小小的胜利

字幕原文

After the accident, Hugh lost his leg, 那场事故之后，休失去了一条腿，

and with it, every dream he had. 随之而去的，还有他所有的梦想。

"I'll never be a soldier now," he sobbed. “我再也当不成兵了，”他抽泣着说。

"I'll never sail around the world." “我再也没法环游世界了。”

Everyone kept trying to cheer him up. 大家一直在努力安慰他。

"You'll hardly notice it," they said. “你慢慢就感觉不到有什么不同了，”他们说，

"It won't make much difference." “对生活影响不大的。”

And every time, he felt more alone. 可每次听到这些，他反而觉得更加孤独。

His mother was different. 他的母亲却不一样。

When he asked her what he'd never be able to do, 当他问母亲自己以后究竟做不了什么时，

she told him the truth. 她对他说了实话。

"You'll never play cricket. “你再也打不了板球了，

You'll never dance at your sister's parties. 再也不能在你姐姐的舞会上跳舞了。

And there will be small, painful moments every day, 而且每一天，你都会经历一些细小而痛苦的时刻，

watching other boys run and jump." 比如看着别的男孩子欢快地跑跑跳跳。”

His sister looked horrified. 他姐姐听得一脸震惊。

But Hugh sat up, brightening for the first time in weeks. 休却坐直了身子，几周以来头一次眼中有了光彩。

"Go on," he said. “继续说，”他说，

"You know what it's really like. “你才知道这到底是什么滋味，

Everyone else pretends." 其他人全都在装。”

Then his mother told him something else. 接着，母亲又告诉了他另一番话。

Each time one of those little moments came, 她说，每当遇到那种难熬的小瞬间，

and he met it with patience instead of bitterness, 只要他能用耐心而不是怨恨去面对，

that would be a victory. 那就算是一场胜利。

A small one, invisible to everybody else, but his own. 一场虽微小、无人知晓，却真真切切属于他自己的胜利。

And those small victories, one after another, 而这一场又一场微小的胜利，

would add up to a life he could be proud of. 终将汇聚成一段足以让他自豪的人生。

Pretending pain isn't there doesn't make it any smaller. 假装痛苦不存在，痛苦并不会减少分毫。

Facing it honestly, one moment at a time, is what finally does. 唯有坦然地面对它，一步一步熬过去，伤痛才会真正消散。
