身體最重要的部位

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 guess at what I thought was the correct answer.

When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us 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.”

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. 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 your life.” 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 your head?”

She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will 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.

身體最重要的部位

我媽媽以前問過我身體里最重要的部位是哪。一年又一年過去了，我老是在想正確的答案。

當(dāng)我還小，我覺得聽覺對(duì)于人類很重要，所以我說：“我的耳朵，媽媽。”

她說：“不對(duì)，很多人耳聾。你再想想，以后再問你。”

幾年過去后她又問我。自第一次嘗試后，我一直在思考正確答案。

所以這次我告訴她：“媽媽，視力對(duì)每個(gè)人都很重要，所以答案肯定是我們的眼睛。”

她看著我說：“你學(xué)得很快，但是答案不對(duì)，因?yàn)槭�眠的人大有人在�?/FONT>”
