The perfect husband
Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone
on a bench rings and a man turns on the hands free speaker
function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to
listen.
MAN: 'Hello'
WOMAN: 'Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?'
MAN: 'Yes'
WOMAN: 'I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat.
It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?'
MAN: 'Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.'
WOMAN: 'I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the
New 2009 models. I saw one I really liked.'
MAN: 'How much?'
WOMAN: '$90,000'
MAN: 'OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.'
WOMAN: 'Great! Oh, and one more thing...the house I wanted last
year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000'
MAN: 'Well, go ahead and give them an offer of $900,000. They
will probably take it.. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand.'
WOMAN: 'OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!'
MAN: 'Bye! I love you, too.'
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at
him in astonishment, mouths agape.
He turns and asks: 'Anyone know who this phone belongs to?'

動人心弦的小男孩 (Little Boy Touches Hearts)
I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back.
我在「塔杰」商店閒逛時,看到收銀員將一些錢退還給小男孩。
The boy couldn ' t have been more than 5 or 6 years old. 這男孩不過5、6歲。
The Cashier said, ' I ' m sorry, but you don ' t have enough money to buy this doll. '
收銀員說:『抱歉!你買這娃娃的錢不夠。』
Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ' ' Granny,are you sure I don ' t have enough money? ' ' 小男孩轉向他旁邊的老婦人: 「奶奶!妳也認為我的錢不 嗎?」
The old lady replied: ' ' You know that you don ' t have enough money to buy this doll, my dear. ' '
老婦人回道:「親愛的!你知道買這個娃娃的錢是不夠的。」
Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly.
她要小男孩呆在那裡5分鐘,她一下就回來。 她迅速離開了。
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
小男孩的手仍然握著娃娃。
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
最後我向他走去,問他這個娃娃你想給誰。
' It ' s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas.
『這是我妹妹的最愛,非常想要的聖誕節娃娃。
She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her. '
她一直認為聖誕老人會帶娃娃來給她的。」
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.
我告訴他不用擔心,聖誕老人最後可能會帶給她的。
But he replied to me sadly. ' No, Santa Claus can ' t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when he goes there. ' 但他哀傷地回答我『不!聖誕老人不可能將它帶到她現在的地方給她。我必須將娃娃交給我媽,當她去那裡的時候可以給我妹妹。』
His eyes were so sad while saying this. ' My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister. ' '
他說話時的眼睛是哀傷的。『我妹妹已經和上帝在一起。爸爸說 媽媽很快也將要去見上帝,因此我認為她可以將娃娃帶給我妹妹。』
My heart nearly stopped.
我的心臟幾乎要停止了。
The little boy looked up at me and said: ' I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall. '
小男孩看我說:『我叫爸爸告訴媽媽現在不要走,讓她等我從購物中心回來。』
Then he showed me a very nice photo of himself. He was laughing. He then told me ' I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won ' t forget me. '
然後他拿出一張他自己非常漂亮的相片給我看。他笑著告訴我『我要媽媽帶著我的相片,這樣她就不會忘記我了。』
' I love my mommy and I wish she didn ' t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister. '
『我愛我的媽媽,我希望她不要離開我,但是爸爸說她必須去找我妹妹。』
Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
然後他安靜地用哀傷的眼睛再看著娃娃。
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. ' Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll! ' '
我趕緊摸著錢包對小男孩說『我們再檢查一下,說不定您有足夠的錢買玩偶! 』
' OK ' he said, ' I hope I do have enough. ' I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
『好呀!』他說『我希望有足夠的錢』。沒讓他看見,我塞了一些錢到他的錢包中,我們開始數錢。買娃娃的錢足 了,甚之還有剩餘呢。
The little boy said: ' Thank you God for giving me enough money! '
小男孩說:『謝謝上帝給了我足 的錢!』
Then he looked at me and added, ' I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me! ' '
然而他看著我補充說『昨晚睡前,我要求上帝讓我的錢能足夠買這個娃娃,因此媽媽能將它帶給我妹妹。祂聽見我了! 』
' I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn ' t dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. ' '
『我也想有足夠的錢買一朵白玫瑰給我媽媽,但我不敢要求上帝太多。但祂給的錢足 買娃娃和一朵白玫瑰了。』
' My mommy loves white roses. '
『我媽媽喜歡白玫瑰』。
A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket.
幾分鐘後,老婦人回來了。我也就提了購物籃離開了。
I finished my shopping in a totally different state of mind from when I started.
我從一開始就在完全不同的心境下購物。
I couldn ' t get the little boy out of my mind.
小男孩一直無法離開我的心境。
Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl..
我想起兩天前當地報紙的一篇文章,提及一位醉酒卡車司機,撞上了一輛載著年輕少婦和一個小女孩的汽車。
The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma.
小女孩當場死亡,母親呈現彌留狀態。 這個家庭必須決定是否要拔出維持生命機器的插管,因為年輕少婦不可能從昏迷中恢復。
Was this the family of the little boy?
他就是這家庭的小男孩?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.
碰到小男孩的二天之後,我看了報紙年輕少婦過世了。
I couldn ' t stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. 我不自主的買了一束白玫瑰,來到喪家,年輕少婦的遺體在她埋葬前讓人瞻仰與最後許願。
She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.
她在那裡,裝在棺木中,在她的手中握著一朵白玫瑰和小男孩的相片,娃娃則放置在她的胸口。
I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is
still, to this day, hard to imagine. 我離開了這裡,眼淚奪眶而出,覺得我的人生已經永遠改變了。至今,小男孩對他母親和妹妹的愛,仍然難以想像。
And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him. 就在一轉眼工夫,一位醉酒司機奪去了他的所有。 Now you have 2 choices: 現在你有2個選擇:
這一生中,你錯過了什麼? what have you miss in your life
太太在二十五歲時問丈夫,the 25 years old wife asked the husband
丈夫沮喪的回答她:the husband sad to replier her

