生命中的“磚頭”(上)

life throws a brick at your head

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street， going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.

一位年輕的總裁，以有點快的車速，開著他的新Jaguar經(jīng)過住宅區(qū)的巷道。他必須小心游戲中的孩子突然跑到路中央，所以當(dāng)他覺得小孩子快跑出來時，就要減慢車速。

As his car passed， one child appeared， and a brick smashed into the Jag s side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown.

He jumped out of the car， grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car， shouting， "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?" Building up a head of steam， he went on"That s a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"

就在他的車經(jīng)過一群小朋友的時候，一個小朋友丟了一塊磚頭打到了他的車門，他很生氣的踩了煞車并后退到磚頭丟出來的地方。

他跳出車外，抓了那個小孩，把他頂在車門上說：「你為什么這樣做，你知道你剛剛做了什么嗎?接著又吼道：「你知不知道你要賠多少錢來修理這臺新車，你到底為什么要這樣做?」

“Please， mister， please， I m sorry. I didn t know what else to do!”pleaded the youngster.

"It s my brother，" he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can t lift him up.

小孩子求著說：「先生，對不起，我不知道我還能怎么辦?」　他接著說：「因為我哥哥從輪椅上掉下來，我沒辦法把他抬回去?！?

Sobbing， the boy asked the executive， "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He s hurt and he s too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words， the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts， checking to see that everything was going to be okay.

那男孩啜泣著說：「你可以幫我把他抬回去嗎?他受傷了，而且他太重了我抱不動。」
