一瓶牛奶足以温暖我们一辈子

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.

一天，一个贫穷的�?男孩为了攒够学费正挨家挨户地推销商�?。
饥寒交迫的他摸�??全身，�?��?�有一角钱。于是他决定�?�下一户人家讨�?�饭�?�。

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?�?

然而，当一�?美丽的年轻女�?打开房门的时候，这个�?男孩�?�有点�?知所措了。他没有�?饭，�?�乞求给他一�?�水�?。这�?女�?看到他饥饿的样�?，就倒了一大�?�牛奶给他。男孩慢慢地�?完牛奶，问�?�：“我应该付多少钱？�?

“You don’t owe me anything,�? she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.�? He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.�? As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.

年轻女�?微笑�?�回答：“一分钱也�?用付。我妈妈教导我，施以爱心，�?图回报。�?男孩说：“那么，就请接�?�我由衷的感谢�?��?�?说完，�?�?�德-凯利就离开了这户人家。此时的他�?仅自己浑身是劲儿，而且更加相信上�?和整个人类。本�?�，他都打算放弃了。

Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.

数年之�?�，那�?女�?得了一�?罕�?的�?病，当地医生对此�?�手无策。最�?�，她被转到大城市医治，由专家会诊治疗。大�??鼎鼎的�?�?�德-凯利医生也�?�加了医疗方案的制定。当他�?�到病人�?�自的那个城镇的�??字时，一个奇怪的念头霎时间闪过他的脑际。他马上起身直奔她的病房。

Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.

身穿手术�?的凯利医生�?�到病房，一眼就认出了�?�人。回到会诊室�?�，他决心一定�?竭尽所能�?�治好她的病。从那天起，他就特别关照这个对自己有�?�的病人。

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words…

�?过艰苦的努力，手术�?功了。凯利医生�?求把医�?�费通知�?��?到他那里，他看了一下，便在通知�?�的�?边签了字。当医�?� 费通知�?��?到她的病房时，她�?敢看。因为她确信，治病的费用将会花费她整个余生�?��?�还。最�?�，她还是鼓起勇气，翻开了医�?�费通知�?�，�?边的那行�?字引起了 她的注�?，她�?�?轻声读了出�?�：

“Paid in full with a glass of milk.�?

(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly

“医�?�费已付：一�?�牛奶。�?

(签�??)�?�?�德-凯利医生

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently: “Thank You, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.�?

喜悦的泪水溢出了她的眼�?�，她默默地祈祷�?�：“谢谢你，上�?，你的爱已通过人类的心�?�和�?�手传播了。�?

现在有很多人把中国许多问题的出现或者说难以解决归因于中国的人多，在医疗层�?�看起�?�似乎也是如此。为什么中国的社会�?障�?医疗�?障与�?�达国家存在如此之 大的差�?，为何城乡之间�?�?�?�地区之间亦存在如此之大的差�?，说穿了还是中国的人多。正因为人多，国家没有那么多钱使得�?一个人都享有良好的�?利；也正因 为人多，国家的有些优厚政策难以使�?一个人从中�?�益。

中国的医改任�?而�?�远，中国的未�?�任�?而�?�远�?但我始终�?�信：“�?��?人人都献出一点爱，世界将�?��?美好的人间。�?当医疗正�?为中国新三座大山中的一座时， 能看到这样一篇文章，�?�实令人感动。人们常说医生是白衣天使，是生命的守护者，是有些病人或患者最�?�的希望。但是事实有时是残酷的，�?�想与现实总是存在�?� 这样或那样的差�?。当我们一次�?�一次地�?�闻或者目�?�有些医务工作者唯利是图，�?�?履行“救死扶伤�?天�?�时；当我们一次�?�一次地�?�闻或者目�?�在中国这�?�并�? 富裕的大地上，惊爆一起�?�一起天价医疗费事件时；当我们一次�?�一次地�?�闻或者目�?�中国的医疗�??年之改�?��?有90%（官方数字）�?满�?时，我们�?�能说什么？      太多的事件，我们仅仅�?�留在感动的层�?�，我想�?问：除了感动，我们是�?�也应该有些行动呢？