三十五歲時,when 35 years old
丈夫生氣的告訴她:the husband angry to reply her
我剛錯過了一班公車。I have missed the bus
四十五歲時,when 45 yeards old, ask her husband
丈夫傷心的說 the husband very sad and said

丈夫失望的回答:the husband very disappointed to answer
我錯過了退休的好時機。I have missed a very good oppotunity to retire
六十五歲時,when 65 years old
丈夫匆匆的答說:the husband replied
我錯過了看牙醫的時間。I have missed the time to see dentist
一如往常的,as usual
太太總是回以微笑,the wife always with the smile
而微笑中總帶著落寞。in her smile with disappointed
七十五歲那年,when 75 years old
太太不再問先生了,the wife didn't ask the husband again
此時,先生正跪坐在病危的太太面前,at the time, the husband knee down in front ot the wife
想起太太每隔一段時間,he recalls the wife asking him a question all the time
總要問他的問題,他反過來問太太,he ask his wife back
而太太的微笑中帶著解脫回答:and the wife smile and answer him
這一生,我沒有錯過你! I never missed you in my life
此時,先生早已淚流滿面,at this moment, the tears fall
原以為兩人可以永遠在一起,they thought they can be together for the rest of life
所以,終日忙著工作與繁瑣的事,so, he's just busy in his work
卻從不曾用心體貼朝夕相處的另一半,never appreciate and care of his other half
先生緊抱著太太說:the husband hug the wife and say
這輩子,我錯過妳五十年來的深情……I have missed this 50 years with your passionate in my life
繁忙的都市裡,有著許多為工作打拚的人, becaused of work
大家總習慣於把工作當成生活的重心,they have put all the time in their work
為了滿足社會的價值,they put more efforts in their desire and materialistic
不惜出賣自己的時間與身體,they put all their time in work
捨不得多花時間投資健康,they never take care of their health
以至於錯過了陪同孩子成長的機會、they have miss their time grown up with their children
忽略了身旁關心自己的親友、輕忽了自己的身體。care of their relative, friends and even themselves.
珍惜,果真要在錯過後才能感受?appreciate what you have now, do not miss everything
沒有人知道明年今日會怎麼?Nobody knows what will happen to the next
人世無常,趕緊把握當下,把心中的感激告訴愛你的人、
用行動關心你的家人,把每一天都當成人生的最後一段,
即使走了,也能讓自己及身旁的人了無遺憾。
我想我或許也有錯過了些什麼 think what I have miss before
但是要珍惜已擁有的更重要 the most important is appreciate what you have now
