勇气，来自爱与关怀（双语）

In 1943, I was 19 years old and worked at a barbecue located about a mile from my home.

1943年(时值第二次世界大战)，当时我只有19岁，在离家一英里的烧烤店工作。

It was a beautiful, warm June night, so I decided to walk home from work rather than take a bus.

那是一个美好温暖的六月夜晚，于是我决定不坐公交车而是步行回家。

As I walked up the back porch steps, I heard a male voice: “Kiss me, or I’ll scream.”

当我正准备走上屋后门廊的台阶，听到一个男性的声音：“亲吻我，不然我就尖叫。”

After my initial shock, I turned around to see a young soldier in an Army uniform.

一开始我感到非常害怕，等我转过头我看到一名身着军装的年轻士兵。

I kissed him softly on the cheek.

我在他的脸颊上轻轻地吻了一下。

He smiled.

他微笑了。

“Thank you,” he said, and walked off into the night.

然后他说：“谢谢你。”接着就走入了夜幕之中。
