本文以人物為線索展開，講述了兩個病重的男人住在同一間病房，一個Ben的人被允許每天下午在床上坐一個小時，幫助排出肺部的液體。他的床緊挨著房間里唯一的窗戶。另一個人，Leo不得不整天平躺著。每天Ben都會給Leo描述窗外的世界，Leo聽著也很高興。最后Ben去世了，Leo移到了窗邊，才發(fā)現(xiàn)窗外只有一堵空墻，護士才告訴他Ben是盲人，甚至連墻都看不見。而正是Ben對他親愛的朋友的摯愛，才使他的世界里出現(xiàn)了一道永恒的彩虹。

One morning, the nurse arrived to check the two men, only to find the lifeless body of Ben. After his death, the room was filled with dead silence. Lying in the bed, Leo couldn’t help staring at the only window, tears pouring down his cheeks. Dying to see the view described by Ben, Leo asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable she left him alone. Painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow and slowly turned to take his first look at the world through the window. He thought he would have the joy of seeing it for himself.

However, he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building. Stunned and paralyzed, Leo couldn’t believe what he thought was a beautiful scene turned out to be just a blank wall. After all, Ben’s descriptions of the outside world were so convincing and vivid. When he asked the nurse what could have forced his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window, the nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.” It was Ben’s devoted love to his dear friend that pictured an everlasting rainbow in Leo’s world.

一天早上，護士來檢查這兩個男人，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)本的尸體已經(jīng)沒有了生命。他死后，房間里充滿了死一般的寂靜。躺在床上，雷歐忍不住盯著唯一的窗戶，淚水順著臉頰流了下來。Leo 迫不及待地想看到 Ben 所描述的景色，詢問是否可以將他移到窗戶旁邊。護士很高興做出改變，在確保他感到舒適后，她讓他一個人呆著。痛苦地，他用一只手肘撐起身子，慢慢地轉身，透過窗戶第一次看到了這個世界。他以為親眼看到它會很高興。

然而，他看到的只有另一棟建筑的一堵空白墻。雷歐目瞪口呆，簡直不敢相信，原本以為美好的場景，竟然只是一堵白墻。畢竟，本對外面世界的描述是如此令人信服和生動。當他問護士是什么迫使他已故室友在這扇窗外描述了如此美妙的事情時，護士回答說那個人是盲人，甚至看不見墻。她說：“也許他只是想鼓勵你。”正是本對他親愛的朋友的摯愛描繪了獅子座世界中永恒的彩虹。

By the time I got home, my eyes were red and swollen. I found my grandpa in the bean field. Sensing something wrong, he asked me what happened with great concern. I murmured the principal’s words, a surge of regret gnawing at my heart. I really hated to see my gray-haired Grandpa’s disappointment. Grandpa’s eyes rounded in disbelief. Time ticking by, he heaved a long sigh, “My child, an award bought can’t be called an award.” I nodded understandingly. But who knew how reluctant and bitter I was?

I dragged into the principal’s office the next day, sad and disappointed. My head still lifted with dignity, I tried to fight back the tears, stammering, “I cannot…afford the jacket, sir.” Staring into my eyes, the principal suddenly grinned, “I have good news for you.” I looked at him in confusion. “The board decided that an award cannot be bought just for the sake of winners’ dignity.” His eyes brimmed with smiles. I pinched my hand only to find I was not dreaming. Only at that moment did I believe that Mr. Schmidt and my grandpa were right: never can awards be falsified or bought.

到家時，我的眼睛又紅又腫。我在豆田里找到了我的爺爺。他感覺到不對勁，非常關切地問我發(fā)生了什么事。我喃喃著校長的話，心中涌起一股悔恨。我真的很討厭看到我白發(fā)蒼蒼的爺爺失望。爺爺不可置信的瞪大了眼睛。時光荏苒，他長長的嘆了口氣，“孩子，買的獎品不能叫獎品。”我理解地點點頭。但誰知道我是多么的不情愿和苦澀？

