A long time ago I worked as a volunteer at a hospital.
很久以前,我曾在一家医院做志愿者.
There was a little girl, who suffered from a serious disease.
那时有一个小女孩,患有一种严重的疾病.
The only chance for her recovery was a blood transfusion from her five-year-old brother,
since he had experienced the same disease and had miraculously recovered.
她康复的唯一机会是接受来自她五岁弟弟的输血,因为弟弟曾经也得过这种病,并且奇迹般地康复了.
Thus he had the needed antibodies to struggle with this illness.
因此,他体内有了对抗这种疾病所需的抗体.
So the doctor told about the situation to the boy and asked him,
if he is willing to give his blood to his sister.
医生把情况告诉了那个小男孩,并问他是否愿意把自己的血液献给姐姐.
He hesitated only for a moment,
then the little boy took a deep breath and said:
"Yes, I will do this, if it will save her life."
他只犹豫了一会儿,然后深吸一口气说:
是的,我愿意,如果这能救她的命.
During the transmission his sister was lying in bed next to him.
在输血过程中,他的姐姐躺在他旁边的床上.
The boy looked at her and smiled, but gradually his face became pale and his smile faded.
小男孩看着她,微笑着,但渐渐地他的脸色变得苍白,笑容也消失了.
He asked the doctor with a trembling voice:
"Will I start to die right now?"
他用颤抖的声音问医生:我现在就会开始死去吗?
The little boy thought that he would have to give all his blood to save the life of his beloved sister.
小男孩以为他必须献出所有的血液来拯救他心爱的姐姐.
