近日，美国马里兰州一位修女被困电梯中长达4天。
　　这位名叫Margaret Geary的修女说：“我在电梯里呆了4天3夜，期间我除了恐慌就是祈祷。”
　　Margaret Geary今年85岁高龄，被困时她独自一人在修道院里，其他修女都去镇上开会了。不过事后，这名乐观的修女没有把这次被困想得太糟。
　　她说：“上帝永远与我同在，他陪伴着我们，保护着我们。”
　　Geary在电梯里靠一些芹菜和水过了4天。
　　她说：“我没有水可喝时，就用随身带的止咳糖浆当水喝。”
　　事发后，Geary便一直选择走楼梯，只是后来她的膝盖受伤了，她又重新用起电梯来。
　　她现在还在靠走楼梯治疗膝伤。她很感激这次事故。
　　她说：“我感谢上帝，很高兴在我被困时能和他保持沟通，我一直把这次事故当做一次馈赠。”

Nun stuck in elevator 4 days

　　BALTIMORE (WBFF/CNN) - An elderly nun in Maryland was trapped in an elevator for nearly four days.
　　"For four nights and three days, I lived in this elevator," Sister Margaret Geary said. "It was either panic or pray."
　　The 85-year-old nun was alone in the convent while her fellow sisters had left town for a convention, but this woman of faith turned her bad situation into a positive experience.
　　"The realization of God's loving presence in our lives always, there's not a moment when God is not present with us, loving us," Geary said.
　　Geary survived on celery sticks and a little water that she happened to have.
　　"And when there was no more water left I reached in my pocket and opened up one of these, my cough drops," she said.
　　Days after the elevator broke, Geary opted to use the stairs, but a week later, she fell and broke her kneecap. Now she is back to using the elevator.
　　While she is still nursing her wounds from the stairs, she is grateful for her spiritual stint stuck between floors.
　　"I was saying, 'Thank you God, this is great, I'm so glad to be in contact with you, I accept this as a gift,'" she said.
　　Geary says it has only strengthened her relationship with God.
