朋友有大恙 (癌症），但她乐观如常。即使在西雅图医院的放疗化疗期间（要持续月余），也坚持写博客，将她抗癌的经历写出来，以期给其他癌症患者以鼓励和启发。

    她是我们大学时的班长，多才多艺，诗文精湛，笑声甜美。

    我尽量用最简单的词句、最朴实的意象为她写了英诗一首，为她战癌鼓气。期望宋先生将它译成中文。先谢了。

You’ll Make it

--To a friend in hospital

A stream can’t be hindered –

It flows to the ocean.

A smile can’t be ruffled –

It turns out eternal motion.

                   .

You can’t be defeated;

You’ll make it.

                   .

A bud can’t be destroyed –

It ushers in the forever spring.

A bird can’t be frightened –

It brings about a joy string.

                   .

You can’t be defeated;

You’ll make it.

                  .

The softest voice

    cuts through the hardest rock.

The sweetest smile

    makes light of life’s mock.

                  .

You can’t be defeated;

You’ll make it.
