丝德茜·克莱默用三分钟时间告诉我们一次动人的私人经历:一次惊悚、昂贵、带来创伤而无人愿意接受的经历也能变成一份无价的礼物.

我得过得最好礼物(The Best Gift I Ever Survived)。





Imagine, if you will, a gift. I’d like for you to picture in your mind. It’s not too big --- about the size of a golf ball. So envision what it looks like all wrapped up. But before I show you what’s inside, I will tell you, it’s going to do incredible things for you. It will bring all of your family together. You will feel loved and appreciated like never before and reconnect to friends and acquaintances you haven’t heard from in years. Adoration and admiration will overwhelm you. It will recalibrate what’s most important in your life. It will redefine your sense of spirituality and faith. You will have a new understanding and trust in your body. You’ll have unsurpassed vitality and energy. You’ll expand your vocabulary, meet new people; and you’ll have a healthier lifestyle. And get this, you’ll have an eight-week vacation of doing absolutely nothing. You’ll eat countless gourmet meals. Flowers will arrive by the truckload. People will say to you, “You look great! Have you had any work done?” And you’ll have a life time supply of good drugs. You’ll be challenged, inspired, motivated and humbled. Your life will have new meaning: peace, health, serenity, happiness, nirvana. The price?  Fifty-five thousand dollars. And that’s an incredible deal.

如果你愿意,试着想象一份礼物,我希望你在脑海中构想一下。它不是很大,大约一个高尔夫球大小,想象一下它包装起来的模样。但在我向你展示它的内容之前,我要告诉你,它将带给你不可思议的体验。它将使你合家团聚;你将感受到前所未有的爱和赞赏,与久未谋面的老友和旧识重聚。爱与赞美将充溢你耳中,它将重新调整你生活中最重要的事。它将重新定义你对精神和信仰的感受;你对自己的身体也会有一个新的认知及信赖;你将拥有无与伦比的活力和能量;你将拓展你的词汇量,结识新朋友;你将拥有更健康的生活方式。得到这个礼物,你将拥有8周的假期,什么都不用做。你将享用无尽的佳肴,收到好几卡车的鲜花。人们将会对你说,“你看起来棒极了,该做的都完成了吗?”你将有一辈子不虞匮乏的良药。你将面对挑战、受到鼓舞、充满动力,同时变得谦虚,你的生活将被赋予新的意义,和平、健康、安宁、快乐、超脱。要价多少?55,000美元。真是一桩令人难以置信的交易。

By now, I know you’re dying to know what it is and where you can get one. Does Amazon carry it? Does it have Apple logo on it? Is there a waiting list? Not likely. This gift came to me about five months ago. It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up--- not quite so pretty. And this. And then this. It was a rare jam, a brain tumor—hemangioblastoma, the gift that keeps on giving.

我知道你一定迫不及待地想知道,这礼物是什么,在哪里可以得到。亚马逊网站有卖吗?它有苹果品牌商标吗?得要排队等货吗?都不对。大概五个月前,我收到这份礼物。它包装起来时看起来像这样,不是很漂亮。之后是这个,还有这个。一个罕见的麻烦,一颗脑瘤,成血管细胞瘤,这件礼物一直在影响我。

And while I’m okay now. I wouldn’t wish this gift for you. I’m not sure you’d want it. But I wouldn’t change my experience. It profoundly altered my life in ways I didn’t expect, in all the ways I just shared with you.

现在我没事了,但我不希望你得到这份礼物,我不认为你会想要它。但我的经历不会改变。它突如其来地彻底改变了我的生活,带来了以上所述的那些改变。

So the next time you are faced with something that’s unexpected, unwanted and uncertain, consider that it just may be a gift.

所以,当你下次遇到一些意料之外的,避之不及和前途未卜的事,不妨把它看成一件礼物。
