The price?

and that's an incredible deal.

這真是一筆好買賣。

By now I know you're dying to know

This gift came to me about five months ago.

It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up --

包起來的話長得像這樣

not quite so pretty.

And this,

再來是這樣

and then this.

再這樣

It was a rare gem --

這個稀有珍寶

a brain tumor,

是個腦瘤

hemangioblastoma --

成血管細胞瘤

the gift that keeps on giving.

一個讓你不斷得到收穫的禮物。

And while I'm okay now,

我現在是沒事了

I wouldn't wish this gift for you.

但我不會希望你得到這個禮物。

I'm not sure you'd want it.

我也不確定你會不會想要。

But I wouldn't change my experience.

It profoundly altered my life

in ways I didn't expect

So the next time you're faced

所以下次

with something that's unexpected,

萬一你必須面對出乎意料的事

unwanted and uncertain,

是你不要或是不確定的

consider

你可以把它

that it just may be a gift.

想成是一個禮物。
