Everyone in the apartment I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was a tomcat and loved three things in this world: fighting, eating, and love. Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby (皱纹), striped-type, except for the sores covering his head and neck. Every time someone saw Ugly, there was the same reaction. “That’s one UGLY cat !”
Whenever he spied children, he would come running, meowing (喵喵叫) frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love. However, all the children were warned not to touch him, or else the adults would throw rocks at him.
One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor’s huskies (爱斯基摩狗). They did not respond kindly. From my apartment I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was lying, it was apparent that Ugly’s sad life had been almost at an end.
Ugly lay in a wet circle, and his back legs and lower back twisted grossly out of shape. A tear in the white strip of fur ran down his front. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could feel his struggling. It must be hurting him terribly, I thought.
Then I felt a familiar sucking sensation on my ear. Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying, was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head. Then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring (咕噜声). Even in the greatest pain, that ugly cat was asking only for a little affection.
Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray could change my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply.
Many people want to be richer, more successful, but for me, I will always try to be Ugly.

在我住的那所公寓里，每个人都知道“丑丑”是谁，它是一只公猫，活在世上只喜欢干三件事：打架、进食与爱恋。要不是它头颈处满是伤痕，“丑丑”原本是一只有着深棕色条纹图案的猫咪。人们每次见到“丑丑”，都是同样的反应：“真是只丑八怪！”

每当“丑丑”发现小孩子时，它就会跑过来，拼命地喵喵叫，用脑袋碰触着他们的小手，希望得到孩子们的爱抚。然而，所有的孩子都受到过警告，不许碰“丑丑”；大人们会向它扔石块。

一天，“丑丑”想向隔壁的爱斯基摩犬表达爱意，但并未得到友善的回应。我在屋内都能听到它的惨叫，于是冲了过去想要救它。等我赶到时，它躺在那里，悲惨的一生显然已几乎走到尽头。

“丑丑”躺在血泊里（译注：a wet circle：一个潮湿的小圈子，根据上下文分析，可能是“血泊”），后腿和臀部极度扭曲，不成样子，一滴眼泪挂在胸前的一簇白毛上。我抱起它，想带它回家，我能感觉到它在挣扎，它一定非常痛苦，我想。

这时，我的耳际有一种熟悉的被吮吸的感觉：在垂死中煎熬的“丑丑”，在那般的苦痛中，还在费力吮着我的耳朵。我抱紧它，它用脑袋碰触我的手，转动一只金色的眼睛看着我，我听见它清楚地发出咕噜咕噜的声音（译注：猫科表示满足、高兴时发出的特有声音）。即使在极端痛苦中，这只难看的猫咪所索求的仅仅是些许爱怜。

我还没有进屋，“丑丑”就在我的臂弯里死了，但我还是坐了下来，抱着它过了许久，想着这样一只伤痕累累、不成样子的流浪小猫咪，竟然改变了我对何谓真正纯洁灵魂的看法，那就是去全情全意、真心实意地爱。它伤在外表，而我却伤在内心，现在是时候让自己摆脱既往，学习如果真切而深挚地去爱了。

许多人希望变得更加富有而成功，但对我而言，我永远都希望做一只“丑丑”。
