This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia with my family.

故事发生在我和家人在圣卢西亚岛的时候。

My sister, Diana, who also happens to be my best friend and one of the funniest and kindest people I know, went blind in one eye about 9 years ago.

我的姐姐戴安娜,是我最好的朋友,也是我认识的最有趣和最善良的人之一,大约九年前,她的一只眼睛失明了。

Diana sometimes feels concerned about the way her eye looks now.

现在戴安娜有时担心她眼睛看起来的样子。

The pupil(瞳孔) is no longer black; it's sort of "glows" in photos.

瞳孔不再是黑色的,在照片里眼睛看起来有些发亮。

Diana recently purchased a special contact lens(隐形眼镜) that makes her eye look like it did before it changed color, but she doesn't wear this lens often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour.

戴安娜最近买了一副特别的隐形眼镜,让她的眼睛看起来像变色前的样子,但她不经常戴隐形眼镜,因为戴完后大约一个小时眼睛会非常疼。

One night during our holiday, a hotel photographer was taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area set up for dinner.

假期的某个晚上,酒店摄影师正在给顾客拍照当他们走入就餐区时。

Diana casually said if she had known there were going to be pictures taken to capture this special memory, she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn't be so shiny in the picture.

戴安娜随口说道如果她知道要拍照记下这特殊的一幕,就会戴隐形眼镜,那么她的眼睛在照片里就不会那么亮。

The next day, I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted.

第二天,我与戴安娜和她的丈夫泰德坐在一起。

While we were talking, the photographer who had been at the dinner the night before, handed her a photo, leaned in and quietly said, "I matched the color of your eyes in the picture."

我们聊天时,前一天晚餐时的摄影师递给她一张照片,并俯身轻轻地说:“我匹配了照片中你眼睛的颜色。”

As he walked away, my sister happily said to me and Ted, "Look! He fixed my eye!"

他走开后,我的姐姐高兴地对我和泰德说:“看!他修复了我的眼睛!”

The photographer stopped. He turned around and walked back to our table.

摄影师停下脚步。他转身走回我们的桌子旁。

He put his hand on Diana's shoulder, leaned in again and gently said, "Just to be clear: I didn't fix your eye. There isn't anything wrong with your eye. I simply matched the color. "

他把手放在戴安娜的肩膀上,再次俯身轻声说道:“解释一下,我不是修复了你的眼睛,你的眼睛没有问题,我只是匹配了颜色。”

Her eyes filled up with tears. It was very healing for her heart to hear these beautiful words. It didn't take much time and made so much difference. It helped her change the way she feels about herself.

她的眼睛充满泪水。听到这么体贴的话对她来说太暖心了。小小的举动没有花费太多时间但产生了很大的影响,帮助她改变了看待自己的方式。

I have always loved the quote: "The world is full of good people. If you can't find one, be one!"

我一直喜欢一句话:“这个世界充满了好人。如果你没有发现好人,那就成为一个好人。”

Your acts of kindness can impact the world in profound ways!

你的善举会深刻地影响世界!
