Here's a story I collected from a total stranger.
這個(gè)故事是我從一個(gè)完全陌生的女士那兒聽來的。

"Well， I was 11 when my family arrived at Fern lake overlook on Trail Ridge road in Rocky mountain national park.
“事情是這樣的。當(dāng)時(shí)我才11歲，和家人一起搬到了費(fèi)恩湖畔的一所房子居住，在那里我們可以俯瞰落基山公家公園，還有縱貫山脊的徑山脊公路。
?

It was so beautiful to look miles across the Rockies and thousands of feet below into the valley.
站在高處眺望連綿不絕的落基山脈，俯瞰數(shù)千英尺之下的小村莊，風(fēng)景優(yōu)美極了。

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.
我的父母都忙著從搬家卡車?yán)锇徇\(yùn)食材，操持午飯。我一個(gè)人翻過木頭柵欄，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.
我從一個(gè)小山坡上往下走，山坡上遍布滑溜溜的鵝卵石，我很快開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，下滑的速度越來越快，眼前似乎就是世界盡頭（其實(shí)那是一個(gè)海拔2000英尺的懸崖）

In seconds I knew I was going to die.
我知道自己幾秒鐘之內(nèi)就要死掉了。

My feet and legs went first over the edge at a high speed.
我的腳好雙腿已經(jīng)飛速躍過了懸崖。

Then suddenly I felt two hands push hard on my chest and stopped me dead.
突然，我感到兩只手緊緊的箍住了我的胸口，我猛地停了下來。

My heart was racing and I slowly inched my body back to where I finally could make it back up the hill.
我的心臟狂跳不止，我一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)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 .
我的父親正在家門口等我，得知我的驚險(xiǎn)經(jīng)歷，狠狠教訓(xùn)了我一頓。

I tried to tell him and my mom about the hands that saved my life, but to this day they don't believe me.
我告訴父親和母親，有一雙陌生的手救了我的命，盡管費(fèi)盡唇舌，可是直到今天，他們都不相信這是真的。

They thought I was just trying to get out of trouble with a made up story.
他們認(rèn)為我只是編造了一個(gè)故事，好逃脫他們的教訓(xùn)。

We parted ways, but I assured her that I believed every word of her story.
陌生的女士說完她的故事，我們很快就分道揚(yáng)鑣了，臨別前我告訴她，我對(duì)她的故事深信不疑。

That's why I always ask people to share their miracles.
這就是為什么，我經(jīng)常請(qǐng)人們分享他們的故事。

Each real story makes my day.
每個(gè)故事都讓我的一天充滿了正能量。
