The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the attractive young woman with the white cane made her way carefully up the steps She paid the driver and, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, walked down the aisle and found the seat he'd told her was empty Then she settled in, placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg
It had been a year since Susan, 34, became blind Due to a medical misdiagnosis she had been rendered sightless, and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self pity And all she had to cling to was her husband, Mark
Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and was determined to help his wife gain the strength and confidence she needed to become independent again
Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there She used to take the bus, but was now too frightened to get around the city by herself Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city
At first, this comforted Susan, and fulfilled Mark's need to protect his sightless wife who was so insecure about performing the slightest task Soon, however, Mark realized the arrangement wasn't working Susan is going to have to start taking the bus again, he admitted to himself But she was still so fragile, so angry - how would she react
Just as he predicted, Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again "I'm blind!", she responded bitterly "How am I supposed to know where I am going I feel like you're abandoning me"
Mark's heart broke to hear these words, but he knew what had to be done He
promised Susan that each morning and evening he would ride the bus with her, for as long as it took, until she got the hang of it
And that is exactly what happened For two solid weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day He taught her how to rely on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt her new environment He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat
Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own Monday morning arrived, and before she left, she threw her arms around Mark, her temporary bus riding companion, her husband, and her best friend Her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his patience, and his love She said good-bye, and for the first time, they went their separate ways
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Each day on her own went perfectly, and Susan had never felt better She was doing it! She was going to work all by herself
On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual As she was paying the fare to exit the bus, the driver said, "Boy, I sure do envy you"
Susan wasn't sure if the driver was speaking to her or not After all, who on earth would ever envy a blind woman who had struggled just to find the courage to live for the past year Curious, she asked the driver, "Why do you say that you envy me"
The driver responded, "It must feel good to be taken care of and protected like you are"
Susan had no idea what the driver was talking about, and again asked, "What do you mean"
The driver answered, "You know, every morning for the past week, a fine looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you as you get off the bus He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches until you enter your office building Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away You are one lucky lady"
Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks For although she couldn't physically see him, she had always felt Mark's presence She was lucky, so lucky, for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight, a gift she didn't need to see to believe - the gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness
On the late evening of January 20th, my mother and I sent my two-year-old sister to hospital The road was quite slippery because of the falling snow We waited for the bus for a long time, but it didn’t come We were all shivering with cold We had to give up
元月24日深夜,妈妈和我送两岁大的美妙去看病。那时天正在下着雪,路非常滑。我们等了好长时间的公共汽车,但还是没等到。因为寒冷,我们都在发抖。
While we were walking along the street, a car stopped beside us suddenly The young driver said to us, “I have a child, so I understand how difficult it must be for you to take the child out in such had weather”
正当我们沿着街边走时,一辆小车突然停住我们身边。车里的那位年轻的司机对我们说:“我也有一个小孩,因此我理解你们在如此寒冷的天气里带小孩出来是多么困难。”
Then he asked us where we would go He took us to the No43 bus stop in Dongdapiao, where the bus might take us to the hospital It happened that a bus had just left So he drove us to the next stop to catch the bus
然后他问我们去哪里。他送我们到东大桥的43路公共汽车站台,在那儿很可能有公共汽车带我们去医院。碰巧一辆公共汽车刚刚离开。所以,他开车赶到下一个公共汽车站好让我们乘上这辆公交车。
We got on the bus quickly But there was no time for us to say goodbye However, I was deeply moved
我们很快赶上了这辆车,但我们没有时间和他说再见。然而,我已被深深感动了。
I’ll never forget the kind man
我将永远不会忘记那个友好善良的人。

and make concerted efforts to build our country into a prosperous and strong (one)
Looking back (to the) history
let the children live (in) happiness
let the world be peace for ever,let the war be over---Let the war be just a part of the past ,and let the world be (peaceful) for ever

爱和时间Love and Time
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love
从前有一个岛,所有的情感都住在那里:幸福、悲伤、知识和所有其它的,爱也不例外。
One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left Except for Love
一天,所有的情感听说小岛即将沉没,因此建造小船,纷纷离开,除了爱。
Love was the only one who stayed Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment
爱是唯一留下来的,因为它希望能坚持到最后一刻。
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help
小岛即将沉没了,爱决定请求帮助。
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat Love said,
富有驾着一艘大船从爱身边经过,爱说,
"Richness, can you take me with you"
“富有,你能带上我么?”
Richness answered, "No, I can't There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat There is no place here for you"
富有回答说:“不行,我的船上载满金银财宝,没有你的地方。”
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel "Vanity, please help me!"
虚荣坐在漂亮的小船中从爱身边驶过,爱问:“虚荣,你能帮助我么?”
"I can't help you, Love You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you"
悲伤的船靠近了,爱问:“悲伤,请带我走吧。”
"Oh Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
“哦 爱,我太难过了,想一个人呆着。”
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her
幸福经过爱的身边,它太开心了,根本没听见爱在呼唤。
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you" It was an elder So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way Realizing how much was owed the elder,
突然,一个声音喊道:“来,爱,我带你走。” 声音来自“年老”。爱太高兴了,甚至忘了问他们即将去何方。当他们来到岸上,年老自己离开了。爱突然意识到“年老”给了它多大的帮助。
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me"
于是,爱问另一位老者--知识:“谁帮助了我?”
"It was Time," Knowledge answered
知识说:“是时间。”
"Time" asked Love "But why did Time help me"
“时间?”爱问:“但是时间为什么帮助我?”
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is"
知识意味深长地笑了笑,答道:“因为只有时间懂得爱的价值。”
