美文赏析:勇气,来自爱与关怀(在线收听

   In 1943, I was 19 years old and worked at a barbecue located about a mile from my home.

  1943年(时值第二次世界大战),当时我只有19岁,在离家一英里的烧烤店工作。
  It was a beautiful, warm June night, so I decided to walk home from work rather than take a bus.
  那是一个美好温暖的六月夜晚,于是我决定不坐公交车而是步行回家。
  As I walked up the back porch steps, I heard a male voice: “Kiss me, or I’ll scream.”
  当我正准备走上屋后门廊的台阶,听到一个男性的声音:“亲吻我,不然我就尖叫。”
  After my initial shock, I turned around to see a young soldier in an Army uniform.
  一开始我感到非常害怕,等我转过头我看到一名身着军装的年轻士兵。
  I kissed him softly on the cheek.
  我在他的脸颊上轻轻地吻了一下。
  He smiled.
  他微笑了。
  “Thank you,” he said, and walked off into the night.
  然后他说:“谢谢你。”接着就走入了夜幕之中。
