This gift came to me about five months ago.
46
135260
3000
这份礼物在五个月之前来到我身边
02:18
It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up --
47
138260
2000
当它打开的时候 它就是这样
02:20
not quite so pretty.
48
140260
2000
并不太漂亮吧
02:23
And this,
49
143260
2000
这个
02:26
and then this.
50
146260
3000
还有这个
02:29
It was a rare gem --

a brain tumor,
52

53
153260
3000
学名:成血管细胞瘤
02:36
the gift that keeps on giving.
54
156260
3000
这份礼物还在给我不同的东西
02:39
And while I'm okay now,
55
159260
2000
就算我现在已经康复了
02:41
I wouldn't wish this gift for you.
56
161260
2000
我并不希望你会获得这份礼物
02:43
I'm not sure you'd want it.
57
163260
2000
我不觉得你们想要它
02:45
But I wouldn't change my experience.
58
165260
3000
但是我不能改变我自己的经历
02:48
It profoundly altered my life
59
168260
3000
它深深改变了我的生命
02:51
in ways I didn't expect
60
171260
2000
我从来没有想过会这样
02:53
in all the ways I just shared with you.
61
173260
2000
想我刚才与你们分享的一样
02:55
So the next time you're faced
62
175260
2000
所以当你下次遇到
02:57
with something that's unexpected,
63
177260
3000
意料之外的事情
03:00
unwanted and uncertain,
64
180260
3000
你不想要的 不肯定的事情
03:03
consider
65
183260
2000
想一想
03:05
that it just may be a gift.
66
185260
3000
这或者是一份礼物
03:08
(Applause)
