Day 28 1℃ Love
In a cold winter，a couple had to move out from the luxury villa
because of bankruptcy．The husband worked day and night to support
the family but with no care of his wife．So she thought，“He doesn't
love me any more，he just cares his business…not me．”
One day ， she began to take a bath ． He stopped her at the
door，“Let me take it first，okey？”
“Why not let me shower first？”she asked．
“I was tired，sweetie，you take it later，okey？”She was totally
depressed．
On a morose day ， she found nothing to do and turned on his
computer，a few words blurred her eyes…it was his diary：
Today，I was quite sad，she asked me why I was always taking the
bath first，and I said to her，I was exhausted．She was unhappy；in
her mind，I treated her not as well as usual，but what can I do？I was
not as rich as before！We moved to the small apartment．There was only
a shower in the bathroom．It was so cold to take a shower in such a
freezing winter．But I found that if one person took the shower first，the
room could get a little warm，so every time I rushed to the bathroomfirst．I was thinking that，when she took the shower，the room would
get warmer，at least 1℃，2℃ or 3℃．
…
Now I can't give her comfortable life ， bring her to the luxury
restaurant，buy expensive dresses for her，but at least，I can give her
1℃ love．

1℃的爱情
一个寒冷的冬天，一对夫妇因为破产，所以不得不从豪宅里搬
出。丈夫每天辛勤工作以维持家庭开支，但很少顾及妻子。于是，
妻子暗自想道：“他不再爱我了，他只在乎他的事业，而不是
我。”
一天，妻子准备洗澡，可丈夫叫住了她，“让我先洗吧。”“为
什么不让我先洗呢？”“亲爱的，因为我很累，你之后再洗吧。”
妻子为此很沮丧。
一天，妻子无所事事，郁郁寡欢，于是打开了丈夫的电脑。上面
的几行字让她的眼睛湿润了，那是他的日记：
今天，我挺难过，因为她问我为什么总是我先洗澡，而我对她
说，因为我太累了，想先洗。她肯定不高兴了，觉得我对她不像以
前那么好了。但是我该怎么做呢？我不像以前那么有钱呀！我们搬
到了一个小公寓，只有一个洗澡间，在这样的冬天洗澡真是冻死人
了。但我发现，如果一个人先洗的话，浴室就会暖和一点儿，所以
每次我都第一个冲进浴室。我想，等她进去浴室时，至少暖和一两
度吧。
现在，我不能给她舒适的生活，带她去高级餐厅，给她买漂亮的衣服，但至少我还能给她1℃的爱情。Day 29 Mom's Hands
Night after night，she came to tuck me in ，even long after my
childhood years．Following her longstanding custom，she'd lean down
and push my long hair out of the way，then kiss my forehead．
I don't remember when it first started annoying me—her hands
pushing my hair that way．But it did annoy me，for they felt work-
worn and rough against my young skin．Finally，one night，I shouted
at her，“Don't do that anymore—your hands are too rough！”She
didn't say anything in reply．But never again did my mother close out
my day with that familiar expression of her love．
Time after time，with the passing years，my thoughts returned to
that night．By then I missed my mother's hands，missed her goodnight
kiss on my forehead ． Sometimes the incident seemed very close ，
sometimes far away．But always it lurked ，in the back of my mind．
Well，the years have passed，and I'm not a little girl anymore．
Mom is in her mid-seventies，and those hands I once thought to be so
rough are still doing things for me and my family ． She's been our
doctor，reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young
girl's stomach or soothe the boy's scraped knee．She cooks the best
fried chicken in the world…gets stains out of blue jeans like I never
could…
Now，my own children are grown and gone．Mom no longer hasDad，and on special occasions，I find myself drawn next door to spend
the night with her．So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve，as I slept in the
bedroom of my youth，a familiar hand hesitantly run across my face to
brush the hair from my forehead．Then a kiss，ever so gently，touched
my brow．
In my memory，for the thousandth time，I recalled the night my
young voice complained，“Don't do that anymore—your hands are too
rough！”Catching Mom's hand in hand，I blurted out how sorry I was
for that night．I thought she'd remember，as I did．But Mom didn't
know what I was talking about．She had forgotten—and forgiven—long
ago．
That night ， I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle
mother and her caring hands．And the guilt that I had carried around for
so long was nowhere to be found．
Words and Expressions
tuck me in为我掖好被子（使我安睡）
longstanding adj． 长时间的；长期存在的
work-worn adj． 由于工作而破旧的
lurk vi． 潜伏，埋伏，潜
cabinet n． 橱，陈列柜
soothe vt． 安慰，抚慰；减轻痛苦
scrape v． 擦伤stain n． 污点

