NBC晚间新闻 小学生手语为校工送生日祝福（在线收听）

The kids at Hickerson elementary simply call him Mr. James, the custodian who's been a beloved fixture here for two decades. For his 60th, because James Anthony is deaf, the kids knew they hadto do more than just singing Happy Birthday. So they learned how to sign it. As Mr. James came in here, we did it altogether. I feel really good for I did that. Because he is so happy.

His reaction. I was very shocked. I was coming in thinking I had another mess to clean up. We were all in tears because it was just amazing when they were so excited. Born with polio, James lost his hearing as a teen, but he's found something else. It's been a moving experience seeing that class. Wow. It just shows me that I am pretty important here. A birthday wish worth a thousand words in any language.

希克森小学(Hickerson elementary)的孩子们叫他詹姆斯先生(Mr. James)，他在这里做了20年管理员。詹姆斯·安东尼60岁生日要到了，因为詹姆斯·安东尼听不见，孩子们知道他们要做的不仅仅是唱生日快乐歌。所以他们学会了如何用手语表达生日祝福。当詹姆斯先生进来的时候，我们一起做的。我做了那件事感觉很好。因为他很开心。这是当时的反应。我非常震惊。我进来的时候想我还有一堆东西要清理。我们都哭了，因为当他们那么激动，真是太棒了。詹姆斯患有小儿麻痹症，十几岁的时候就失去了听力，但他发现了一些别的东西。看到这个班的孩子真是一段感人的经历。哇。这说明我在这里很重要。一个生日祝福胜过千言万语。
