[00:10]You sure are lucky... [00:13]It was a hot, muggy August afternoon, and I had every reason to feel sorry for myself. [00:19]A comedy of hassles began with the normal airport security gauntlet, followed by a random drug test, [00:26]and a missed flight home due to a number of mechanical, weather and late inbound flight problems. [00:32]Now my flight home was full and late. [00:36]During the usual pandemonium at the gate, I noticed a 5-year-old boy standing by his mother and watching me. [00:43]He looked at me, then my bag, then back at me. [00:47]Cautiously, he left his mother’s side and slowly began to walk toward me, glancing between my bag, his mother and me. [00:57]“Great,” I thought, “now I have to babysit a 5-year-old. My day is now complete.” [01:04]As he came closer, I was both relieved and alarmed that it wasn’t me he was after. [01:09]It was my hat! [01:12]I started to tell him not to bother my things, but something made me stop and watch. [01:17]He stopped in front of my bag, looking at my hat, then up at me. [01:22]With wide eyes, he gently touched the bill of my hat, running his index finger slowly along the edge, carefully touching the emblem. [01:31]Again, he looked up at me, now smiling, but saying nothing. [01:35]I asked him if he would like to wear my captain hat. [01:39]He excitedly nodded his head, still smiling. [01:42]I placed my hat on his head, but it fell down around his ears. [01:46]He didn’t seem to mind and held it up in the proper position with both hands. [01:51]He ran to show his mother, then back to me still smiling from ear to ear. [01:57]With much reverence and ceremony, he slowly removed my hat with both hands and presented it to me as though it were the crown jewels. [02:06]I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. [02:10]This, too, he held with both hands in awe. [02:14]After this exchange, he still hadn’t spoken, although I knew he was excited. [02:19]I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my self-pity fest. [02:25]Still holding the card carefully with both hands, he looked up at me and said, “Mister, you sure are lucky.” [02:32]“Yes,” I said, “I sure am.” [02:36]I contemplated the wisdom of a 5-year-old, as I got the last seat on that flight home.

It was a hot,muggy August afternoon,and I had every reason to feel sorry for myself.A comedy of hassles began with the normal airport security gauntlet,followed by a random drug test,and a missed flight home due to a number of mechanical,weather and late inbound flight problems.Now my flight home was full and late.

During the usual pandemonium at the gate,I noticed a 5-year-old boy standing by his mother and watching me.He looked at me,then my bag,then back at me.

Cautiously,he left his mother's side and slowly began to walk toward me,glancing between my bag,his mother,and me.

"Great,"I thought,"now I have to baby-sit a 5-year-old.My day is now completed."

As he came closer,I was both relieved and alarmed that it wasn't me he was after.It was my hat!

I started to tell him not to bother my things,but something made me stop and watch.He stopped in front of my bag,looking at my hat,then up at me.

With wide eyes,he gently touched the bill of my hat,running his index finger slowly along the edge,carefully touching the emblem.

Again,he looked up at me,now smiling,but saying nothing.I asked him if he would like to wear my captain hat.

He excitedly nodded his head,still smiling.I placed my hat on his head,but it fell down around his ears.He didn't seem to mind and held it up in the proper position with both hands.He ran to show his mother,then bach to me still smiling from ear to ear.

With much reverence and ceremony,he slowly removed my hat with both hands and presented it to me as though it were the crown jewels.

I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card.This,too,he held with both hands in awe.

After this exchange,he still hadn't spoken,although I knew he was excited.I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my selfpity fest.

Still holding the card carefully with both hands,he looked up at me and said,"Mister,you sure are lucky."

"Yes,"I said,"I sure am."

I contemplated the wisdom of a 5-year-old,as I got the last seat on that flight home.

　　It was a muggy[悶熱的] afternoon, and I had every reason to feel sorry for myself. A comedy of hassles[麻煩事] began with the normal airport security gauntlet[長手套], followed by a random[隨機(jī)的] drug test, and a missed flight due to a number of mechanical, weather and late inbound[入境的] flight problems. Now my flight home was full and late.
　　那是一個潮濕悶熱的下午，我完全有理由為自己掬一把同情之淚。一系列麻煩事從機(jī)場的常規(guī)安檢開始，接著是毒品抽檢，再加上機(jī)械故障、惡劣天氣和入港延遲等諸多問題令我錯過了班機(jī)?，F(xiàn)在我的回程航班不但晚點了，還人滿為患。

　　I noticed a five-year-old boy standing by his mother and watching me. Cautiously[小心地], he began to walk toward me.
　　我發(fā)現(xiàn)一個五歲小男孩站在他母親身邊看著我。他開始小心翼翼地向我走來。

　　“Great,” I thought. “I have to baby-sit a five-year-old. My day is now complete.”
　　“好極了，”我想。“我還得照看一個五歲小孩。這一天算是全完了。”

　　As he came closer, I was both relieved and alarmed that it wasn’t me he was after. With wide eyes, he gently touched the bill[帽舌] of my hat, carefully touching the emblem[徽記]. I asked him if he would like to wear my captain hat, and he excitedly nodded his head. With my hat on his head, he ran to show his mother, then back to me smiling from ear to ear.
　　等他來到身邊時，我先是松了口氣，接著有點不安，因為他并不是沖著我來的。他睜大了眼睛，輕輕地碰了碰我的帽舌，又小心地摸了摸上面的徽標(biāo)。我問他想不想戴一下我的船長帽，他興奮不已地點了點頭。他戴上我的帽子，跑去給他母親看，然后回到我面前，樂得合不攏嘴。

　　I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. He held it with both hands in awe. I was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my self-pity fest[節(jié)慶]. He looked up at me and said, “Mister, you sure are lucky.”
　　我戴上帽子，給了他一張飛機(jī)卡。他充滿敬畏地用雙手捧著它。令人高興的是，這件事把我的注意力從自怨自艾中暫時抽離了出來。他抬起頭來看著我說：“先生，您真幸運(yùn)。”

　　“Yes,” I said, “I sure am.”
　　“是的，”我說，“我確實很幸運(yùn)。”

　　I contemplated[深思] the wisdom of a five-year-old as I got the last seat on that flight home.
　　我坐在回程班機(jī)的最后一個座位上，一個五歲男孩的睿智讓我思緒萬千。
