英语翻译
I'll never forget one summer day in 1975.On that day my father suddenly died because of an unexplained illness at the age of 36.Later that afternoon,a police officer came to my house to ask for my father's permission (允许)for the hospital to use Mother's valve(心脏瓣膜).I was greatly surprised.I ran into the house in tears.At 14 I just couldn't understand why people would take apart(分解) a person I loved.But my father told him,"Yes."
"How can you let them do that to her?" I cried at
him.
"Linda," he said quietly,putting his arms around me,"the greatest present you can give is a part of yourself.Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a person's life better after we died,our death will have meaning."
The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most important in my life.
Years passed.I married and had a family of my own.In 1996 my father became seriously ill.With a smile he told me that when he died,he wanted to donate(捐赠) whatever was in good condition(状况),especially his eyes.
My father died and we donated his eyes as he had wanted.Three days later,my daughter said,"Mum,I'm so proud of what you did for Grandpa." At that moment I realized that my father gave much more than his eyes.What he left behind sparkled(闪烁) in my' daughter's eyes-pride.
我永远都忘不了1975年的那一个夏天.妈妈36岁那年的一天她突然病逝了.那天下午,一位警官来我家,征求我父亲的同意,因为医院想要取得我母亲的器官.我非常震惊,哭着跑进屋了.那个时候,我14岁,并不懂得为什么别人能从我失去的人身上拿走那么多.但我的父亲告诉他可以.
“为什么你要同意呢?”我对爸爸说.
“琳达,”他搂着我,很平静地说,“我们能给予最好的礼物,是自己的一部分.你妈妈和我很早之前就决定了,如果我们能在死后让别人的生活过得更好,那我们的生命将能得到延续.”这句话让我回想了很久.
从那个时候起,我意识到,父亲给予我的并不只是他的眼睛,还有作为女儿眼中的骄傲.
再问: 后面还有呢
