　　經典英語感人散文：說出心裏話

Most people need to hear those “three little words” — I love you. Once in a while, they hear them just in time.

I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice ward, where I worked as a volunteer. Her husband, Bill, stood nervously nearby as she was transferred from the gurney to the hospital bed. Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer, she was alert and cheerful. We got her settled in. I finished marking her name on all the hospital supplies she would be using, then asked if she needed anything.

“Oh, yes,” she said, “would you please show me how to use the TV? I enjoy the soaps so much and I don’t want to get behind on what’s happening.” Connie was a romantic. She loved soap operas, romance novels and movies with a good love story. As we became acquainted, she confided how frustrating it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her “a silly woman”.

“Oh, I know Bill loves me,” she said, “but he has never been one to say he loves me, or send cards to me.” She sighed and looked out the window at the trees in the courtyard. “I’d give anything if he’d say ‘I love you,’ but it’s just not in his nature.”

Bill visited Connie every day. In the beginning, he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps. Later, when she began sleeping more, he paced up and down the hallway outside her room. Soon, when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill.

He talked about having worked as a carpenter and how he liked to go fishing. He and Connie had no children, but they’d been enjoying retirement by traveling, until Connie got sick. Bill could not express his feelings about the fact that his wife was dying.

One day, over coffee in the cafeteria, I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives; how we love to get sentimental1 cards and love letters.

“Do you tell Connie you love her?” I asked (knowing his answer), and he looked at me as if I was crazy.

“I don’t have to,” he said. “She knows I do!”

“I’m sure she knows,” I said, reaching over and touching his hands rough, carpenter’s hands that were gripping the cup as if it were the only thing he had to hang onto “but she needs to hear it, Bill. She needs to hear what she has meant to you all these years. Please think about it.”

We walked back to Connie’s room. Bill disappeared inside, and I left to visit another patient. Later, I saw Bill sitting by the bed. He was holding Connie’s hand as she slept. The date was February 12.

Two days later I walked down the hospice ward at noon. There stood Bill, leaning up against the wall in the hallway, staring at the floor. I already knew from the head nurse that Connie had died at 11 A.M.

When Bill saw me, he allowed himself to come into my arms for a long time. His face was wet with tears and he was trembling. Finally, he leaned back against the wall and took a deep breath.

“I have to say something,” he said. “I have to say how good I feel about telling her.” He stopped to blow his nose. “I thought a lot about what you said, and this morning I told her how much I loved her and loved being married to her. You shoulda2 seen her smile!”

I went into the room to say my own good bye to Connie. There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine card from Bill. You know, the sentimental kind that says, “To my wonderful wife I love you.”

大多數人需要聽到那“三個小字”——我愛你。有時他們就會在最需要的時候聽到。

我在康妮住進收容所病房的那天見到了她。我在那兒當義工。把她從輪牀擡上病牀時，她的丈夫比爾焦慮不安地站在旁邊。雖然康妮處於和癌症搏鬥的晚期，但她仍然神智清醒，精神愉快。我們把她安頓好。我在醫院提供給她使用的所有用品上標上她的名字，然後問她是否需要什麼。

“啊，是的，”她說，“請告訴我怎麼用電視好嗎?我非常喜歡肥皂劇，想隨時跟上進展情況。”康妮是個浪漫的人。她酷愛肥皂劇、浪漫小說和講述美好愛情故事的電影。隨着我們越來越熟，她向我吐露說，跟一個經常叫她“傻女人”的男人生活了32年有多麼沮喪。

“唉，我知道比爾愛我，”她說道，“可是他從來不說他愛我，也不給我寄賀卡。”她嘆了口氣，朝窗外庭院裏的樹望去。“如果他說聲‘我愛你’，我願意付出一切，可這根本不是他的性格。”

比爾每天都來探望康妮。一開始，康妮看肥皂劇，他就坐在牀旁。後來，她睡的時候多了，比爾就在屋外走廊裏踱來踱去。不久，康妮不再看電視了，醒的時候也少了，我開始花更多的義工時間和比爾在一起。

他談到他一直是個木工，他多麼喜歡釣魚。他和康妮沒有孩子，但他們四處旅遊，享受着退休生活，直到康妮得病。對他妻子病危這一事實，比爾無法表達他的感受。

一天，在自助餐廳喝咖啡時，我設法和比爾談起女人這個話題，談到生活中我們多麼需要浪漫，多想收到充滿柔情蜜意的卡片和情書。

“你跟康妮說你愛她嗎?”我明知故問。他瞧着我，就好像我有神經病。

“我沒有必要說，”他說道。“她知道我愛她!”

