002、A Brother's Love 姊弟之愛
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I became acquainted with a little girl named Liz, who was suffering from a rare disease.
多年前，當我在斯坦福醫院當志工時，我結識了一個叫莉芝的小女孩，她罹患一種罕見的疾病。
Her only chance of recovery seemed to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year-old brother.
她唯一痊癒的機會似乎是來自她五歲的小弟弟的輸血。
He had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to fight the illness.
他患相同的疾病卻奇蹟般地存活下來，且已經有對抗疾病所需要的抗體。
The doctor explained the situation to her little brother and asked him if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
醫生對她的小弟弟解釋有關情況，問他是否願意捐他的血給他的姊姊。
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save Liz."
只見他猶豫僅一瞬間，之後他深吸一口氣，說道：「是的，如果這樣可以救治莉芝，我會做的。」
As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks.
輸血進行期間，他躺在他的姐姐旁邊的床上，微笑著，大家也都一樣，看著她的臉頰恢復了氣色。
Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.
隨後，他的臉變得蒼白，他的笑容消失了。
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"
他抬頭看著醫生，並用顫抖的聲音問道：「請問我馬上就要死亡了嗎？」
The young boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood.
小男孩誤解了醫生的意思了，他以為他將必須給他姊姊他所有的血。
That's true love.
這是真正的愛。
