    Last year around Halloween, I was invited to participate in a carnival for Tuesday’s Child, an organization that helps children with the AIDS virus. I was asked to attend because I’m on a television show; I went because I care. I don't think that most of the kids recognize me as a celebrity. They just thought of me as a big kid who came to play with them for the day. I think I liked it better that way.
    去年大約在萬圣節(jié)前夕,我應(yīng)邀參加了一個由“TUESDAY'S CHILD”主辦的嘉年華,該組織旨在幫助那些感染了艾滋病的兒童。我之所以受邀是因為我是一個電視節(jié)目的主持人;我之所以參加是因為我也很關(guān)注他們。我想絕大多數(shù)孩子并不會把我當(dāng)作一位名人。他們只會把我當(dāng)作一個在這里陪他們玩的大孩子而已。我想我更喜歡這樣。
    At the carnival they had all kinds of booths. I was drawn to one in particular because of all the children that had gathered there. At this booth, anyone who wanted to could paint a square. Later that square was going to be sewn together with the others, to make a quilt. The quilt would be presented to a man who had dedicated his life to this organization and would soon be retiring.
    在嘉年華上,孩子們有各種各樣的棚。我看到所有孩子都聚在一個棚子下面,我也被他們吸引了過去。在棚下,大家都想畫一個棉桃。一會后,棉桃彼此錯綜在一起,做成了一個被子,這個被子將被送給將其一生奉獻給這個組織的人,他不久將會退休。
    They gave everyone fabric paints in bright, beautiful colors and asked the kids to paint something that would make the quilt beautiful. As I looked around at all the squares, I saw pink hearts and bright blue clouds, beautiful orange sunrises and green and purple flowers. The pictures were all bright, positive and uplifting. All except for one.
    他們把鮮艷的、色彩各異的顏料發(fā)給每個孩子,讓孩子在這個被子上畫點什么東西把它弄好看。我在場地轉(zhuǎn)悠,看到他們畫的有紅色的心,湛藍色的云彩,橘黃色的日出,翠綠的綠葉和紫羅蘭色的花朵。所有的圖案都是那么明亮,樂觀和向上??芍挥幸环狻?BR>    The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was dark, empty, lifeless. It lacked the bright, vibrant colors that his fellow artists had used.
    坐在我的旁邊的那個男孩,正在畫一個心形,可這個心卻是暗淡的,空蕩蕩的,死氣沉沉的。它沒有他的“大作家”伙伴們所畫的那樣色彩明亮,富有活力。
