Chapter 1 - 爱心项链 Àixīn xiàngliàn

深广
Shēn guǎng


一个晚上,
Yígè wǎnshàng,
风雪交加的时候,
fēng xuě jiāojiā de shíhou,
克雷斯驾着车子,
kè léi sī jiàzhe chēzi,
行驶在回家的路上
xíngshǐ zài huí jiā de lùshàng.
忽然车子坏了。
Hūrán chēzi huàile.


正当他焦急万分之时,
Zhèngdàng tā jiāojí wànfēn zhī shí,
一位中年的男人,
yí wèi zhōng nián de nánrén,
刚好骑着马经过这个地方。
gānghǎo qízhe mǎ jīngguò zhège dìfāng.


他用马把克雷斯的车子拉到了附近的市镇。
Tā yòng mǎ bǎ kè léi sī de jū zi lā dàole fùjìn de shì zhèn.
克雷斯非常感激,便拔钱出来给他。
Kè léi sī fēicháng gǎnjī, biàn bá qián chūlái gěi tā.
那位中年男人说
Nà wèi zhōng nián nánrén shuō


“我不需要回报,但你要答应我,
“wǒ bù xūyào huíbào, dàn nǐ yào dāyìng wǒ,
别人碰到困难的时候,
biérén pèng dào kùnnán de shíhou,
你也要尽力而为的去帮助他们”
nǐ yě yào jìnlì ér wéi de qù bāngzhù tāmen”


此后,克雷斯帮助了许多人,
Cǐhòu, kè léi sī bāngzhùle xǔduō rén,
也对受帮助的人说了同样的一句话。
yě duì shòu bāngzhù de rén shuōle 
tóngyàng de yíjù huà.
有一年,克雷斯被大水困在一个小岛上,
Yǒuyī nián, kè léi sī bèi dà shuǐ kùn zài yígè xiǎo dǎo shàng,


一位少年救了他。
当他向那少年道谢的时候,
yí wèi shàonián jiùle tā. 
Dāng tā xiàng nà shàonián dàoxiè de shíhou,
克雷斯永远忘不了的那句话,
kè léi sī yǒngyuǎn wàng bùliǎo dì nèi jù huà,
竟然被那位少年说了同样的一句话
jìngrán bèi nà wèi shàonián shuōle tóngyàng de yíjù huà
“我不需要回报,但你要答应我。。。”
“wǒ bù xūyào huíbào, dàn nǐ yào dāyìng wǒ...”


他心里涌起了一股暖流。
Tā xīnlǐ yǒng qǐle yì gǔ nuǎnliú.
说来也是,爱心不需要回报,
Shuō lái yěshì, àixīn bù xūyào huíbào,
而爱心是需要传递的。
ér àixīn shì xūyào chuándì de.
如果说,每个人所付出的爱心
都是一颗珍珠的话,
Rúguǒ shuō, měi gèrén suǒ fùchū de àixīn 
dōu shì yì kē zhēnzhū dehuà,


那么,把这些爱心串起来,
nàme, bǎ zhèxiē àixīn chuàn qǐlái,
就可以連成了一条珍贵的爱心项链。
jiù kěyǐ lián chéngle yìtiáo zhēnguì de àixīn xiàngliàn.
