I will never forget the lesson which Mr Smiths gave us. One day, Mr Smiths was speaking to us in our school meeting room. He began his speech by holding up a $100 bill. He asked, "Who wants this $100 bill "?
我永遠不會忘記史密斯先生給我們上的那一課。 一天，他在學校的會議室給我們做了一次演講。他手持一張一百美元的鈔票，開始了他的講話。 他問道；“誰想要這一百美元？”

Most of us put hands up quickly. Then he said," I am going to give this $100 bill to one of you, but at first , let me do something." He crumpled up the $100 bill and said :"Who wants it now ?"We raised our hands again. But he said , " Wait a moment. " He dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. After that, he picked up the dirty bill and said, "Who still wants it ?" Many hands were still up.
絕大部分的學生迅速舉手。接下來，他說：“我會把這一百美元給你們之中的一個人，但是，我先得做點什么?！?他將這張鈔票揉成一團后說道：“現(xiàn)在，誰還想要這100美元？”學生再一次舉手。但是，他又說：“請稍等片刻。”他將鈔票扔在地上并用腳踩它，之后，他拾起這張臟了的鈔票問道：“誰還想要它？”很多人依然舉著手。

“My kids, "he said, "you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the bill, you still wanted it because it did not lose its value. It was still worth $100. "
"我的孩子們，”他說道，“今天，你們上了寶貴的一課。不管我怎么對待這張鈔票，你們依然想著要得到它，這是因為它并沒有失去價值。它仍然是一張價值一百美元的鈔票?！?/div>

We often lose many chances in our lives. He went on speaking, We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember , no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value; you are always precious to those people who love you. Your value doesn't come from what you do or who you know, but WHO YOU ARE.
我們總是與生命中的許多機會失之交臂，他接著說道。我們總覺得自己沒有價值，但是，要牢記，無論發(fā)生什么，我們的價值都不會減少，對于愛你的人們來說，你一直很珍貴，你的價值并不來源于你的作為或是你認識誰，僅僅來源于你自身。

You are special and precious. Don't ever forget it !
你們是珍貴而特殊的存在，永遠牢記心頭。
