There was once a guy who suffered from cancer, a cancerthat can’t be cured. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All hislife, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.
以前有个年轻小伙子患了癌症，无法治愈的一种癌症。他才18岁，而且随时可能死亡。他生命中所有的日子，就是蜗居在屋子里接受他母亲的照顾。他从没出去过，只能呆在家里，可他多想出去走走啊，哪怕就那么一次。于是他请求他的母亲（让他出去走走），母亲答应了他的请求。
He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.
走在街道上，他看到了许多商店。当他经过一个卖CD的店子正要走开时，他透过大门瞧了一眼。他停下来又折回去仔细观察这家商店。他看到了一个美丽的女孩，那女孩同他年龄相仿，他意识到他陷入一见钟情之中了。他打开门，走入商店。其它任何的事物都不存在，他的眼里只有她！他一点一点地走近这个女孩，直到走到她坐着的桌子前面才停下。
She looked up and asked, “Can I help you?”
女孩抬眼问他，“请问您要点什么？”
She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there.
她脸上满溢着微笑，在他的心里，那是他见过的世上最美的笑颜，他真想就势去吻她。
He said, “Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD.”
他答道，“唔……是的……哦……，我想买张CD。”
He picked one out and gave her money for it.
他挑了一张CD，然后付款。
“Would you like me to wrap it for you?” she asked,smiling her cute smile again.
“我帮您包扎一下好吗？”她问道，可爱的微笑又涌上她的面颊。
He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store.
他点点头，她走到柜台后边，拿着包好的CD回来递给他。他接过，走出商店。
He went home and from then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home andput it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn’t. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual. He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn’t looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out...
他回家了。此后，他每天都去那个商店，然后买张CD，她包好，给他。他把CD拿回家，放进他的衣柜里。他太害羞，不敢邀她出来，他真想那么做啊，可他不能。他的母亲察觉到了这一点并叫他去邀请女孩。因此第二天，他鼓足了所有的勇气，如同往常一般，走进商店。他买了张CD，一如往日，她再次走向柜台后边，拿着包好的CD回来。他接过CD，趁她没注意的时候，他把他的电话号码留在桌上，然后跑了……
RRRRRING!!!
丁呤呤呤……！！！
One day the phone rang, and the mother picked it up and said, “Hello?”
有天电话突然响起，男孩的母亲拿起电话，“喂？”
It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said,“You don’t know? He passed away yesterday...”
原来是那个女孩！！！母亲情不自禁地哭了，“你不知道吗？昨晚他就走了……”
The line was quiet except for the cries of the boy’smother. Later in the day, the mother went into the boy’s room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet.
电话里只听到男孩的母亲泣不成声。后来，就在那天，这位母亲走进男孩的房间，因为，她要找些有关儿子的记忆。她想她可以从整理他的衣物开始。母亲打开了衣柜门。
She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and asshe took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
出现在她面前的是一堆一堆又一堆没有打开包装的CD。看到这么多的CD她非常吃惊。她拣起一盒，坐到床上打开它。里面，有一张CD，当她拆开包装时，一页纸掉了出来。她捡起纸，开始读起来。纸上写着：“嗨……我觉得你真可爱。你愿意带我一起出去兜兜风吗？爱你，Jocelyn。”
The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD...
男孩的母亲被深深感动了，她又打开了另一张CD……
Again there was a piece of paper. It said: Hi... I thinkU R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
里面又有一张纸，上面写着：“嗨……我觉得你真可爱。你乐意带我一起出去兜兜风吗？爱你的Jocelyn。”
Love is... when you’ve had a huge fight but then decide to put aside your egos, hold hands and say, “I Love You.”
爱就是……当你内心作着巨大的思想斗争时，你只须下定决心抛开自我，握住对方的手，说——“我爱你。”
