一生必讀的英語經典美文-圣誕之夜(2)

　　After a short ride, the boy turned his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"

　　跑了一小段路后，小男孩眼光水靈閃閃地說道，“先生，您可以把車開到我家門前嗎?”

　　Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again.

　　保羅微微一笑。他覺得他知道這個小家伙想要干什么，他想要向他的鄰居炫耀他可以坐一輛大汽車回家。但是，保羅又一次想錯了。

　　"Would you stop at those with two steps?" the boy asked.

　　“您可以在那有兩個臺階的房子前停下嗎?” 小男孩問道。

　　He ran up stairs. Then in a little while, Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He set him down on the bottom step. Then a sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.

　　他跑著上樓去了。然后一小會兒，保羅聽到他回來的腳步聲，但他沒再用跑的了。保羅看見他正攙扶著他的跛腳的弟弟，他扶著他坐在最底層的臺階上，然后擁抱著他，指著這部車。

　　"There she is, buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and didn't cost hime a cent. And some day, I'm gonna give you one just like it. Then you can see for yourself all the prettiest things in the windows that I was trying to tell you about."

　　“小弟，那就是我在樓上跟你說的那部車。他哥哥給他的圣誕禮物，不用花他一分錢。將來某天我也要給你一部像那樣的車，那樣你就可以自己去看我以前盡力想讓你知道的那些窗邊的圣誕飾品了。”

　　Paul got off and lifted the lad into the front of his car. The shinning eyed old brother crimbed in beside him. And three of them began a memorable holiday ride.

　　保羅下車把跛腳的小孩抱上了車的前座，他的眼睛水靈靈的哥哥爬上了車，坐到了他旁邊。然后他們三個開始一段令人難忘的旅程。

　　That Christmas eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant, when he said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive..."

　　那個圣誕前夜，保羅收獲了很多，他真正體會了耶穌所說的那句話，“施舍比接受更有福...”
