參考譯文
大約10年前,我還是一名在校大學生,整個暑假我都在博物館打工。那時的我生活艱難。爸爸失業(yè),媽媽臥病在床。我不知道下個學期是否還能繼續(xù)上學。
一天,當我正在工作時,我看見一位老人推著一個坐輪椅的小女孩走了進來。當女孩逐漸靠近,我才發(fā)現(xiàn)她沒有胳膊也沒有腿。她穿著一身小巧的白色連衣裙,還戴著一頂帽子。
當這位老人推著輪椅朝我走過來時,我正忙于自己的工作。我轉(zhuǎn)過頭朝著女孩眨了下眼。當我從她爺爺手里拿過錢時,我回頭看了一下,她朝我綻放出我見過的最甜蜜、最燦爛的微笑。
突然,她的生理缺陷似乎不見了,我看到的只有這位美麗的姑娘,她的微笑幾乎使我對生命的全部意義有了更好的理解。她把我這樣一個貧窮、痛苦的大學生帶進了她那充滿微笑、愛心和溫暖的世界。
現(xiàn)在,我成了一個成功的商人,每當我心情郁悶,滿腦子全是生活的苦惱時,我都會想起那個小女孩和她教給我的關(guān)于生活的難忘一課。
