You Are Wonderful
你太棒了
The following true story captured our hearts. It happened several years ago in the Paris opera house. A famous singer had been contracted to sing, and ticket sales were booming. In fact, the night of the concert found the house packed and every ticket sold. The feeling of anticipation and excitement was in the air as the house manager took the stage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your enthusiastic support. I'm afraid that due to illness, the man whom you've all come to hear will not be performing tonight. However, we have found a suitable substitude we hope will provide you with comparable entertainment." The crowd groaned in disappointment and failed to hear the announcer mention the stand-in's name. The environment turned from excitement to frustration.
以下是一則動人心弦的真實故事。它發生在幾年前的巴黎歌劇院。一位著名歌唱家簽了約要開演唱會，票賣得異常好，事實上演出當晚劇院給擠得水泄不通，票已售罄。觀眾們滿懷著期望與激情，不料劇院經理卻走上臺說：“女士們，先生們，謝謝你們的熱情捧場。你們大家來此希望聽到一展歌喉的歌唱家因為生病，恐怕今晚無法演出。但是，我們另找了一位實力不相上下的歌手，希望今晚能為你們帶來相同的歡樂。”失望中，觀眾們議論紛紛，聽也沒聽報幕說出代唱歌手的名字。劇院的氣氛一落千丈，由高漲變為沮喪。
The stand-in performer gave the performance everything he had. When he had finished, there was nothing but an uncomfortable silence. No one applauded. Suddenly, from the balcony, a little boy stood up and shouted, "Daddy, I think you are wonderful!" The crowd broke into thunderous applause.
代唱歌手傾盡渾身解數做了表演。而待他唱畢，觀眾們只是不悅地緘默著。沒有人鼓掌。突然，一個小男孩從樓座上站起來，他大聲地說：“爸爸，我覺得你太棒了！”觀眾席頓時爆發出雷鳴般的掌聲。
We all need people in our lives who are willing to stand up once in a while and say, "I think you are wonderful."
在生活中，我們都需要有人不時地站起來對我們說：“我覺得你太棒了。”
