Lillian Weber makes a dress from scratch every single day so that a child in need will have something beautiful to wear. 莉莉安·韦伯为了贫困地区的孩子有漂亮衣服穿,坚持每天为他们做一件新衣服。 Throughout the last few years, Weber has made more than 840 dresses for Little Dresses for Africa, a Christian nonprofit that distributes dresses to impoverished young girls in Africa and beyond. Weber says she hopes to hit the 1,000 dress mark before too long. 在过去的几年里,韦伯已经通过名为“非洲小礼服”的基督徒非盈利组织向非洲及周边国家的贫困小女孩送去了840件自己做的漂亮裙子。韦伯说她希望能尽快做够1000件裙子。 All this would certainly be extraordinary enough, but there's something else that makes Weber's story particularly astounding: She's 99. 单是这样的行为已足够让人感到不可思议了,可更令人敬佩的是,莉莉安·韦伯是一位已经99岁的老人了。 Weber, who lives in Iowa, reportedly starts on a new dress every single morning, and after a midday break, finishes the garment in the afternoon. "It is just what I like to do," Weber told the Quad-City Times earlier this year. 据报道,家住美国爱荷华州的韦伯,每天早晨开始制作衣服,中午稍作休息后继续,并在下午完成制作。“这是我喜欢做的事情。”韦伯今年年初告诉记者。 |
