美文欣賞：愿得一人心 白首不分離

猶記得多年前，那個(gè)讓人暖心的夜晚

After spending nearly every waking minute with Angel for eight straight days, I knew that I had to tell her just one thing. So late at night, just before she fell asleep, I whispered it in her ear. She smiled – the kind of smile that makes me smile back – and she said, “When I’m seventy-five and I think about my life and what it was like to be young, I hope that I can remember this very moment.

”整整8天除了睡著其余的時(shí)間我都陪著安吉爾，醞釀已久，我想我一定要告訴她一件事。于是這天夜里，就在她剛剛睡下，我便在她耳邊輕聲說起來，說完她就笑了，是那種希望得到我回應(yīng)的笑，接著說道：“真希望我老到75歲的時(shí)候，開始回憶，這一刻須臾會(huì)變成永恒。”

A few seconds later she closed her eyes and fell asleep. The room was peaceful – almost silent. All I could hear was the soft purr of her breathing. I stayed awake thinking about the time we’d spent together and all the choices in our lives that made this moment possible. And at some point, I realized that it didn’t matter what we’d done or where we’d gone. Nor did the future hold any significance.

很快她就閉上眼睛睡著了，整個(gè)房間祥和安靜，甚至有些寂靜。耳畔起伏著安吉爾輕柔的呼吸聲，我清醒的回憶我們共度的這些美好時(shí)光，是冥冥之中的選擇成就了我們在一起的時(shí)刻。我們做過什么，去過哪里都不重要，甚至未來也不重要。

All that mattered was the serenity of the moment.

眼下最重要的就是此刻的和諧安寧。

Just being with her and breathing with her.

只要能與她同呼吸共命運(yùn)，便別無所求。

The moral: We must not allow the clock, the calendar, and external pressures to rule our lives and blind us to the fact that each individual moment of our lives is a beautiful mystery and a miracle – especially those moments we spend in the presence of a loved one.

啟示：時(shí)間、日常事務(wù)、以及其他的外部壓力都不能左右和束縛我們的生活，因?yàn)槊總€(gè)人，尤其是與心愛之人一起度過的美好時(shí)光，才是我們生命中最讓人心馳神往，美妙動(dòng)人的追尋。
