ItalianoThe Story of the $20 Donation “Relay” 二十美元的「接力捐款」
作者：曾铮 ，来源：作者博客，文章转自网络，旨在为读者提供多元信息，文章内容并不代表本网立场和观点。
I was very much surprised and moved to receive this message from my website’s “contact me” section yesterday:
昨天从我个人网站的「联系我」那个地方收到这样一封信，让我既惊讶，又感动：
“Hi Jennifer, I recently read your story on DJY(Jennifer’s note: This means the Chinese version of the Epoch Times) and was very much moved and impressed, and I searched your book online and was able to download the PDF from the bannedbook.org.
「曾铮：你好！我最近从大纪元上看到你的故事，它让我非常感动，且给我留下深刻印象。我到网上搜你的书，结果从禁书网上找到到下载了PDF文件。
“But I would like to show my appreciation of your hard work via some donation, and I”ll be really honored if you could accept my $20 donation (not that money is an important matter here but as I figured if I buy your book on Amazon, you only receive a fraction of the sales price, so might as well send the amount to you directly. So if you agree, please send me your PayPal email address or other similar venues, and I”ll transfer the amount over).
「（虽然我免费下载了你的书），但是，我还是想用一点点微薄的捐款来表示我对你的付出的感激。如果你能接受我$20的捐款，我将不胜荣幸（重要的不是钱。但我想如果我从亚马逊上买你的书，你可能只能收到售价的一部分，所以我觉得直接把这笔钱给你比较好。如果你同意，请将你的PayPal帐号或其他帐号的信息发给我，我好把钱转给你。）。
“Believe or not, this is my first time reaching out to an author of a book as I feel compelled to do so — that”s at least what I can do for such an earth-shattering book that exposes in depth the evilest things done by the CCP against humanity…”
「不管你信不信，这是我每一次联系一本书的作者，因爲我觉得有必须这样做，这至少是我能做的，爲一本能震撼全球的、如此深刻地揭露了中共最邪恶的反人类罪行的书……」
And I sent her this reply:
看了这封信，我如此回覆她：
“Thank you so much for reaching out, and for you kindness. Actually this is the first time that I received such a message and a kind offer. I decided to accept it as an appreciation for your effort.
「非常感谢您联系我。感谢您的善良。这也是我第一次收到类似的信，和类似的表达善意的方式。爲表示对您所做努力的感谢，我决定接受您的捐赠。
”In case anybody wants to buy a ‘real’ book, it is available here:
「如果您今後想向朋友推荐此书，这里能买到正式的印刷本：
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1981879927”
Within minutes after I sent her my PayPal account info, I received the $20 donation with this message:
几分锺之後，我就收到了她的20元捐款，和以下信息：
“Thank you Jennifer. Your story touches the bottom of my heart.”
「谢谢你，曾铮。你的故事深深地打动了我的心。」
Although making money has never been my goal for writing, it is nonetheless very heartening to know that my effort is appreciated. The kindness and heart sent through with the $20 worth more than a gold mine.
虽然我从来就不是爲钱写作，但这位读者的信和捐款，还是让我无比感动。二十元钱不算什麽，但那份善意，那份心，却比金子还要保贵。
Then I decided to “pass on” the donation to DJY, where this donor learned about my story and my book. Passing on something good is always easy to do. So I click this “donation” button and sent on the $20 with my PayPal.
然後我决定将这20元转赠给大纪元，那位读者不是从大纪元上看到我的故事的吗？所以这是一个很顺理成章的决定，对吗？於是我按在大纪元网站上的「捐助大纪元」，把这20元用PayPal发了过去。
Whether people know or appreciate what DJY has been doing now, I know that in the future they will be very grateful to DJY. So I thought I’d like to show my appreciation now instead wait any longer.
我深知，无论今天人们了不了解、感不感谢大纪元所做的一切，未来的人类一定会。所以我不如我今天先带个头好了。
Although the $20 donation only stayed in my PayPal account for a few minutes, the warmth will be there forever.
就这样，这20元的捐款只在我的帐号里待了几分钟。但那份温暖，会永远存於我心底的。
谢谢您，可贵的读者和朋友们。
