原文对照：

I stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to my mother who lived two hundred miles away.
我将车停在了一个花店前，想要为母亲订一束花，快递到她两百英里外的家里。

As I got out of my car I noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.
下车时，我看见一个小女孩坐在马路沿上哭泣。

I asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."
我问她怎么了，女孩回答道：“我想为妈妈买一支红玫瑰，但我只有75美分，一支玫瑰要两美元。”

I smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose." I bought the little girl her rose and ordered my own mother's flowers.
我笑着说：“跟我来，我给你买朵玫瑰。”我为这个小女孩买了朵玫瑰，并为自己的母亲订了花。

As we were leaving I offered the girl a ride home. She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother."
离开时，我说可以顺便载这女孩回家，女孩说：“好的，您可以带我去见我妈妈。”

She directed me to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
女孩把我带往了一处公墓，她将玫瑰放在了一块新立的墓碑前。

I returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to my mother's house.
我返回了花店，取消了花束订送服务，选了一束花，开车去了两百英里以外母亲的住处。
