  人身上最重要的部位是什么呢?或許每個(gè)人都會(huì)有自己不同的答案:有的人選擇腦;有的人選擇眼;有的人選擇手。但是你為什么選擇這個(gè)答案呢?仔細(xì)思考一下,也許你能和下面這篇文章的作者一樣,獲得一個(gè)讓別人感到詫異的答案。

  My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.

  從前我母親經(jīng)常問我,身體最重要的部位是什么。許多年來,我一直以為自己所想的是正確答案。

  When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."

  當(dāng)我很小的時(shí)候,我認(rèn)為對(duì)人類而言,聲音很重要,因此回答:“媽咪,是耳朵。”

  She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."

  她說:“不對(duì),有許多人是聾人。但是你繼續(xù)想,不久我會(huì)再問你。”

  Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."

  當(dāng)她再度問我時(shí),已經(jīng)是好幾年后了。自從第一次回答之后,我就一直仔細(xì)的思考正確答案。所以這次我對(duì)她說:“媽咪,視覺對(duì)每個(gè)人都很重要,所以應(yīng)該是我們的眼睛。”

  She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."

  她看著我,對(duì)我說:“你學(xué)的很快,但還是不對(duì),因?yàn)橛性S多人是盲人。”

  Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child."

  往后的年日里她又問了我?guī)状?,但她總是回答?ldquo;不對(duì),可是孩子啊,你每年都有進(jìn)步喔。”

  Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"

  去年我祖父去世,每個(gè)人都很傷心,大家都哭了。輪到我們向爺爺做最后的告別時(shí),媽媽看著我,問我:“寶貝,你知道身體最重要的部位了嗎?”

  I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."

  她在這時(shí)候問我這個(gè)問題,令我嚇了一大跳。我一直以為這只是我和她之間的游戲。她看我一臉迷惑的樣子,對(duì)我說:“這問題很重要,它是你真正理解生活的標(biāo)志。”我看她眼睛里充盈著淚水,她說:“寶貝,最重要的部位是你的肩膀。”

  I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?"

  我問:“是因?yàn)樗苤文X袋嗎?”

  She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."

  她回答說:“不,是因?yàn)樽屛覀兊呐笥选⑽覀兯鶒鄣娜丝奁臅r(shí)候,它可以給予依靠。寶貝,每個(gè)人在一生中都會(huì)有需要一個(gè)可以靠著哭泣的肩膀的時(shí)候。我只是希望當(dāng)你需要時(shí),會(huì)有足夠的愛人和朋友,給你一個(gè)可倚靠哭泣的肩膀。”

  Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

  從那時(shí)起,我知道身體最重要的部位不是利己的部位,而是對(duì)別人的痛苦能感同身受的部位。
