The Power of a Smile

英文原文

A smile is the simplest yet most powerful gesture in the world. It costs nothing, but gives so much. When you smile at someone, it lights up their day and creates a bridge of connection. Even on the gloomiest days, a smile can break through the clouds—try smiling at a stranger on the street, and you might see them pause, surprised, then smile back.
Smiles are contagious. A teacher’s warm smile can calm a nervous student; a parent’s smile turns a messy room into a home. Once, I saw an old man sitting alone in the park. I smiled at him, and he told me about his wife who loved to plant roses. That smile started a conversation that brought warmth to both of us.
So never underestimate the power of a smile. It’s a language everyone understands, a gift that multiplies when shared.

中文翻译

微笑是世界上最简单却最有力量的举动。它无需花费分文，却能给予诸多。当你对某人微笑时，那会点亮他们的一天，并架起沟通的桥梁。即使在最阴郁的日子里，微笑也能穿透云层——试着对街上的陌生人微笑，你可能会看到他们愣一下，然后回以微笑。
微笑是会传染的。老师温暖的微笑能让紧张的学生平静下来；父母的微笑能把杂乱的房间变成家。有一次，我看到一位老人独自坐在公园。我对他微笑，他便和我聊起了他爱种玫瑰的妻子。那个微笑开启了一段对话，给我们两人都带来了温暖。
所以，永远不要低估微笑的力量。它是人人都懂的语言，是一份分享后会加倍的礼物。
