【解析】

1.作者無(wú)力“承擔(dān)”給孩子購(gòu)買任何生日禮物的費(fèi)用， 傷心欲絕。

2.作者由于沒(méi)有錢給孩子購(gòu)買生日禮物“所以”決定求助于網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

3.作者把自己的“愿望”發(fā)布在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上， 希望能得到網(wǎng)友的幫助。

4.作者想讓網(wǎng)友給兒子“寄”生日卡片。

5.作者的兒子喜歡“查看”郵箱， 希望里面有寄給自己的東西。

6.作者“認(rèn)為”如果兒子能收到幾張卡片， 心中也許能得到慰藉。

7.兒子不會(huì)因?yàn)樽髡邿o(wú)力購(gòu)買禮物而那么“難過(guò)”。

8.根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知賀卡源源不斷地寄來(lái)。此處 pour 表示 “涌來(lái)”。

9.上文提到作者的兒子喜歡查看郵箱， 此時(shí)賀卡雪片般飛來(lái)， 由此可知他是“極其”興奮。

10.這種情況“持續(xù)”了大約三個(gè)星期。go away“離開(kāi)”； “離開(kāi)” go off“熄滅；走火”；go up“增長(zhǎng)”。

11.作者因?yàn)樽约簾o(wú)力給孩子購(gòu)買生日禮物而感到愧疚， 所以看到他臉上的微笑和眼里閃耀著的光芒時(shí)，禁不住“淚水”漣漣。

12.作者的兒子知道自己家的窘?jīng)r， 而且上文也提到了作者沒(méi)有給他買生日禮物， 由此可知他“已經(jīng)”知道了不會(huì)有太多的圣誕節(jié)禮物。

13.finances“(個(gè)人可動(dòng)用的)錢；財(cái)力”。

14.盡管如此，這對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)似乎并不“重要”。

15.上文提到網(wǎng)友送給他的賀卡讓他高興不己， 所以他也想給其他孩子帶去“微笑”。

16.作者的兒子因?yàn)樨毟F而接受了別人的恩惠， 所以他想幫助其他“貧苦的”家庭的孩子。

17.他要把卡片郵寄給窮人的孩子， 因此要把棒棒糖放在“卡片”中。

18.這樣做又“帶給”他上文提到的那種微笑和眼睛里閃耀著的光芒。

19.作者一直為自己的兒子感到“自豪”。

20.作者的兒子和“Wish Upon A Hero”這個(gè)網(wǎng)站使作者重新燃起了世界上仍然有人關(guān)心他人的“希望”。
