分析 翻译：
当飞机刚刚起飞时，一位乘客告诉空姐，他需要一杯水．她告诉他她很快就把水给他带来．二十分钟后，当旅客的寻求服务的铃声响起时，空姐立刻意识到这一点．她很忙，她忘了给他拿水了．因此，乘客推迟服用他的药．她带着一杯水匆匆忙忙赶到他面前，但他拒绝了．在接下来的几个小时的飞行中，每一次空姐经过这位乘客，她会带着微笑问他是否需要帮助．但这位乘客从来没有注意到她说的话．当他准备下飞机的时候，这位乘客请空姐把意见薄交给他．她很难过．她知道他会写下苛刻的话．但她微笑着递给了他．下了飞机，她打开意见薄，让我们微笑，乘客写的是：在飞行中，你一共12次问我是否需要帮助．我怎能拒绝你的十二个真诚的微笑？是的！这是空姐的十二个微笑感动了这位乘客．
