推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 1.69W 次

It is every kid's worst nightmare and six-year-old Jaden Hayes has lived it -- twice. First he lost his dad when he was four and then last month his mom died unexpectedly in her sleep.

這是每個孩子最恐怖的噩夢,而六歲的傑登·海耶斯卻親身經歷了兩次。第一次是在他四歲的時候,他失去了自己的爸爸,隨後,他的媽媽於上個月在睡夢中猝死。

"I tried and I tried and I tried to get her awake -- I couldn't," said Jaden.

傑登說道:“我再三嘗試讓她醒過來,但是沒有用。”

Jaden is understandably heartbroken.

傑登的傷心可想而知。

But there's another side to his grief. A side he first made public a few weeks ago when he told his aunt, and now guardian, Barbara DiCola, that he was sick and tired of seeing everyone sad all the time. And he had a plan to fix it.

但是他將悲痛開始向好的方向轉變。他再也不想看到每個人總是一臉惆悵了,他把這個想法先告訴了他的姨媽(也是他現在的監護人)芭芭拉·迪克拉。他已經有了改變這種情況的計劃。

"And that was the beginning of it," said Barbara. "That's where the adventure began."

“這是一個開頭,”芭芭拉說道。“這是此次冒險的開始。”

Jaden asked his aunt Barbara to buy a bunch of little toys and bring him to downtown Savannah, Georgia near where he lives, so he could give them away.

傑登要求他的姑姑芭芭拉給他買一些小玩具,並且將他帶到他居住地附近的市中心喬治亞州薩凡納,這樣他就可以把玩具發放出去。

"I'm trying to make people smile," said Jaden.

“我正在努力讓每個人微笑,”喬登說道。

Jaden targets people who aren't already smiling and then turns their day around. He's gone out on four different occasions now and he is always successful. Even if sometimes he doesn't get exactly the reaction he was hoping for.

喬登以沒有笑的人爲目標,隨後改變他們的這一天。他現在已經去了四個不同的場合,並且都是大功告成。即便有時他沒有得到他想要的反應。

It is just so overwhelming to some people that a six-year-old orphan would give away a toy -- expecting nothing in return -- except a smile.

這對於一些人而言簡直是難以拒絕的,一個六歲的孤兒不求回報地分發他的玩具,只是想要個微笑。

"I'm counting on it to be 33,000," said Jaden. When asked if he thinks he can make that goal, he answered: "I think I can."

“我的目標是33000人,”喬登說道。當被問及他是否能夠完成這個目標時,他說道:“我認爲我可以。”
