地打动了我，几乎立刻让我对人生有了全新的感觉。
She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world: a world of smiles, love and warmth. That was ten years ago.
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。那是十年前的事了。
I'm a successful business person now and whenever I am in low spirits and think about the troubles of the world,
现在我已是一名成功的商人。无论何时我情绪低落、因烦恼而忧虑时，
I'll think about that little girl and the lesson about life that she taught me, so I will never lose courage.
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。
