冰冷的手(Cold hands)

　　i was cleaning out the pockets of my six-year-old's winter coat, when i found a pair of mittens in each pocket. thinking that one pair must not be enough to keep her hands warm. i asked her why she was carrying two pairs of mittens in her coat. she replied, "i've been doing this for a long time, mom. you see, some kids come to school without mittens and if i carry another pair, i can share with them and then their hands won't get cold."

　　在掏空我那六岁小女儿外套口袋时，我发现口袋里各有一双手套。我以为一定是一双手套不够温暖她的双手了，于是问她为什么在外套里放两双手套。她回答说：“我这样做了很久了，妈妈，你想想，有些小朋友没有带手套就来上学了，如果我多带一双，我就可以给他们用，那么他们的手就不会冻着了。”
