卡卡英語 第257期:真正的安慰無需多言
今天分享的是一個感人的故事。
重點詞匯
mastectomy n.乳房切除術(shù);
diagnose vt.診斷; 判斷;
Once, many years ago, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and was scheduled for a mastectomy.
That morning I attended a college class in which the husband of a good friend was also a student. Most mornings we said hello to one another and that was about it - he would sit with his guy friends, and I usually sat alone. When he entered class that morning, he came and sat next to me. He never mentioned my mom, never talked about the situation at all...he just sat next to me and chatted a bit.
That was the day I learned that sometimes the kindest act is just to BE there...and I always remember this as one of the most touching acts of kindness I've ever received.
很多年前，我媽媽被診斷出患有乳腺癌，并計劃做乳房切除手術(shù)。那天早上，我到大學(xué)去上課。其中一個好朋友的丈夫當(dāng)時也是一名學(xué)生。大多數(shù)早上我們只是互相打招呼——他會和他的朋友坐在一起，而我通常獨(dú)自坐著。那天早上，當(dāng)他走進(jìn)教室，他坐在我的旁邊。他沒有提起過我的媽媽，從來沒有問現(xiàn)在的狀況……他只是坐在我旁邊聊了一會兒。
那一天，我發(fā)現(xiàn)有時候最善意的舉動就是待在那…我永遠(yuǎn)記得這是我接受到的最動人的善意。
