我的妹夫打开我妹妹书桌最底下的抽屉，拿出一个裹着纸片的小包。“这个，”他说，“不是一张纸片，而是一件女士内衣，”“他弄掉纸片，把它递给我。这是件精致的女士内衣，它是用手工缝制的丝制品，齐整的镶着蛛网似的花边。衣服上甚至还钉着数额惊人的价格标签。”“这是我和简第一次去纽约的时候买的，至少是八九年以前了，她从来没有穿过，她一直在等一个特殊的场合。我想，现在该是时候了。”“他从我手上拿过内衣，把它和其他一些衣服一起摆到床上，我们要把它们带到殡仪馆。他的手在那柔软的面料上摩擦了一会儿，然后砰的关上抽屉，转过来对我说。“千万别珍藏什么东西去等一个合适的机会，你活着的每一天都是一个机会。”

My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister"s bureau and lifted out a tissue-wrapped package. "This," he said, "is not a slip（纸片）. This is lingerie（女士内衣）." He discarded the tissue and handed me the slip. It was exquisite（精致的）; silk, handmade and trimmed with a cobweb （蜘蛛网，蛛丝）of lace（花边）.

我牢记着这些话，帮着他和我的侄女处理这起因以外事故丧生后的葬礼和各种悲伤琐事。在我从妹妹居住的这个中西部地区小镇飞往加利福尼亚的飞机上,，还在回想着这些话语。我想着那些她从来没有见过、听过、或者做过的事情，我想着那些她经理过却没有意识到其独特性的事情。

I remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when I helped him and my niece attend to all the sad chores （琐事）that follow an unexpected death. I thought about them on the plane returning to California from the Midwestern town where my sister"s family lives. I thought about all the things that she hadn"t seen or heard or done. I thought about the things that she had done without realizing that they were special.

现在我仍然还在思索他的话，他们甚至改变了我的一生。我阅读更多的东西，少了很多迷惑。我坐在草地上欣赏风景，不再去担心花园的杂草。我花更多的时间陪伴家人和朋友，不再一味的去参加无聊的会议。不论何时，生活应该是一种享受的过程，而不是忍受。我开始认识并珍视现在的每一时刻。

I"m still thinking about his words, and they"ve changed my life. I"m reading more and dusting less. I"m sitting on the d
