参考译文

大约10年前，我还是一名在校大学生，整个暑假我都在博物馆打工。那时的我生活艰难。爸爸失业，妈妈卧病在床。我不知道下个学期是否还能继续上学。

一天，当我正在工作时，我看见一位老人推着一个坐轮椅的小女孩走了进来。当女孩逐渐靠近，我才发现她没有胳膊也没有腿。她穿着一身小巧的白色连衣裙，还戴着一顶帽子。

当这位老人推着轮椅朝我走过来时，我正忙于自己的工作。我转过头朝着女孩眨了下眼。当我从她爷爷手里拿过钱时，我回头看了一下，她朝我绽放出我见过的最甜蜜、最灿烂的微笑。

突然，她的生理缺陷似乎不见了，我看到的只有这位美丽的姑娘，她的微笑几乎使我对生命的全部意义有了更好的理解。她把我这样一个贫穷、痛苦的大学生带进了她那充满微笑、爱心和温暖的世界。

现在，我成了一个成功的商人，每当我心情郁闷，满脑子全是生活的苦恼时，我都会想起那个小女孩和她教给我的关于生活的难忘一课。
