有哪些小事可以彻底改变生活

Guy turned out to be a firefighter. Reached into his front pocket. “This is actually really rare. Not a lot of glass survived; it just vaporized.” And he pressed it into my hand.

那个人是消防员，他把手伸进衣服前面口袋里，把一块玻璃放进我手里说：“这块真的很少见，大部分玻璃都没了，熔化掉了。”

I still have it. It’s not that the guy was giving up a valuable souvenir. It was that he was acknowledging my connection to that little piece of glass, and putting it where he thought it belonged - that, and he needed to give me something that in some small way I could hold onto and focus on, instead of the hurt. This was how he could do that in that one moment.

我现在仍然留着它，不是因为那个男人放弃了一个有价值的纪念品，而是因为他明白我和这一小块玻璃之间的联系，把它放到一个他认为这块玻璃该去的地方。他需要把这个东西给我，让我能握在手里或多或少把注意力转移到这上面，而不是整日悲伤。这就是当时他所能做的。

I was so bound up in my own head I never even asked his name; he didn’t ask mine either. If he’s out there now, I want to tell him that the little piece of glass made me start to think that maybe everything wasn’t transient, ephemeral - that maybe there were things, little things, short moments, small pieces, that last no matter what.
