For many of us one Christmas stands out from all the others the one when the meaning of the day shone clearest My own truest Christmas began on a rainy spring day in the bleakest year of my life
许说总某圣诞节充分感受天意义显格外难忘真实圣诞节发生生中凄凉年
Recently divorced I was in my 20s had no job and was on my way downtown to go the rounds of the employment offices I had no umbrella for my old one had fallen apart and I could not afford another one I sat down in the streetcarand there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle inlaid with gold and necks of bright enamel I had never seen anything so lovely
话春季雨天开始说起20岁刚刚离婚没工作正次赶市中心求职处没带伞旧伞已破损新买起轨电车里坐发现座位边漂亮丝质伞银手面镶嵌着金子亮丽片珐琅没见漂亮东西
I examined the handle and saw a name engraved among the golden scrolls The usual procedure would have been to turn in the umbrella to the conductor but on impulse I decided to take it with me and find the owner myself I got off the streetcar in a downpour and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself Then I searched a telephone book for the name on the umbrella and found it I called and a lady answered
查手发现金色卷轴中刻着名字种情况通常做法伞交售票员时动决定伞留着找失倾盆雨中车感激开
伞遮雨电话簿里查找伞名字确电话接电话位女士
Yes she said in surprise that was her umbrella which her parents now dead had given her for a birthday present But she added it had been stolen from her locker at school (she was a teacher) more than a year before She was so excited that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house She took the umbrella and her eyes filled with tears
诧异说伞已双亲送生日礼物补充说伞年前学校柜子里偷走(教师)听出激动竟忘找工作直接家热泪盈眶接伞
The teacher wanted to give me a reward butthough twenty dollars was all I had in the worldher happiness at retrieving this special possession was such that to have accepted money would have spoiled something We talked for a while and I must have given her my address I don't remember
