英语故事:我的小天使 My Little Angel

As she looked up at me with fearful eyes, lips trembling, I heard every voice that had been shouted to me as a child. "How could you...You should know better than that...How many times have you been told...What a bad thing to do..." It was just a matter of my picking out which old message I was going to use on her so that she would know what a bad girl she had been. But before I could let loose（释放，屈服）, I looked down at the sweatshirt my wife had put on her only an hour before. In big letters it said, "I'M A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL!" I looked back up into her tearful eyes and instead of seeing a bad girl who didn't listen, I saw a child of God...a perfect little angel full of worth, value and a wonderful spontaneity（自发性） that I had come dangerously close to shaming out of her.
当她用惊慌的眼神抬头看着我时，她的嘴唇在颤抖，我听见了那些应对小孩说的话“你怎么能……你应该知道……告诉你多少次了……你做了见多糟糕的事……”现在只需要选句常说的老话来警告她，以便让她知道自己有多坏。但是在我说这些话之前，我低头看见了妻子一个小时前让她穿上的运动衫，上面用很大的字母写着“我是个完美的小天使”，我回头看见了她眼中的泪水，这次我看到的不是一个坏女孩，而是上帝的女儿……一个有价值，很自主的完美小天使，我险些让她蒙羞而使她丧失这些品质。

"Sweetheart, you look beautiful! Let's take a picture so Mommy can see how special you look." I took the picture and thanked God that I didn't miss the opportunity to reaffirm what a perfect little angel he had given me.
“宝贝，你看起来漂亮极了，我们拍张照让妈妈来看看你看起来有多特别”，我给她拍了照片，感谢上帝，我没有错失赞美小天使的机会,她是上帝赐予我的。
