Love Is Everything 有愛就有了一切
The winter cold hung in the air like a frozen dinosaur trying to thaw from his glacier and walk across the earth. Breath iced like a tiny morning mist upon a meandering river. The sounds of the city rising and spilling into silence as the night began to claim its citizens for sleep.
冬天的寒冷在空氣中糾纏不去，就象被冰凍的恐龍想要從冰河里解凍出來走到地上一樣。呵氣就象蜿蜒的河面上微薄的晨霧，城市的喧囂升起又歸于沉靜，夜晚開始宣布它的臣民應(yīng)該入睡了。
Blowing on gloved hands that seemed to have little effect on cold hands that ached with chill. Long hours hanging pressed clothes, pulling tickets and ringing up the customers. The last of the packaged hot chocolate gone and only the longing need for home and a pot pie to warm her.
往帶著手套的手上呵氣好像也沒有什么效果，凍僵的手冷得發(fā)痛。工作的那幾個(gè)小時(shí)很漫長，熨平的衣服要掛起來，標(biāo)簽要拆下來，還要給顧客打電話。最后一個(gè)盒裝的熱巧克力喝完了，只渴望著回家，吃一塊熱餡餅來暖和一下。
It was payday and she cashed her check. Two Santas and one Salvation Army captain and she was minus ten dollars but what did it matter? She had a place to sleep, something decent to eat, and she had Drew.
今天是發(fā)薪日，她把支票兌換成了現(xiàn)金。路遇兩個(gè)圣誕老人和一個(gè)救世軍領(lǐng)隊(duì)，她的錢減少了十元，但這又怎樣呢?她有地方睡覺，有像樣的東西吃，而且她還有德魯。
Drew with his kindness, his caring and his humor to lighten her day. Thanksgiving was nigh and they were collecting early for the hungry and the children that would have no Christmas without them. She was so much more lucky than most of them but perhaps not as lucky as those that scurried in the Wednesday night sleet, shopping early before the pickings became slim. Life was not always easy but sometimes it could always be safe.
德魯?shù)挠H切、愛心和幽默總能照亮她的每一天。感恩節(jié)近了，他們早早地開始為那些饑餓的人籌款，孩子們過圣誕節(jié)也少不了他們。她要比這些人幸運(yùn)得多，當(dāng)然可能比不上那些在周三雪夜趕著去購物的人，他們要早早把東西買好以免貨物變少而無法挑選。生活并不總是很容易，但總是很安全。
She had Drew, and Smat, the ugly little terrier that nobody wanted. She had comfort and warmth in the apartment. She had dinner for tomorrow thawing in the small turkey and the little Thanksgiving bonus from her boss.
她有德魯，還有那條丑得沒人要的小獵狗斯邁特;她有公寓里的舒適和溫暖;她有明天的晚餐(小火雞正在解凍著呢);她還有老板給的一小筆感恩節(jié)獎(jiǎng)獎(jiǎng)金。