第二天我拖著進了校長辦公室，既傷心又失望。我仍然尊嚴地抬起頭，努力強忍淚水，結結巴巴地說：“我……買不起夾克，先生。”校長盯著我的眼睛，突然咧嘴一笑，“我有一個好消息要告訴你。”我困惑地看著他。“董事會決定，不能僅僅為了獲獎者的尊嚴而購買獎項。”他的眼睛里洋溢著笑意。我捏了捏自己的手，才發(fā)現(xiàn)我不是在做夢。直到那一刻我才相信施密特先生和我爺爺是對的：永遠不能偽造或購買獎品。

Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school. All the teachers filled the sidewalk, waving goodbye to the kids. But on that particular day, Steven walked slowly to the bus, his head down, tears in his eyes. He boarded the bus reluctantly, hesitated, and then ran back off the bus to hug Mr. Rowe. “I don’t want to leave you.” He sobbed. With red-rimmed eyes, Mr. Rowe comforted him, “I will miss you, too.”

Many years later, Mr. Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the army uniform. The young man stood tall and proud. It was Steven! Mr. Rowe and I couldn’t believe our eyes. He saluted and hugged Mr. Rowe tightly! “I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you!” It is my hope that every teacher is blessed with such a wonderful experience of a former student coming back to say, simply to say a very simple THANKS.

那一年時間過得飛快，不知不覺中，已經(jīng)是學校的最后一天了。所有的老師都擠滿了人行道，向孩子們揮手告別。但在那一天，史蒂文慢慢地走向公共汽車，低著頭，眼里含著淚水。他不情愿地上了車，猶豫了一下，然后跑下車去擁抱羅先生。“我不想離開你。” 他抽泣著。羅先生紅著眼眶，安慰道：“我也會想你的。”

多年后，當一位穿著軍裝的英俊年輕人走進我們的教室時，羅先生和我感到很驚訝。年輕人高大而自豪。是史蒂文！羅先生和我簡直不敢相信自己的眼睛。他行禮，緊緊地抱住了羅先生！“我今天回學校就是為了感謝你！” 我希望每一位老師都有幸獲得這樣一個曾經(jīng)的學生回來說的美妙經(jīng)歷，簡單地說一句非常簡單的謝謝。

We were worrying about what could be done. But after waiting in vain for a considerable time, Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help. God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact the garage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about how great that day was. It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received it. While we were laughing and talking merrily, the garage got our car repaired.

As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road. I paced quickly into the flower shop, where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of kindness, I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers. Soon, the heavenly scent filled the car again. Mom tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger towards her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.

Carter looked down at his desk in horror. What came into his sight was an ugly red car, which really annoyed him. Eyes narrowed and fists clenched, Carter could feel a blaze of flame fueling inside him. “What have you done to my car?” he yelled loudly. Frightened by the loud voice of his brother, Jackson drooped his head, murmured, “I just wanted to give you a surprise!” It suddenly dawned on Carter that what he did just now was just like Dexter’s action on the bus.

Carter took a deep breath and then unfolded his fist. Letting out a sigh of regret, he apologized to his brother sincerely, “I'm sorry for doing that, but I had planned to paint it blue.” Hearing this, Jackson beamed and embraced Carter tightly, paint it together! No sooner had they painted the unique car than their Mum called them to have dinner. The breeze wafted their face with delicious smell of the spaghetti and warmed the brothers’ hearts. There was no denying that siblings should get on well by being more tolerant of each other.

卡特驚恐地低頭看著自己的辦公桌。映入眼簾的，是一輛丑陋的紅色轎車，著實惹惱了他。眼睛瞇起，拳頭攥緊，卡特能感覺到他體內(nèi)燃燒著一團火焰。“你對我的車做了什么？”他大聲喊道。杰克遜被哥哥大聲的聲音嚇到，低下頭，喃喃道：“我只是想給你一個驚喜！”卡特頓時恍然大悟，自己剛才的所作所為，就像德克斯特在公交車上的動作一樣。

卡特深吸一口氣，然后張開拳頭。嘆了口氣，他誠懇地向哥哥道歉：“對不起，我本來打算把它涂成藍色的。”杰克遜一聽，喜笑顏開，緊緊抱住卡特，一起畫畫！他們剛畫完這輛獨特的汽車，媽媽就叫他們吃飯。微風拂過他們的面龐，散發(fā)著意大利面的香味，溫暖了兄弟倆的心。不可否認，兄弟姐妹之間應該通過更加寬容來相處融洽。