母亲的手
母亲总是在我入睡之后，为我掖好被子，然后俯下身子，轻轻拨
开覆在我脸上的长发，亲吻我的前额。日复一日，母亲一直保持着
这个习惯，即使我已不再是小孩子了，这一切却依然故我。
不知从什么时候开始，母亲的这种习惯渐渐让我感到不悦——我
不喜欢她那双布满老茧的手就这样划过我细嫩的皮肤。终于，在一
个夜晚，我忍不住冲她吼了起来：“你不要再这样了，你的手好粗
糙！”母亲无言以对。但从此却再没有用这种我熟悉的表达爱的方
式来为我的一天画上句号。
日子一天天过去，随着时间的流逝，我却总是不由得想起那一
夜。我开始想念母亲的那双手，想念她印在我前额上的“晚安”。
这种渴望忽远忽近，但始终潜藏在我心灵深处的某个角落。
若干年后，我成熟了，已不再是个小女孩了。母亲也已到了古稀
之年，可她却始终没有停止过操劳，用她那双曾经被我视为“粗
糙”的手为我和我的家庭做着力所能及的事情。她是我们的家庭医
生，小姑娘胃痛时，她会从药箱里找出胃药来，小男孩擦伤了膝盖
时，她会去安抚他的伤痛。她能做出世界上最好吃的炸鸡，能把蓝
色牛仔裤上的污渍除去得毫无痕迹……现在，我自己的孩子也已长大，有了自己的生活，母亲却没有了
父亲的陪伴。有一次，恰好是感恩节前夜，我决定就睡在母亲旁边
的卧室里，陪她度过这一夜。这是我儿时的卧室，一切都是那么的
熟悉，还有一只熟悉的手犹豫着从我的脸上掠过，梳理着我前额的
头发，然后，一个吻，带着一如往日的温柔，轻轻落在了我的额
头。
在我的记忆里，曾几千次再现那晚的情景和我那稚嫩的抱怨声：
“你不要再这样了，你的手好粗糙！”我一把抓住母亲的手，一股
脑说出我对那一晚深深的愧疚。我想，她一定和我一样，对那晚的
事历历在目。然而，母亲却不知我在说些什么——她早忘了，早已
原谅我了。
那天晚上，我带着对母亲新的感激安然入睡，我感激她的温柔，
和她那呵护的双手。多年来压在我心头的负罪感也随之烟消云散。
Day 30 Love Is a Two-way Street
A father sat at his desk poring over his monthly bills when his young
son rushed in and announced，“Dad，because this is your birthday and
you're 55 years old，I'm going to give you 55 kisses，one for each
year！”When the boy started making good on his word ，the father
exclaimed ，“Oh，Andrew，don't do it now；I'm too busy！”
The youngster immediately fell silent as tears welled up in his big
blue eyes．Apologetically the father said，“You can finish later．”The boy said nothing but quietly walked away ， disappointment
written over his face．That evening the father said，“Come and finish
the kisses now，Andrew！”But the boy didn't respond．
Unfortunately，a few days later after this incident，the boy had an
accident and was drowned．His heartbroken father wrote…
“If only I could tell him how much I regret my thoughtless words，
and could be assured that he knows how much my heart is aching． ”
…Love is a two-way street ． Any loving act must be warmly
accepted or it will be taken as rejection and can leave a scar ．If we are
too busy to give and receive love，we are too busy！Nothing is more
important than responding with love to the cry for love from those who
are near and precious to us，because…there may be no chance at all as
in the case of the little boy…

参考译文爱，是一条双行道
父亲坐在办公桌旁，正盯着那些堆积了一个月来的账单，这时，
他的小儿子冲了过来，大声宣布：“爸爸，因为今天是你五十五岁
的生日，我想给你五十五个吻，一年一个！”当男孩正要兑现诺言
时，他爸爸大声说道：“哦，安德鲁，现在不行，我太忙了！”
小男孩马上不吭声了，蓝色的大眼睛里涌满了泪水。父亲深表歉
意地说：“过会有空再亲吧。”
男孩什么也没说，只是静静地走开了，失望的表情溢于言表。那
天晚上，父亲说：“来吧安德鲁，现在可以亲了！”但是，孩子却
没有做出回应。
不幸的是，这件事刚过去几天之后，小男孩就不幸溺水身亡。伤
心欲绝的爸爸写道：“如果我早告诉他，对于那些无心的话我是多
么后悔，他一定会明白我的心有多么痛。”
……爱，是一条双行道。对于爱的表示一定要热心地接受，否则
对方会以为你拒绝了，从而留下一道伤痕。如果我们忙得连给予和
接受爱的时间都没有，那未免也忙得太过分了！对于那些在我们身
边，对我们弥足珍贵的人，用爱去回应他们爱的渴望，这再重要不
过了！因为……如果发生像小男孩这样的情况，即使后悔也没有机
会了。
