Beam除了笑容满面的意思之外,还有光束,发射等意思。
但今天我们要讲的是欢乐有爱的故事,
所以beam在这个故事里就是笑容满面,开心的意思。
Thereis a nine-year-old girl called Melody Driscoll.
Sheis such a big fan of Ed Sheeran, her family refers to him as her PrinceCharming.
这个叫做Melody的小女孩一出生就被诊断出患有Rett综合征。这是一种非常罕见的神经障碍性疾病。
Melodycan’t walk or talk, though she understands everything.
She’sspent about 80 percent of her life in hospital, undergoing over 40 operations.
医生预估她只能活到4岁,但今年的12月Melody就要10岁了!
Melody’sfamily credits Ed Sheeran’s music for lifting her spirits and inspiring her tokeep fighting.
于是,Meldoy的妈妈一年前就开始在社交媒体上呼吁,希望Edsheeran能够来看望自己的女儿。 后来,EdSheeran的经纪人看到了这个事情。
然后,当当当 surprise!
EdSheeran真的出现在了Melody的床边。
Melody的妈妈说:“Shewas star struck at first, she didn’t believe it was him so he let her strokehis tattoo to prove he was the real deal,”
非要摸摸看看EdSheeran 的纹身才真正确定他不是梦!
Sheeranperformed his hit songs, “Thinking Out Loud” and “Photograph” for Melody on alittle pink guitar.
Melody就是从thinkingout loud这首歌开始喜欢Sheeran的。
她的妈妈写给Sheeran的话里提到:“Somany times I nearly lost her because she was giving up but as soon as we putyou on Melody would start fighting back,” “This is what I mean when I say thatI literally owe you her life. You literally keep her alive. She fights to stayin this crazy world just because of you.”
一个小女孩实现了自己的一个梦想!

Carrot—红萝卜上的婚戒
今天我们就要讲讲胡萝卜.
3 years ago, a man lost his wedding ring. And he never thought he’d find it again.
这个爷爷3年前把结婚戒指给丢了,带了几十年的婚戒没了,想想老爷子肯定很桑心。
He lost his wedding ring while gardening in Germany three years ago.
And recently mother nature decided to return it to him, and in the most unexpected way.
怎么也想不到,他的婚戒会这样找到。
大自然亲妈简直太有创意。
One day, while the man was out checking on his carrots, he was surprised to find his wedding ring stuck in one of the vegetables!
闲来无聊,到园子里挖点萝卜,没想到挖到了丢失的戒指!
The carrot had grown through the ring and brought it to the surface so that it could finally be reunited with its rightful owner.
估计当时案发现场是这样的, 老爷爷在园子里工作,啊!今天的太阳好大啊,擦汗的时候戒指一不下心滑出手指,埋在了泥土里。 然后一颗胡萝卜小苗从土里钻出,被戒指套住了。
(以上纯属想象,如有雷同,我好聪明)
His late wife always believed he’d find it again, and it turned out that she was right.
他夫人表示,我早就知道你能找到的,我又赢了!
恩!
就这样。 哈哈

Runway-3秒拯救四百多人生命 机长获奖300万
今天我们要讲的是一位飞机机长的故事。
A Chinese airline rewarded one of its pilots with three million yuan for preventing a collision(碰撞) between two planes that could have killed 439 people.
在东方航空公司召开的上海虹桥机场10.11事件何超机组表彰大会上。A320机组机长何超被评为先进党员,并奖励人民币300万元。
同时,该客机机组也获得表彰以及人民币60万元奖励。
怎么回事儿呢?
He Chao’s Airbus A320 was about to take off from an airport in Shanghai last month when it encountered another airplane in its path along the runway.
10月11日深夜,何超及其机组成员驾驶的A320客机载着147名乘客接到塔台指令开车滑出,12时03分,塔台指挥飞机进入36L跑道,机组在执行完起飞前检查单确认跑道无障碍的情况下,执行起飞动作。
The flight was about to take off when another flight had just landed and was taxiing nearby.
According to the simulation video, the other flight was speeding up on the runway when Mr. He spotted the A330 entering its runway just feet away.
另一架客机正载着266名旅客穿越36L跑道准备停靠航站楼。眼看两架飞机就要呈“T”字型相撞了。
At that moment, He Chao chose to accelerate and fly over the other aircraft avoiding a head-on crash by just 19 metres.
And his aircraft narrowly missed the other plane.
最终A320从A330上方掠过,未造成撞击。
而实际上,两架客机垂直距离最短仅19米。
3秒! 如果再晚3秒,恐怕就要导致机毁人亡的后果。400多人的生命也会受到严重的威胁。
事后调查相关机构进行了事故调查。
An investigation launched by China's aviation authority, CAAC, found that air traffic control were at fault for the incident.
CAAC suggested that the control centre and the crew members of the A330 failed to maintain proper communication with the controller.
一起特大事故有幸避免,有网友留言说,奖励300万一点都不多。人的生命是无法用金钱衡量的,何超机长当时的迅速反应真是太帅了。霸气!
你觉得呢?
