答案:

The Most Important Body Part

My mother used to ask me, “What is the most important part of the body?”

Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”

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.” 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.”

Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and 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.”

Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry. 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?” 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 in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson.”

She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”

I asked, “Is it because it holds up my head?”

She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a 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, so you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others. People will forget what you said...People will forget what you did...But people will NEVER forget how you made them FEEL.

譯文：

人體最重要的部位媽媽以前老問我：“人身上最重要的部位是什么？”

這些年來，我一直都在猜測自認(rèn)為正確的答案。小時(shí)候，我覺得聲音對我們?nèi)祟惡苤匾谑俏艺f：“是我的耳朵，媽咪。”媽媽說：“不是的，很多人可是聽不見聲音的哦。你繼續(xù)思考吧，我很快會再問你的。”

幾年后，她又問起這個(gè)問題來。自從第一次嘗試回答后，我一直在琢磨著正確答案。所以，這次我對她說：“媽咪，視力對每個(gè)人都是非常重要的，所以，答案肯定是我們的眼睛?！眿寢尶粗遥瑢ξ艺f：“你領(lǐng)會得很快，但答案還是錯了，因?yàn)橛泻芏嗳耸强床灰姈|西的。”

又一次被難倒了，我只好繼續(xù)尋求答案。幾年來，媽媽又問了我?guī)状危看嗡幕卮鸲际牵骸安粚?，孩子，不過你一年比一年聰明啦?！?/p>

去年，爺爺去世了。每個(gè)人都悲傷而泣，連父親都痛哭失聲。我到現(xiàn)在仍記憶猶新，因?yàn)槟鞘俏移缴诙慰吹礁赣H哭。輪到我們跟爺爺最后告別時(shí)，媽媽看著我，問：“寶貝兒，你現(xiàn)在知道人身上最重要的部位是什么了嗎？”我當(dāng)時(shí)大吃一驚，我一直以為這是我們倆之間的一個(gè)游戲而已。

看到我一臉疑惑，媽媽對我說：“這個(gè)問題非常重要，看來你一直都沉浸在自己的生活中。你以前每次給我答案時(shí)，我都跟你說錯了，并且都舉例說明?？山裉欤銘?yīng)該學(xué)會這重要的一課?！?/p>

她低頭看著我，那種神情只有一位母親才有。我看見她熱淚盈眶。她說：“寶貝兒，你身上最重要的部位就是你的肩膀?！?/p>

我問：“是因?yàn)樗沃业念^嗎？”

她回答道：“不，是因?yàn)楫?dāng)你的朋友或親人哭泣時(shí)，它可以托起他們的頭。寶貝兒，每個(gè)人的一生總有一些時(shí)候需要有個(gè)肩膀可以靠著哭泣。我只愿你有足夠的愛和朋友，這樣，當(dāng)你需要時(shí)，總有一個(gè)肩膀給你哭泣?！?/p>

那會兒，我明白了人身體最重要的部位應(yīng)該是無私的，它是對別人痛苦的同情。人們會忘記你說過的話……忘記你做過的事……但人們永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記你帶給他們的感受。
