英語故事:小女孩的靈丹妙藥
【英文原文】
“What are you.busy with yourself, Mother?” the girl of less than six years old asked her mother curiously.
“Making dinner for the neighbor’s aunt.”
“Why?”
“Because the other day the aunt lost her dear daughter and is so sad now. We must take good care of her these days.”
“Why need our care?’
“Because from then on the aunt cannot do what they liked to along with her daughter. She is very pitiful. In her distress, making dinners and doing chores are also becoming so difficult. My dear, can you help Mother hit an idea to help the aunt in other ways?”
At her mother’s proposal, the girl thought for a long while. All of a sudden, she went to the neighbor and knocked at the door.
The neighbor with a look of haggardness and tiredness opened the door.
“What can I do for you?” asked the neighbor.
“I heard my mother say you’re very distressed for losing your daughter…” The girl timidly handed the band-aid tightly held in her hand to the neighbor.
The neighbor suddenly choked with sobs, her tears gushing from her eyes. She hugged the girl and said, “Thank you. This band-aid will cure my wound.”
【中文譯文】
“媽媽，您在忙什麼呢？”還不到6歲的女孩，好奇的問媽媽。
“給鄰居家的阿姨做飯。”
“爲什麼？”
“前幾天阿姨失去了心愛的女兒，現在很傷心。我們這幾天要好好照顧她。”
“爲什麼需要我們照顧呢？”
“阿姨以後不能和她女兒一起做他們喜歡做的事了，很可憐。人在極度悲傷時，做飯和料理家務也會變得很難。女兒，你能不能也幫媽媽想想其他能幫助阿姨做的事呢？”
女孩聽到媽媽的提議，認真的思考了很久，突然走到鄰居家敲響了門。
一臉憔悴和疲憊的鄰居開了門。
“有什麼事嗎？”鄰居問道。
“聽媽媽說，您因爲失去了女兒，非常痛苦……”女孩羞澀的把攥在手裏的創可貼遞給了鄰居。
“阿姨，把這個貼在胸口吧，那樣你的心就不會痛了。”
鄰居突然哽咽起來，淚水奪眶而出。她抱住女孩說：“謝謝，這個創可貼會治好我的傷口的。”
