奇迹
She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. “And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages. ” He continued.
她耐心地等待着药剂师，可是药剂师非常忙，并没有注意她。最后，她从瓶子里拿出个2角5分的硬币摔在玻璃柜台上，弄出清脆的响声。“你需要点什么？”药剂师不耐烦地问，“我要去接我的弟弟，他从芝加哥来，我们很多年没见了。”他继续。
"Well I want to talk to you about my brother ” Tess answered. “He’s really really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” "I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist. “His name is Andrew and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now.
“我想跟你说下我弟弟的事情。”苔丝回答，“他真的病得很严重……我想为他买个奇迹。”“你说什么？”药剂师问到，“他叫安德鲁，爸爸说现在只有奇迹能救他。
"We don’t sell miracles here little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you ” the pharmacist said softening a little. “Listen I have the money to pay for it. Just tell me how much it costs.” The pharmacist’s brother stooped down and asked the little girl “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” "I don’t know.” Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
“我们这里不卖奇迹，小女孩，很抱歉不能帮助你，”药剂师稍带温和地说。“听着，我有很多钱，请告诉我奇迹多少钱？”这时候，药剂师的弟弟问小女孩“你弟弟需要什么样的奇迹呢？”“我不知道。”苔丝的眼泪涌了上来。
"I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. "How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents ” Tess answered. "Well what a coincidence ” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents — the exact price of a miracle for little brothers. " He grasped her hand and said “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents.”
“我只知道他病得非常厉害，妈妈说他需要做手术 “你有多少钱？”这个从芝加哥来的男人问。“一美元十一美分，”苔丝回答。 “刚刚好，”男人笑着说，“一美元十一美分 —— 正好可以为你弟弟买个奇迹。”他紧紧握住她的手说“带我去你住的地方，我想去看看你弟弟和你的父母，看看我是不是有你们需要的奇迹。”
That man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong a famous surgeon.
那位男士是卡尔顿·阿姆斯特朗----一位有名的外科医生。
The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long until Andrew was home again. Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events. “That surgery ” her Mom whispered “was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?” Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost one dollar and eleven cents plus the faith of a little child.
手术没有支付任何费用，安德鲁回家后不久就康复了。爸爸和妈妈高兴地谈论着这件事情。“这个手术真的是个奇迹，奇迹到底需要多少钱呢？”母亲低声自语。苔丝笑了，她知道奇迹的真正价值：一美元十一美分，加上一个小女孩的信念。
