童心里的世界：爱是什么？

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." ...Cindy - age 8
8岁的Cindy：“在我的钢琴独奏会上，我站在台上，特别害怕。我看到所有的人都在看着我，这时候我爸爸在朝我挥手，对我微笑。他是唯一一个这么做的人。我就不再害怕了。”

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." ...Clare - age 6
6岁的Clare：“我妈妈比任何人都爱我。再没有别人在睡觉前还亲我的。”

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." ...Elaine - age 5
5岁的Elaine：“爱就是妈妈给了爸爸最好的那块鸡肉。”

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." ...Chris - age 7
7岁的Chris：“爱就是当妈妈看到浑身臭汗的爸爸时，仍旧说他比Robert Redford帅得多。”

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." ...Mary Ann - age 4
4岁的Mary Ann：“爱就是你一整天让小狗狗孤零零之后，他还凑上来舔你的脸。”

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." ...Lauren - age 4
4岁的Lauren：“我知道姐姐是爱我的，因为她把所有的旧衣服都给了我，然后她出去买了新的。”……

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." ...Karen - age 7
7岁的Karen：“当你爱上一个人的时候，你的眼睛会眨来眨去的，里面会冒出许多的小星星。”

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." ...Jessica - age 8
8岁的Jessica：“除非你是真心实意的，否则你不要轻易说‘我爱你’喔。但是如果你真的爱对方，那就经常说出来，人们通常会忘记这一点。”

And the final one: Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest that he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a 4-year-old child whose next door neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap and just sat there.
最后一个：作家兼讲师Leo Buscaglia说起了一次做比赛评委的经历。比赛是为了找到最有同情心的孩子，冠军是一个4岁的小朋友，他的邻居是一个老人家，最近刚刚失去他的爱人。看到老爷爷在哭，小男孩儿就会走进他的院子里，爬到他的膝盖上坐着。

When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
当小男孩儿的妈妈问他对邻居说了什么的时候，小男孩说，“我什么也没说，我就是帮他一起哭。”
