　　9 爱的礼物

　　Can I see my baby? the happy new mother asked.

　　“我可以看看我的宝宝吗?”初为人母的她开心地问道。

　　When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.

　　当裹着的婴儿放到她臂弯里，她掀开裹着婴儿的布，在看到他的小脸时，她不禁倒吸了一口气。医生快速地转过身，透过医院的高层窗户向外看去。婴儿生下来就没有耳朵。

　　Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred. When he rushed home from school one day and flung himself into his mother's arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks.

　　时间证明婴儿的听力毫无问题，只是有损他的相貌。一天，当他匆匆从学校跑回家，扑向母亲的怀抱时，她叹了口气，意识到他的生活注定会受到一连串的打击。

　　He blurted out the tragedy. "A boy, a big boy...called me a freak."

　　他脱口诉说遭到的不幸：“一个男孩，一个大个子男孩……他喊我怪胎。”

　　He grew up, handsome except for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music.

　　他长大了，虽然不幸但还是长得挺帅。颇受同学的欢迎，要不是有缺陷，他很可能当了班长。他对文学和音乐很有天赋和潜质。

　　But you might mingle with other young people, his mother reproved him, but felt a kindness in her heart.

　　“但你可能会和其他年轻人一样。”母亲责备地说，但从心底里觉得很欣慰。

　　The boy's father had a session with the family physician... "Could nothing be done?"

　　男孩的父亲与家庭医生商量……“难道真无法补救吗?”

　　I believe I could graft on a pair of outer ears, if they could be procured, the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man.

　　“我认为可以移植一双外耳，如果能够找到的话。”医生做了决定，于是他们开始寻求一个愿意为这个年轻人做出牺牲的人。

　　Two years went by.Then, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret." said the father.

　　两年过去了。对儿子说，“孩子，你要住院了。我和你妈找到愿意为你捐献耳朵的人了。但要求保密。”

　　The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged. His talents blossomed into genius, and school and college became a series of triumphs.

　　手术获得了巨大成功，一个新人诞生了。他的潜力发展成一个天才，在中学和大学都取得了一连串的成功。

　　Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. "but I must know," he asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him."

　　后来他结婚了，进入外交行业工作。一天，他问父亲：“是谁给我的耳朵?谁给了我那么多?我做多少都无法报答他/她。”

　　I do not believe you could, said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to know...not yet."

　　“我也这样认为，”父亲说，“但是协议上说你不能知道……还不到时候。”

　　The years kept their profound secret, but the day did come. One of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother's casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal taht the mother had no outer ears.

　　他们的秘密遵守了很多年，但这天终于来了，这也是儿子度过的最黑暗的日子。他和父亲站在母亲的棺材前，慢慢地，轻柔地，父亲向前伸出一只手，掀开母亲浓密的、红褐色的头发：母亲竟然没有耳朵!

　　Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut, he whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"

　　“你母亲说过她很高兴，她从不理发，”父亲轻柔地低声说，“但没人觉得母亲没以前美丽，是吧?”

　　英语散文二

　　A father and a son

　　父子俩

　　Passing through the Atlanta airport one morning, I caught one of those trains that take travelers from the main terminal to their boarding gates. Free, sterile and impersonal, the trains run back and forth all day long. Not many people consider them fun, but on this Saturday I heard laughter.

　　一天早晨去亚特兰大机场，我看见一辆列车载载着旅客从航空集散站抵达登记处。这类免费列车每天单调、无味地往返其间，没人觉得有趣。但这个周六我却听到了笑声。

　　At the front of the first car – looking out the window at the track that lay ahead – were a man and his son.

　　在头节车厢的最前面，坐着一个男人和他的儿子。他们正透过窗户观赏着一直往前延伸的铁道。

　　They had just stopped to let off passengers, and the doors wee closing again. “Here we go! Hold on to me tight!” the father said. The boy, about five years old, made sounds of sheer delight.

　　他们停下来等候旅客下车，之后，车门关上了。“走吧。拉紧我!”父亲说。儿子大约5岁吧，一路喜不自禁。

　　I know we’re supposed to avoid making racial distinctions these days, so I hope no one will mind if I mention that most people on the train were white, dressed for business trips or vacations – and that the father and son were black, dressed in clothes that were just about as inexpensive as you can buy.

　　车上坐的多半是衣冠楚楚，或公差或度假的白人，只有这对黑人父子穿着朴素简单。我知道如今我们不该种族歧视，我希望我这样描述没人介意。

　　“Look out there!” the father said to his son. “See that pilot? I bet he’s walking to his plane.” The son craned his neck to look.

　　“快看!”父亲对儿子说：“看见那位飞行员了吗?我敢肯定是去开飞机的。”儿子伸长脖子看。

　　As I got off, I remembered some thing I’d wanted to buy in the terminal. I was early for my flight, so I decided to go back.

　　下了车后我突然想起还得在航空集散站买点东西。离起飞时间还早，于是我决定再乘车回去。

　　I did – and just as I was about to reboard the train for my gate, I saw that the man and his son had returned too. I realized then that they hadn’t been heading for a flight, but had just been riding the shuttle.

　　正准备上车的时候，我看到那对父子也来了。我意识到他们不是来乘飞机的，而是特意来坐区间列车的。

　　"You want to go home now? " The father asked.

　　爸爸问：“你想现在回家吗?”

　　“I want to ride some more!”

　　“我还想再坐一会儿!”

　　“More?” the father said, mock-exasperated but clearly pleased. “You’re not tired?”

　　“再坐一会儿!”父亲嗔怪模仿着儿子的语调，“你还不累?”

　　“This is fun!” his son said.

　　“真好玩!”儿子说。

　　“All right,” the father replied, and when a door opened we all got on.

　　“好吧，”父亲说。车门开了，我们都上了车。

　　There are parents who can afford to send their children to Europe or Disneyland, and the children turn out rotten. There are parents who live in million-dollar houses and give their children cars and swimming pools, yet something goes wrong.

　　我们很多父母有能力送孩子去欧洲，去狄斯尼乐园，可孩子还是堕落了。很多父母住豪华别墅，孩子有车有游泳池，可孩子还是学坏了。

　　“Where are all these people going, Daddy?” the son asked.

　　“爸爸，这些人去哪?”儿子问。

　　“All over the world,” came the reply. The other people in the air port wee leaving for distant destinations or arriving at the ends of their journeys. The father and son, though, were just riding this shuttle together, making it exciting, sharing each other’s company.

　　“世界各地。”父亲回答。机场来来往往的人流或准备远行，或刚刚归来。这对父子却在乘坐区间列车，享受着父子间的亲情与陪伴。

　　Here was a father who cared about spending the day with his son and who had come up with this plan on a Saturday morning.

　　而这里。这位父亲却很在意花上一天陪伴儿子，并在这样一个星期六的早上，提出这个计划。

　　Parents who care enough to spend time, and to pay attention and to try their best. It doesn’t cost a cent, yet it is the most valuable thing in the world.

　　父母愿意花时间，愿意关注，愿意尽心尽职。这不要花一分钱，可这却是世间无价之宝。

　　The train picked up speed, and the father pointed something out, and the boy laughed again.

　　火车加速了。父亲指着窗外说着什么，儿子直乐.
