你应该欣然接受眼前人，身边事

今晚

on my flight from Indianapolis to Baltimore

在我乘飞机回巴尔的摩的途中

I sat next to an unaccompanied minor

我坐在一个不认识的小女孩旁边

who was traveling to Baltimore to see her Mother.

她乘飞机去巴尔的摩看妈妈

With Southwest Airlines open seating

西南航空的班机上，乘客可以随意选座

anyone could have sat next to her,

任何人都可能坐在她旁边

in fact many people avoided her

事实上，很多人避开了她

and her boundless energy during boarding.

因为登机的时候，她就展现出了无穷无尽的活力

But finally,

不过，最后

a couple occupied the two seats to her right.

一对情侣选择了小女孩右边的座位

Within minutes the young girl began chatting

不到几分钟，小女孩就开始跟他们交谈

and the couple likely realized this wouldn’t be a relaxing flight

这对情侣也似乎意识到，这大概不会是一趟安宁的旅行...

and they just rolled with it.

他们选择跟女孩一起玩乐

As drinks were being served

饮料送了上来

the couple didn’t even get a chance to voice their requests

这对情侣还没机会说出自己想要喝的

because they were cut off by the young girl stating,

因为女孩已经义正言辞的开口，打断了他们两的话头

‘I’ll take water with a straw

我要清水，加一根吸管

and so will they

他们一样

so we can paint!’.

这样我们就能画画了

And they just rolled with it.

这对情侣欣然接受

Within minutes

不到几分钟的时间

the young girl had brought out her Hello Kitty paint sheets

小女孩拿出了自己的彩绘板

and the couple spent the next hour following her instructions

接下来的一个小时里，这对情侣都按照小女孩的指示毕恭毕敬的作画

As I type this

当我写着这篇文章的时候

the man next to her is being covered with Marvel stickers.

坐在小女孩身边的大哥哥满脸贴满了贴纸

They are on his ears, in his beard, arms, everywhere.

他的两只耳朵，大胡子，还有胳膊上随处可见贴纸

And he is just rolling with it.

他却欣然接受

Moral of the story:

这个故事告诉我们

There is good in this world.

世界上总有善良的人

In fact, there is more good than bad in this world

事实上，世界上的好人比坏人多

if we just open our eyes to it.

睁开眼睛，你就会看到

There isn’t a script or instruction manual for love.

爱没有剧本，也没有操作说明书

You just have to roll with it.

你应该欣然接受眼前人，身边事
