双语美文:我相信我总能选择

Even people in the witness protection program must take with them fundamental aspects of themselves which can never change. What are these aspects for me? This is what I learn every day, and so far I have discovered many unique things, but one stands out above the rest. I have discovered in myself an ability to recognize, give, and receive caring in a way far deeper than anything in my life previously. Others have seen this in me as well.

即使是每个在证人保护制度下生活的人也都会带着一些他们永不改变的特制。什么东西对我来说是永不改变的呢?这就是我每天学习的东西，到目前为止我已经发现了许多奇特的事情，但最与众不同的事情是我发现自己较之以往更能认识，给予和接受关怀。其他的人也发现我在这方面改变了许多。

I, who have always been an intensely private and independent person, have allowed a wide circle of family and friends into the most intimate parts of my life. Previously, I would have found such a prospect appalling. I might have felt I had no choice but to embrace the assumption that living with ALS means a life of hardship and isolation. Instead, because I believe that I always have a choice, I opened myself to other possibilities. And now the very thing that at first seemed so abhorrent has graced my life with unaccustomed sweetness. It was always there. Only now I have chosen to see it. This sweetness underscores and celebrates my belief that I always have a choice.
