《我姐姐的守护者》催人泪下 阳光小美女大秀演技
 

My sister died that night. I wish I could say that she made some miracle recovery but she didn't. She just stopped breathing. And I wish I could tell you that there was some good that came out of it that through Kate's death we could all go on living. Or even that her life had some special meaning like they named a park after her, or a street or that the Supreme Court changed a law because of her. But none of that happened. She's just gone a little piece of blue sky now. And we all have to move on.

我的姐姐在那晚过世了。我也很希望说她突然奇迹般的康复,但她却没有。她就那样停止了呼吸。我也希望我能告诉你说因为凯特的过世有什么好事儿发生了,能让我们一家好好生活下去。或者说她的生命有什么特别的意义,然后有个公园啦马路什么的以她的名字命名,或者高级法院为她修正了一条法案啥的。但什么都没有发生。她回到了天堂,化作一小块的天蓝。而我们的生活还在继续。


Life is different now. A lot has changed in the last few years. Mom went back to work rebuilt her practice and is now making a very nice living. Dad took an early pension and now spends time counseling troubled inner-city youths. And Jesse's doing best of all. After Kate died, he turned his life around. He went back to school and got himself a scholarship to a fancy art academy in New York. And even though we've grown up and moved away, every year, on Kate's birthday, we all take a vacation together and it's always to the same place. I'll never understand why Kate had to die and we all got to live. There's no reason for it. I guess. Death's just death. Nobody understands it. Once upon a time, I thought I was put on Earth to save my sister. And in the end. I couldn't do it. I realize now that wasn't the point. The point was, I had a sister. She was fantastic. One day,I'm sure I'll see her again. But until then our relationship continues.

现在我们的生活都不一样了。这些年发生了很大的变化。妈妈回去工作了,重新开张经营,有了很好的收益。爸爸提前领了退休金,把时间精力都用在教育失足少年上头。杰西是我们当中发展最好的。凯特过世后,他转变了自己的生活方式,回到学校,还拿了奖学金,去了纽约一家很棒的艺术学院进修。即使我们都在成长,搬离了原来的生活,每年凯特生日那天,我们都会一起旅行,每一年都是同一个目的地。我永远不会明白为什么凯特必须死去,而我们却都活着。我想这也许是没有理由的吧。死了就是死了。没有人能够参透其中奥秘。很久很久以前,我知道自己来到这个世界上来救我的姐姐。最终我也没能够做到。我现在知道这并不重要。重要的是,我有过一个姐姐。她超赞的。我相信,终有一天我要与她再次相见。在我们重逢之前,我们的姐妹情依旧延续。
