繪◎ 那仁

The entire crowd stopped dead silent.

I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain.

We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes.

The mother paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.

But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life.

A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.

"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain.If God let us get wet, well maybe we just need washing."

The mother said. Then off they ran.

We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted①past the cars and yes, through the puddles.

They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case.

They got soaked②.

But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.

And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.

Circumstances③or people can take away your material possessions④, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health.

But no one can ever take away your precious memories.

So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day!

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.

I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

人群一片寂靜。

我發(fā)誓，除了雨聲，你什么都聽不到。

我們都靜靜地站著。接下來(lái)的幾分鐘沒(méi)有一個(gè)人走動(dòng)。

那位母親停了一下，想著應(yīng)該說(shuō)些什么。

但這卻是一個(gè)小孩子一生中需要被肯定的時(shí)候。

若受到鼓舞，此時(shí)孩子單純的信任就會(huì)發(fā)展成為堅(jiān)定的信念。

“親愛(ài)的，你說(shuō)得對(duì)，我們跑過(guò)去吧。如果淋濕了，那也許是因?yàn)槲覀兊拇_需要沖洗一下了。”

母親這樣說(shuō)道。然后她們就沖出去了。

我們站在那里，笑著看她們飛快地跑過(guò)停著的汽車。

她們把購(gòu)物袋高舉過(guò)頭想擋擋雨。

她們濕透了。

但好幾個(gè)人像孩子般尖叫著，大笑著，也跟著沖了出去，奔向自己的車子。

當(dāng)然，我也這樣做了，跑了出去，淋濕了。我也需要接受洗禮。

環(huán)境或其他人可以?shī)Z去你的物質(zhì)財(cái)富，搶走你的金錢，帶走你的健康。

但沒(méi)有人可以帶走你珍貴的回憶。

因此，記得要抓緊時(shí)間，抓住機(jī)會(huì)每天都給自己留下一些回憶吧！

世間萬(wàn)物皆有自己的季節(jié)，做任何事情也有一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)機(jī)。

我希望你有機(jī)會(huì)在雨中狂奔一回。
