一个女孩的第二次生命

　约翰医生是一名儿科医生，在他24年的职业生涯中他治愈了数千名孩子。我们今天要讲的故事，是关于一个身患肝脏疾病的女孩，十年前约翰医生就开始为她治疗……

On Fridays we bring you interviews between family and friends at StoryCorp. The Traveling Oral History Project lets participants guide their own conversations. Few need notes or outlines. Today, a father tells his daughter a story that has stayed with him for ten years.

John Bancroft has been a pediatrician for 24 years. In that time, he's treated thousands of children. One stands out. And he recently talked about her with his daughter Carolyn.

A little girl had come to the hospital with, ah, the sudden onset of liver failure. She was sitting on her mother's lap at a high school football game when her mother noticed that her eyes were yellow and she was acting a little tired. By the time we brought her into the hospital, it's pretty clear that her liver was failing and was not likely to recover and we began very quickly the process of listing her for possible transplant. Seven, eight, nine days went by and there wasn't a donor available. On the tenth day when we thought we had a lead on the donor, she had a sudden worsening. And even as we were trying to make the decision whether we could go ahead with the transplant, her brain function changed to the point where it's clear we couldn't. There was little chance that she was going to recover. So after working with that family every day for ten days, just taking each, really each hour as it came, I'd to talk with them about the fact that we couldn't go ahead. And as we gathered around her bed, her parents spontaneously turned to us and said, was there any chance that her organs could help another? And as it turned out, they could. And they wound up donating, her kidneys, her pancreas, her corneas. And later, I saw a photo of all the recipients. And it was one of the most moving photos I've ever seen. Here was a family that was desperately waiting for a transplant. And they wound up turning around and giving at a time when no one would have expected it, and wound up touching a number of individuals and really giving them a new chance at life. That's one of my more memorable days and I don't think I had much to do with it.

I always wonder how you moved through all of these patients and these success stories and then the losses. Somehow, there seems to be a hope.

Yeah, I think there is. Children have such a resilience and bounce back and heal in ways that always amaze me. And it certainly does hurt when children don't heal or when they die. I hope those never stop hurting but to have one of them turn around and give you a hug around the leg or just smile can really change a day.

My Happy Ending

绝不平凡!这对Avril Lavigne而言已经算是温和的形容词了.她是一个庞克女子,一个爆发力十足的灵魂,一个狂野不羁的女孩.她是那种大约两岁左右,就能够以声音引起人们激赏的怪胎.她是那种没办法乖乖坐在课堂上,但是却充满了自信和决心,并且一个人跑到纽约和洛杉矶去磨练创作技巧的小镇女孩.她是那种完全靠着自己的力量,为了成功不计代价,思想前卫的十七岁叛逆青年."我才刚出道,我要清楚地做自己,我写出自己的感受,从不在乎其他人怎么想,"Avril坦诚."我要穿出本色,做出本色,唱出本色."

My Happy Ending-Avril Lavigne(艾薇尔.拉维妮)
我的快乐结局

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

噢...

Let's talk this over
我们好好谈谈吧
It's not like we're dead
我们不要再装死了
Was it something I did?
是我做了什么
Was it something You said?

Don't leave me hanging
别把我丢在这里
In a city so dead
在这死寂的城市之中
Held up so high
将我紧紧的套牢
On such a breakable thread
这一条岌岌可危的细线

You were all the things I thought I knew
我曾经以为 我非常了解你
And I thought we could be
而且我们可以一直这样下去

[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
曾经 你是我梦寐以求的一切，一切
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
我们被希望成为，可能成为，但我们失去了
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
所有的记忆，曾与我很近，都变得模糊
All this time you were pretending
你总是在装假
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
只为给我一个快乐结局
噢...

You've got your dumb friends
你有你愚蠢的朋友们
I know what they say
我知道他们会怎么说
They tell you I'm difficult

But so are they
但其实他们也是差不多

But they don't know me
但是他们一点也不了解我
Do they even know you?
他们又真的了解你吗
All the things you hide from me
你在我面前隐藏你自己
All the * that you do
以及你做过的那些愚蠢的事

You were all the things I thought I knew
我曾经以为 我非常了解你
And I thought we could be
以为 我们可以一直这样下去

[Chorus]

It's nice to know that you were there
很高兴知道你曾经在我身边
Thanks for acting like you cared
谢谢你 假装真的很在乎我
And making me feel like I was the only one
让我傻傻觉得 我是你的唯一

It's nice to know we had it all

Thanks for watching as I fall

And letting me know we were done

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
