曾有一双手救了我的命

Here's a story I collected from a total stranger.
这个故事是我从一个完全陌生的女士那儿听来的。
"Well， I was 11 when my family arrived at Fern lake overlook on Trail Ridge road in Rocky mountain national park.
“事情是这样的。当时我才11岁，和家人一起搬到了费恩湖畔的一所房子居住，在那里我们可以俯瞰落基山公家公园，还有纵贯山脊的径山脊公路。
 
It was so beautiful to look miles across the Rockies and thousands of feet below into the valley.
站在高处眺望连绵不绝的落基山脉，俯瞰数千英尺之下的小村庄，风景优美极了。
My parents were busy getting lunch out of the trunk so I climbed over the wooden fence to get closer to the cliff edge for a better view.
我的父母都忙着从搬家卡车里搬运食材，操持午饭。我一个人翻过木头栅栏，向山崖走去，想一睹更好的景致。
I started down a little hill but soon started sliding on loose pebble rocks.
我从一个小山坡上往下走，山坡上遍布滑溜溜的鹅卵石，我很快开始不由自主的往下滑。
I fell on my butt, but kept going faster and faster to what seemed the edge of the world (a 2,000 foot drop).
我一屁股跌坐到地上，下滑的速度越来越快，眼前似乎就是世界尽头（其实那是一个海拔2000英尺的悬崖）
In seconds I knew I was going to die.
我知道自己几秒钟之内就要死掉了。
My feet and legs went first over the edge at a high speed.
我的脚好双腿已经飞速跃过了悬崖。
Then suddenly I felt two hands push hard on my chest and stopped me dead.
突然，我感到两只手紧紧的箍住了我的胸口，我猛地停了下来。
My heart was racing and I slowly inched my body back to where I finally could make it back up the hill.
我的心脏狂跳不止，我一点一点的往回挪，直到我可以翻身站起，走回山坡上。
My father was waiting there and screaming at me for doing such a dangerous stunt .
我的父亲正在家门口等我，得知我的惊险经历，狠狠教训了我一顿。
I tried to tell him and my mom about the hands that saved my life, but to this day they don't believe me.
我告诉父亲和母亲，有一双陌生的手救了我的命，尽管费尽唇舌，可是直到今天，他们都不相信这是真的。
They thought I was just trying to get out of trouble with a made up story.
他们认为我只是编造了一个故事，好逃脱他们的教训。
We parted ways, but I assured her that I believed every word of her story.
陌生的女士说完她的故事，我们很快就分道扬镳了，临别前我告诉她，我对她的故事深信不疑。
That's why I always ask people to share their miracles.
这就是为什么，我经常请人们分享他们的故事。
Each real story makes my day.
每个故事都让我的一天充满了正能量。
