About four years ago, on a summer evening, I was doing some laps at the pool at my apartment complex. I was taking a short 5 min break, when I noticed a 3-3 1/2 year old girl standing on the other side of the pool fence holding onto the railing and looking at me intently. Her mother was standing nearby but talking to someone else facing the other side.

那是大约四年前的一个夏夜，我在小区的泳池里来回游泳。中途短暂休息五分钟时，我注意到泳池围栏那边站着一个小女孩，大约三岁到三岁半的样子，正扒在栏杆上目不转睛地盯着我。她妈妈站在一边，背对着我跟人说话。

She looked like an enthusiastic and cute little kid, so I said "hello how are you ?". She replied "Good".

她看上去是个热情可爱的小家伙，所以我说：“嘿，你好吗？”她回答说“好”。

Sometimes when I'm in the pool, I go under water and try to hold my breath for may be 20 secs and come up. I did that once and came back up and she was still looking at me, smiling. I asked her "Whats your name?". She said "Shreya. What is your name?". I replied "I'm Sam". I went under water again and came back up and she was laughing loudly. I looked at her and she told me "You are so funny Sam". And then it clicked to me, me going in and out of the water made her think, I was entertaining her. Anyway, I did a couple more of those just to amuse her and then her mother was done with her chit-chat and they started walking towards their apartment which happened to be one of the units facing the pool. I just waved her good-bye.

游泳时，有时我会潜入水中憋上二十秒左右再浮出水面。当时我憋了一下气，浮出水面的时候发现她还在看着我，面露微笑。我问她：“你叫什么名字？”她说：“施瑞娅。你呢？”“萨姆。”我答道，然后又一次潜下水再钻出来，她大笑了起来。我看着她，她说道：“你真好玩，萨姆。”我一下明白过来，我这么入水出水，让她以为我在逗她玩呢。总之，我还是又潜了一两次，就为了逗她开心。后来她妈妈聊完天，和她一起朝公寓方向走去，她家恰好在正对游泳池的一个单元里。我仅仅是挥了挥手，跟她告别。

Over the next 2-3 months, I was going to the pool at least 3-4 days a week. Occasionally, I'd see her playing in the patio of her house or getting ready to go to the park nearby with her mom. If she was on her way (with her mom), to the park or something, she'd tell her mom, "Mommy wait. I'll talk to Sam and then come" and then standing on the other side of the pool fence, she d say things like "Sam, I had this cake today. Im going to the park with mom now. I'll talk to you later" and be on her way. Sometimes she d scream from her patio.

在接下来的两、三个月里，我每周至少有三、四天会去游泳。偶尔我会看到她在家里的露台上玩，或者穿戴整齐准备跟妈妈去附近的公园。如果和妈妈去公园或别的什么地方的时候看到我，她就会跟她妈妈说：“妈妈，等一下，我和萨姆打个招呼就过来。”然后她会站在游泳池栏杆那边跟我说上几句，比如，“萨姆，我今天吃了这种蛋糕。我现在要跟妈妈去公园。我过会儿再跟你说话”之类的，然后再去要去的地方。有时她还会从露台上跟我喊话。

The usual conversations were something like this:

我们之间的对话通常是这样的：

Her: "Sam. Daddy got me a purple laptop."
Me: "Hey thats cool. I'm going to get a pink laptop for myself."

她：“萨姆，爸爸给我买了台紫色的电脑。”
我：“好棒啊，我要给自己买台粉色的。”

or

或者：

Her: "Im going to dance classes from tomorrow."
Me : "Wow. can you teach me to dance? I'll teach you swimming."
Her: " But I know swimming."

她：“明天开始我就要去上舞蹈课了。”
我：“哇！你能教我跳舞吗？我可以教你游泳。”
她：“可是我会游泳啊。”

Things like that. All this while, I had never been physically near her. The closest chat we have had would have been at a distance of 15 feet, mostly because I was in the pool.

就是这样的对话。在这期间，我从没和她近距离接触过，我们之间距离最近的谈话也隔了十五英尺（4.5米）远，主要因为我一直都在游泳池里。

One day, after finishing my laps, I took a shower and wanted to check the mailbox before going home. The little girl and her mom came to the mailbox area from the park at the exact same time. She was looking somewhere else and talking some random stuff to her mom. Her mom saw me, smiled at me and said to her daughter,"Look, who is here!!". The little girl was literally shocked to see me so close (may be 5ft), she froze with her mouth open for a couple seconds. And then she came running towards me and tightly hugged my right leg. She was so small, her head was at my knee. I gently patted her on the back and rubbed her hair.

有一天游完泳后，我冲了个澡，打算在回家前拐去看下信箱。小女孩儿和她妈妈从公园回来，正好经过那边。她扭头在看别的地方，一边还跟她妈妈搭着话。她妈妈看到了我，对我笑了笑，并对她女儿说：“快看，谁在这儿！”这么近的看到我——大概五英尺（1.5米）吧，小女孩着实吃了一惊。有一、两秒的时间她张着嘴愣在那儿，然后跑过来紧紧抱住我的右腿。她个头那么小，脑袋才到我的膝盖。我轻轻拍了拍她的背，揉了揉她的头发。

And then she looked up at me (stilling hugging my legs) and said:
"Sam, I like you very much."

然后她抬头看着我（依然抱着我的腿），说：
“萨姆，我很喜欢你！”

The most innocent and sincere "I like you" I have ever heard. It was overwhelming. I didn't show it out, but it was a deeply emotional moment for me.

这可是我听过的最天真、最真挚的一句“我喜欢你”，令我无法抗拒。当时我没表现出来，但对我来说，那就是令我深深动情的一个时刻。
