The Power of a Smile
微笑的力量
As a guest in a beautiful country-China, I have been treated with great love and respect, even though I know that it is not always easy for my students to understand me in my class. I consider myself to be like a grandfather to many of them.
作為這個美麗國度--中國的客人，我深刻感受到了大家對我的關愛和尊重，即使我知道我在課堂上所說的學生們不一定能全部理解。我告訴自己要做到像他們中許多人的爺爺一樣慈祥可親。
Two years ago, in the Chinese classroom, waiting for my students, when a lovely young lady entered the room. Suddenly the room was warm and cheerful. I marveled that how the change from a dim and somewhat drab classroom came to be a bright and happy classroom could happen so quickly. Seeking the answer, I looked more closely at the Chinese girl who stood before me. By all accounts, she could be described as ordinary except for the one characteristic that had an immediate effect on me and my class: her smile.
兩年前，我在我的課堂上等待我的學生，一個可愛的年輕女孩走進了我的教室，我頓時感覺教室充滿了陽光和喜悅。我驚訝於這個原本暗淡無光的教室竟能如此之快變得鮮活溫暖，為了尋求使這一切變化的答案，我仔細看了看這個坐在我眼前的中國女孩。在所有人看來，她可以被形容為一個普通女孩，除了她的那個能讓我和我的教室發生變化的特點---她的笑容。
She had the most beautiful smile I think I have ever seen. I was so impressed by her smile that I told my wife about the experience when I arrived home after ending the class. Since then when I saw this young lady, she had the same beautiful smile. She and I have become very good friends. I know there are at times when she has trials and reasons not to smile. Nevertheless her smile is always there and she never fails to warm my soul.
那個女孩有著我從未見過的最美的笑容。我對她的笑容印象深刻，回到家我還告訴了我妻子關於那個女孩笑容的魅力。自那之後，每次見到她，都能看見她那同樣的笑容。後來我們成了很好的朋友。我知道，當她遇到困難或者其他事情她有理由不去微笑，但是，儘管如此，她總是會帶著笑容，溫暖著我的靈魂。
Many times I have pondered the effect a smile had on others. I have decided that a smile is one of the greatest powers we possess. If we have an angry heart, we quickly make our people around us instantly unhappy.But if we smile,we have the effect on everybody and they may become happy and warm.
很多次我都在思考笑容對人的影響。我覺得笑容是人類擁有的神奇力量之一。如果我們有一顆憤怒的心，我們身邊的人會馬上也變得不開心。但是如果我們微笑，人與人是會相會影響得，他們也會變得開心溫暖。
I have decided that as I walk along the lovely pathways of my beautiful campus, I will smile and say hello to all those I meet. The smile makes all of us instant friends. In America we have many instant foods that only require adding a liquid such as water, juice or milk to make a delicious meal. The smile makes instant friends and is the magic ingredient that makes us all brothers, sisters and friends.
從此，每當我走在校園的路上，我都會對我遇到的人微笑並且打招呼。就是這每一個笑容，讓我們迅速成為朋友。我們美國有很多種只需加上一些液體，如水，果汁，或者牛奶就能成為一道美食的即食食品。笑容就像即食食品中添加的神奇液體，是它，讓我們匯聚到了一起，成為彼此相親相愛的兄弟，姐妹和朋友。
