【赫临译笔】放慢你的脚步 - 心云驛站

一位年轻有为的总经理开着崭新的豪车，行驶在一个居民区，速度有点快。他看着孩子们在停下的车的缝隙中突然跑出来，他觉得好象看见了什么，他放慢了速度。

他的车经过时，一个孩子出现了，一块砖砸在了他的车窗上。他紧踩刹车，急忙调头回到了扔砖的地方。

他跳下车，抓住一个男孩，把他推到一辆停在那里的车上，喊道：“瞧你干的是什么事，你是谁？你到底为什么要这么做？”他越来越生气，继续说：“我这是辆新车，你扔那块砖要花去很多钱，你为什么这样做？”

“请息怒，先生。对不起，我不知道自己还能怎么做！”少年解释说：“是我弟弟，他从马路牙子上滚下来，从轮椅中掉出来，我弄不动他。”抽泣着，男孩请求总经理：“请帮我把他抱回轮椅好吗？他受伤了，他太重，我抱不动。”

总经理被感动得说不出话来，努力控制着迅速升起的哽咽，他抱着小孩放到轮椅上，掏出手帕，为他擦拭着伤，看看是不是摔坏了。

“谢谢您，先生。上帝保佑您。”孩子感激地说。总经理目送着小男孩推着他弟弟上了人行道，向家里走去。

他用了很长时间才走到车旁，他走得很慢。他没有去修车窗。他留下那个凹痕来提醒自己，生活中不要太匆忙，以至于别人要想唤起你的注意还需要砸你的车窗。

生活会向你的心灵轻诉。有时，你没有时间倾听，那么你只有两种选择：第一，倾听来自心灵之声；第二，等着拍砖。

你是否因生活节奏太快，而有时忽视了所爱的人，使他们一直怀疑你是否真得爱他们？

附：原文

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street， going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.

As his car passed， one child appeared， and a brick smashed into the Jag's side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown.

He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car， shouting， "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?" Building up a head of steam， he went on" That's a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"

“Please， mister， please， I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!”pleaded the youngster." It's my brother，" he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.

Sobbing， the boy asked the executive， "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words， the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts， checking to see that everything was going to be okay.

"Thank you， sir. And God bless you，" the grateful child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long walk backs to his Jaguar... a long， slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.

Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes, when you don't have the time to listen, it's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick!

Do you sometimes ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy leaving them to wonder whether you really love them?
