　Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim inthe old swimming hole behind his house.

　　几年前的一个炎炎夏日，在美国佛罗里达州南部，有个小男孩为贪图凉快，决定去自家房子后面一个形成已久的深水潭中游泳。

　　In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks,and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle ofthe lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore. His mother - in the house was lookingout the window - saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, she rantoward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could.

　　From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched hislegs. Then began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much strongerthan the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened todrive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

　　母亲在岸上拼命地拽紧儿子的手臂，而此时美洲鳄也死死地咬住孩子的腿不放。为了争夺小男孩，母亲和鳄鱼之间俨然展开了一场让人难以置信的拔河较量。美洲鳄的力气显然要比母亲强大得多，但是母亲挽救儿子的坚定信念让她无论如何也绝不放手。就在这万分危急的关头，一位农夫恰巧驾车经过，一听到孩子母亲的尖叫便飞速从卡车上跳下，瞄准鳄鱼并开枪将其射杀。

　　You and I can identify with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, oranything quite so dramatic. But, the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightlyand have caused us deep regret.