“我肯定她知道，”我說。我伸出手，觸摸着他那雙木工粗糙的手。這雙手緊握着杯子，似乎它是他需要依附的惟一東西——

“可是她需要聽到它，比爾。她需要聽到所有這些年來她對你意味着什麼。請你考慮考慮。”

我們走回康妮的房間。比爾進了屋，我走開去看望另一個病人。後來，我看見比爾坐在牀邊。康妮入睡了，他握着她的一隻手。那天是2月12日。

兩天後的中午時分，我順着收容所病房過道向前走着。比爾站在那裏，靠着牆，凝視着地面。護士長已經告訴我，康妮在上午11點故去了。

比爾看見我後，讓我擁抱了他許久。他滿臉淚水，渾身顫抖。最後，他向後靠在牆上，深深地吸了一口氣。

“我有話非說不可，”他說道。“我得說，對她說出來，感覺真是好極了。”他停下來擤鼻子。“你說的話我想了很多;今天早上我對她說我多麼愛她……我多麼珍惜與她結爲夫妻。你真該看看她的笑容!”

我走進康妮的房間，親自去和她告別 。我看見，牀頭桌上放着一張比爾給她的大大的情人節賀卡——就是那種充滿柔情蜜意的賀卡，上面寫着：“給我出色的妻子……我愛你。”

　經典英語感人散文：美麗的微笑與愛心

The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition，and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “thank you” and she died. I could not help but examine my conscience[良心]before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain[陰溝、下水道], half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for.” And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.

窮人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我們外出，從街上帶回了四個人，其中一個生命岌岌可危。於是我告訴修女們說：“你們照料其他三個，這個瀕危的人就由我來照顧了。”就這樣，我爲她做了我的愛所能做的一切。我將她放在牀上，看到她的臉上綻露出如此美麗的微笑。她握着我的手，只說了句“謝謝您”就死了。我情不自禁地在她面前審視起自己的良知來。我問自己，如果我是她的話，會說些什麼呢?答案很簡單，我會盡量引起旁人對我的關注，我會說我飢餓難忍，冷得發抖，奄奄一息，痛苦不堪，諸如此類的話。但是她給我的卻更多更多――她給了我她的感激之情。她死時臉上卻帶着微笑。我們從排水道帶回的那個男子也是如此。當時，他幾乎全身都快被蟲子吃掉了，我們把他帶回了家。“在街上，我一直像個動物一樣地活着，但我將像個天使一樣地死去，有人愛，有人關心。”真是太好了，我看到了他的偉大之處，他竟能說出那樣的話。他那樣地死去，不責怪任何人，不詛咒任何人，無慾無求。像天使一樣――這便是我們的人民的偉大之所在。因此我們相信耶穌所說的話――我飢腸轆轆――我衣不蔽體――我無家可歸――我不爲人所要，不爲人所愛，也不爲人所關心――然而，你卻爲我做了這一切。

I believe that we are not real social workers. We may be doing social work in the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives[修行者、沉思冥想的人] in the heart of the world. For we are touching the body of Christ twenty-four hours…And I think that in our family we don’t need bombs and guns, to destroy, to bring peace, just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.

我想，我們算不上真正的社會工作者。在人們的眼中，或許我們是在做社會工作，但實際上，我們真的只是世界中心的修行者。因爲，一天24小時，我們都在觸摸基督的聖體。我想，在我們的大家庭時，我們不需要槍支和炮彈來破壞和平，或帶來和平――我們只需要團結起來，彼此相愛，將和平、歡樂以及每一個家庭成員靈魂的活力都帶回世界。這樣，我們就能戰勝世界上現存的一切邪惡。

And with this prize that I have received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace be the good news to the poor. The poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. To be able to do this, our Sisters, our lives have to be wove with prayer. They have to be woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because today there is so much suffering…When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable…And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.

我準備以我所獲得的諾貝爾和平獎獎金爲那些無家可歸的人們建立自己的家園。因爲我相信，愛源自家庭，如果我們能爲窮人建立家園，我想愛便會傳播得更廣。而且，我們將通過這種寬容博大的愛而帶來和平，成爲窮人的福音。首先爲我們自己家裏的窮人，其次爲我們國家，爲全世界的窮人。爲了做到這一點，姐妹們，我們的生活就必須與禱告緊緊相連，必須同基督結結一體才能互相體諒，共同分享，因爲同基督結合一體就意味着互相體諒，共同分享。因爲，今天的世界上仍有如此多的苦難存在……當我從街上帶回一個飢腸轆轆的人時，給他一盤飯，一片面包，我就能使他心滿意足了，我就能軀除他的飢餓。但是，如果一個人露宿街頭，感到不爲人所要，不爲人所愛，惶恐不安，被社會拋棄――這樣的貧困讓人心痛，如此令人無法忍受。因此，讓我們總是微笑想見，因爲微笑就是愛的開端，一旦我們開始彼此自然地相愛，我們就會想着爲對方做點什麼了。
