英语翻译
Mr.Dawson was an old grouch (脾气坏的
人),and everyone in town knew it.Kids
knew not to go into his yard to pick an
apple,because old Dawson,they said,
would come after you with his gun.
One Friday,12-year-old Janet was walking
out with her friend Amy.They had to go by
Dawson’s house,but as they got close
Janet saw him sitting on his front porch (
门廊) and suggested they cross over the
street.Like most,she was scared of the
old man.
Amy said not to worry.When they got
close enough,Dawson looked up with his
usual frown (皱眉),but when he saw it
was Amy,he gave a broad smile.
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was
staying overnight with her and they were
going to listen to music and play games.
Dawson told them that sounded fun,and
gave them each an apple.
Later,Janet asked Amy,“Everyone says
he’s the meanest man in town.How
come he was so nice to us?”
Amy explained that when she first started
walking past his house he wasn’t very
friendly,but she pretended he was
wearing an invisible (觉察不到的) smile
and so she always smiled.It took a while,
but one day he half-smiled back.
After a while,he started smiling real
smiles and then talked to her.She said he
always offers her an apple now,and is
always very kind.
“An invisible smile?” questioned Janet.
“Yes,” answered Amy,“My grandma
told me that if I pretended I wasn’t
afraid and pretended he was smiling an
invisible smile at me and I smiled back at
him,sooner or later he would really smile.”
If we remember that everyone wears an
invisible smile,we too will find that most
people can’t resist our sunniness after
a while.
We’re always on the go trying to
achieve so much,aren’t we?It’s so
easy to get caught up in everyday life
that we forget how simply we can bring
cheer to ourselves and others.Giving a
smile takes so little effort; let’s make
sure that we’re not the ones that
others have to pretend are wearing
invisible smiles.

道森先生是个坏脾气的老头子,镇上的每个人都知道这个.小孩们知道不能到他的院子里摘美味的苹果,甚至掉在地上的也不能捡,因为据他们说,老道森会端着他的弹丸猎枪跟在你后面追.
一个周五,12岁的珍妮特要陪她的朋友艾米过夜.她们去艾米家的途中得路过道森先生的房子.当她们离道森家越来越近时,珍妮特看见道森先生坐在前廊,于是她建议她们过马路从街的另一边走.跟大多数孩子一样,珍妮特听过他的故事,对他很是害怕.
艾米说别担心,道森先生不会伤害任何人.但每向前走一步,离老人的房子越近,珍妮特就越紧张.当她们走到房子那儿,道森抬起了头,一如既往地皱着他的眉头.但当他看到是艾米,一个灿烂的笑容让他整个表情都变了,他说:“你好,艾米小姐,我看见今天有位小朋友陪你.”
艾米也对他微笑,告诉他珍妮特会陪她过夜,她们要一起听音乐玩游戏.道森告诉她们这听上去很有趣,给她们每人一个从他的树上刚摘下来的苹果.她们很高兴地接受了,因为道森的苹果是镇上最棒的.
走到道森听不到的地方,珍妮特问艾米:“每个人都说他是镇上最不好打交道的人,但他为什么对我们这么好呢?”
艾米说当她第一次路过他家时,他不是很友好,这让她害怕.但她假装他有着看不见的微笑,所以她总对他回之以微笑.终于过了一段时间,有一天,他也对她露出了一点笑容.
再过了些日子,他开始真正地对她笑了,并开始和艾米说话.开始只是打个招呼,后来越来越多.她说他现在总给她苹果,总是很友善.
“看不见的笑容?”珍妮特问.
“是的,”艾米回答道.“我奶奶告诉我如果我假装不害怕,假装他有着看不见的笑容,我对他微笑,总有一天他会真正微笑起来.奶奶说笑容是可以互相感染的.”
如果我们记住艾米奶奶说的,每个人都有着看不见的笑容,我们会发现大多数人在一段时间后是无法抗拒我们的微笑的.
我们总是忙着去尽量完成更多的事,不是吗?买东西,打扫屋子,割院子里的草--总有些什么事.这就使我们很容易在日常生活中忘记:给自己和别人带来快乐是多么简单的事情.绽放微笑花费的精力与时间很少,让我们确保自己不会成为这样的人--别人总得假装我们有看不见的笑容.
