人身上最重要的部位是什么呢?

或许每个人都会有自己不同的答案：有的人选择脑;有的人选择眼;有的人选择手。

但是你为什么选择这个答案呢?

仔细思考一下，也许你能和下面这篇文章的作者一样，获得一个让别人感到诧异的答案。

　　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.

　　从前我母亲经常问我，身体最重要的部位是什么。

许多年来，我一直以为自己所想的是正确答案。

　　When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy.

"　　当我很小的时候，我认为对人类而言，声音很重要，因此回答：妈咪，是耳朵。

”　　She said, "No.

Many people are deaf.

But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.

"　　她说：不对，有许多人是聋人。

但是你继续想，不久我会再问你。

”　　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.

"　　当她再度问我时，已经是好几年后了。

自从第一次回答之后，我就一直仔细的思考正确答案。

所以这次我对她说：妈咪，视觉对每个人都很重要，所以应该是我们的眼睛。

”　　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.

"　　她看着我，对我说：你学的很快，但还是不对，因为有许多人是盲人。

”　　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.

"　　往后的年日里她又问了我几次，但她总是回答：不对，可是孩子啊，你每年都有进步喔。

”　　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?

"　　去年我祖父去世，每个人都很伤心，大家都哭了。

轮到我们向爷爷做最后的告别时，妈妈看着我，问我：宝贝，你知道身体最重要的部位了吗?

”　　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.

"　　她在这时候问我这个问题，令我吓了一大跳。

我一直以为这只是我和她之间的游戏。

她看我一脸迷惑的样子，对我说：这问题很重要，它是你真正理解生活的标志。

”我看她眼睛里充盈着泪水，她说：宝贝，最重要的部位是你的肩膀。

”　　I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?

"　　我问：是因为它能支撑脑袋吗?

”　　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 sometime 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.

"　　她回答说：不，是因为让我们的朋友、我们所爱的人哭泣的时候，它可以给予依靠。

宝贝，每个人在一生中都会有需要一个可以靠着哭泣的肩膀的时候。

我只是希望当你需要时，会有足够的爱人和朋友，给你一个可倚靠哭泣的肩膀。

”　　Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one.

It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

　　从那时起，我知道身体最重要的部位不是利己的部位，而是对别人的痛苦能感同身受的部位。
