英语翻译
　　Every Saturday morning,Helen Myers opens the door of the little library in Ellisville,Illinois.She raises the flag outside,sits down with a book and waits for people to come.“If I have two people come in,it’s a big crowd,” says Myers,77.
　　The old lady has kept the library for more than 40 years in an old small building.It all began in June 1966,when Myers opened her library with 400 books from her home shelves.At that time,she took care of a boys’ community (社区) service group.“One of the boys noticed that I had a lot of books,and he said,‘I sure wish we could have a library here in town.’” Myers remembers.That’s all she needed.
　　Today,people don’t read much.They watch TV and play video games.But that doesn’t stop Myers from opening her library every Saturday to share her love of books.The library has always been Myers’ favorite project.In the 1970s,when the old building was too dangerous to stay in,she began saving money for a new building.
　　She sells homemade cookies,and the money pays the bills for the library.As the news about the country’s smallest library spreads,donations (捐赠) began coming in.With the donations and her own savings,Myers built Ellisville Library II,which opened in October 2003.The new library has 3500 donated books,new and used.
　　Many times,Myers opens and closes the library and sees no one.“My daughter said,‘Mom,why don’t you give up?’” Myers says,“I said,‘No.Somebody,some day,may read.Who knows?A future president of the United States may come in and get a book.’”

每个星期六的早晨,海伦.玛雅都会打开伊利诺斯州爱丽丝威力图书馆的大门,将外面的旗子升起来,坐下来看书等着人们进来.“如果有两个人进来,人就算多了”77岁的玛雅说道.
这位老妇人开这家小图书馆已经40多年了,它开始与1966年6月,她从自家的书架上拿了400本书开了这家图书馆.那时她受雇与男孩社区服务组.“其中一个男孩注意到我有很多书,于是说：我希望我们镇子上也能有图书馆”.玛雅回忆道,这就是她所需要的.
今天,人们不怎么读书了.他们看电视玩电子游戏.但这些并不能阻止玛雅每周六开图书馆分享她所喜爱的书.这个图书馆是玛雅最得意的事.在1970年,当这个老建筑已经危及人们居住时,她开始筹款建造新建筑.
她卖自制的饼干,挣的钱用于建造图书馆.当有关这个国家最小的图书馆消息传开时,各地的捐赠开始涌来.靠着这些捐赠以及自己的积蓄,玛雅建造了另一家爱丽丝威力图书馆,并于2003年10月开馆.新的图书馆有3500册捐赠的书,有使用过的,也有新的.
很多次,玛雅打开或关上图书馆的门但看不到一个人.“我女儿说：妈妈,你为什么不放弃?”玛雅说“不,也许有一天,有人会来读的,谁知道呢?也许美国总统会进来然后拿起一本书?”
