You Are My Life你是我的生命

 　　There was a boy who was sent to a boarding school[寄宿学校]. He used to be the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. But things changed after that. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. He felt worthless¹ and that no one loved him.

　　His parents began to worry. But even they did not know what was wrong. So his dad decided² to visit the school and talk with him.

　　They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual[随便的] questions about his classes, teachers and sports. Then he asked, “Do you know, son, why I am here today?”

　　The boy said, “To check my grades?”

　　“No, no,” his dad replied. “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I don’t care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”

　　Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this Earth who cared for him deeply³. He meant the world to someone.

　　Thanks a lot, Dad. YOU ARE MY LIFE.

　　一个男孩被送到寄宿学校念书。他以前是班上最聪明的学生，在所有竞赛中都独占鳌头。到了寄宿学校后情况却变了。他的成绩开始下滑，讨厌团体活动，总是形单影只。他觉得自己一无是处，没人再爱他了。

　　他的父母开始为他担忧。但就连他们也不知道出了什么问题。于是，他的父亲决定到学校走一趟，跟他好好谈一谈。

　　他们坐在学校附近的湖岸上。父亲一开始只是问儿子一些平常的问题，例如他上了什么课、老师怎么样、进行什么运动等。然后他问：“儿子，你知道我今天为什么到这里来吗？”

　　男孩说：“来查看我的成绩？”

　　“不，不，”他的父亲回答。“我来是为了告诉你，你是我最重要的人。我希望看到你开心。我在乎的不是成绩。我在乎的是你。我在乎的是你过得快快乐乐。你是我的生命。”

　　现在，这个男孩拥有他需要的一切了。他知道在这个世界上有人非常非常关心他，他就是这个人的一切。

　　非常感谢您，爸爸。您是我的生命。
