参考译文

去年，我从报纸上得知，一些患病的小孩需要帮助。我给报社打了电话，他们让我帮助一个叫做丽莎的小女孩，她患有精神疾病。

不久，我去看望丽莎。因为在精神病院已经接受了数年的治疗，最近她获准待在家里。一开始，大多是我在说话，丽莎因性格过于文静内向，只是害羞地坐在沙发一角听我说。她小心避免我们之间的目光相遇。经过一段时间后，我再出现时，丽莎已经逐渐变得自然了。我们每周聚会一次，活动内容通常是共享一杯热咖啡，去街上逛逛但不买东西，或是到乡村散步。丽莎从未跟我谈起她对我们之间交往的看法，甚至在我们接触整整一年之后。然而，她知道她总能依赖我。

后来有一天，我接到了志愿者组织打来的电话。“玛丽，你和丽莎愿意到当地电视台的新闻节目接受采访吗？”我很兴奋，于是回答说：“太好了！让我和丽莎商量商量。”我觉得丽莎不会坦然接受现场采访。但没想到的是，丽莎表示同意。

接受采访时她说：“如果我能帮助别人了解友谊对我有多重要，它又是怎样帮助我的，或许别人也会做志愿者。玛丽，那不是很好吗？”我们相视而笑，眼泪流了下来。
