　　I have a Rewards Card for Showcase Cinema that allows me to earn rewards points with each purchase that I make at the theatre and periodically provides me with a free popcorn, soda or movie ticket coupon. 我有一張Showcase電影院的積分卡，每次消費都會積點，然後定期給我提供免費的爆米花，汽水，和電影優惠券。

　　I had recently accumulated enough rewards points to obtain a coupon for a free popcorn. 最近我的積分可以換免費的爆米花了。

　　Standing in the movie theatre ticket line on Saturday, I noticed just ahead of me, a father with his 2 small boys also waiting to buy their tickets for the Matinee Movie. 週六，我正在排隊買電影票，注意到有一個父親帶著兩個孩子就排在我的前面，準備看日場電影。

　　Knowing that movies can be quite expensive for families nowadays, I tapped the Dad on the shoulder and asked, ‘I have a coupon for free popcorn and don’t plan to use it, would you like it for one of your boys?’ 如今在電影上的花銷對於一個家庭來說也是有點小貴，所以我拍了下那位父親的肩膀，問道：“我正好有一張爆米花的免費優惠券，我不打算用了，要不你給其中一個小朋友來一份吧。

　　He said, ‘Yeah, sure. That’s great! Thanks!’ and took the coupon. ”父親答道，“好的，太棒了，謝謝你！”說著手下了優惠券。

　　A few minutes later, after they had purchased their tickets, one of his small sons who appeared to be about 9 or 10 years old, walked up to me and silently held out a shiny penny to show me. 幾分鐘以後，他們都買好了票，其中的一個小男孩，看起來大概9到10歲的樣子，向我走來，然後默默地拿出一美分給我看。

　　I took it and said, ‘Wow that’s cool! It’s really shiny!’ 我拿過來看著說道：“這個好酷，而且它看起來很閃。”

　　He quietly replied, ‘It’s a 2011’.As I handed it back to him. “它是2011年生產的”小男孩答道，接著我就把硬幣還給了他。

　　He pushed the penny towards me once again and quietly said, ‘You can keep it’. 他又把硬幣遞過來說：“你可以收下它”。

　　Showing my gratitude, I replied, ‘Wow that’s awesome, thank you very much” and asked, ‘Where did you get it!’ and he said quite softly, ‘I found it in my Dad’s car’. 為了表示我的感激我說道：“這枚硬幣太棒了，非常感謝！你是從哪裡找到的？”“是從我爸爸的車裡”他輕聲說道。

　　I said, ‘Oh that’s cool, thanks! 我說：“很不錯呢，謝謝！”

　　He smiled, quietly turned and walked back to his Dad who returned my smile with a knowing smile of his own. 他笑了，然後轉身朝著他爸爸走去，只見他爸爸也報以微笑，好似他知道事情的始末。

　　It’s the small special moments like that that can make an ordinary day, special.這個美好特別的一刻，讓平凡無奇的一天變得有意義。
