冰冷的手(Cold hands)
i was cleaning out the pockets of my six-year-old's winter coat, when i found a pair of mittens in each pocket. thinking that one pair must not be enough to keep her hands warm. i asked her why she was carrying two pairs of mittens in her coat. she replied, "i've been doing this for a long time, mom. you see, some kids come to school without mittens and if i carry another pair, i can share with them and then their hands won't get cold."
在掏空我那六歲小女兒外套口袋時，我發現口袋里各有一雙手套。我以為一定是一雙手套不夠溫暖她的雙手了，于是問她為什么在外套里放兩雙手套。她回答說：“我這樣做了很久了，媽媽，你想想，有些小朋友沒有帶手套就來上學了，如果我多帶一雙，我就可以給他們用，那么他們的手就不會凍著了。”
