:感恩节故事

  感恩节故事三

  It was the day before Thanksgiving – the first one my three children and I would be spending without their father, who had left several months before. Now the two older children were very sick with the flu, and the eldest had just been prescribed bed rest for a week.

  那是感恩节的前一天---孩子的父亲在几个月前离开了我们,这将是我和三个孩子在没有他们父亲陪伴下度过的第一个感恩节.现在两个大的孩子患了重感冒,而且医生还要求最大的那个孩子必须卧床休息一周。

  It was a cool, gray day outside, and a light rain was falling. I grew wearier as I scurried around, trying to care for each child: thermometers, juice, diapers. And I was fast running out of liquids for the children. But when I checked my purse, all I found was about $2.50 – and this was supposed to last me until the end of the month. That's when I heard the phone ring.

  这是个寒冷,灰暗的日子,窗外还飘着细雨.我四处忙碌着要照看好每个孩子:测量体温,喂食,换尿布我感到越来越疲惫.而且给孩子们喝的东西也马上要彻底地用完了.但是当我打开钱包,所能找到的只有2.5美元左右--可我还得靠这点钱支撑到月底啊。就在这时电话铃突然响了起来.
