English Summary/英文概要： Meet Elliott. Elliott is something of a genius. He is hugely intelligent. He’s an incredible observer. He is able to memorise and categorise in astonishing detail. He has a beautiful and unusual imagination. More than that, Elliott is an ideal friend. He is overflowing with compassion and warmth and fun. To know him is to adore him. But few people do know Elliott, properly. Because Elliott is also stuck. He lives in a wheelchair in an orphanage.
Its 1979. Elliott is forced to spend his days in an empty corridor, either gazing out of the window at the birds in a tree or staring into a white wall wherever the Catholic Sisters who run the ward have decided to park him. So when Jim, blind and mute but also headstrong, arrives on the ward and begins to defy the Sisters restrictive rules, Elliott finally sees a chance for escape. Individually, the unloved, unvalued orphans will stay just where they are; together, they could achieve a magnificent freedom if only for a few hours. But how can Elliott, unable to move or speak clearly, communicate all this to Jim? How can he even get Jim to know he exists?
Patience is a remarkable story of love and friendship, courage and adventure and finding joy in the most unlikely of settings. Elliott and Jim are going to have some fun.

那是1979年。埃利奥特被迫在一条空荡荡的走廊里度过他的日子，他要么凝视窗外树上的鸟儿，要么盯着一堵白色的墙，那里是管理病房的天主教修女们决定将他安置的地方。所以当那个又瞎又哑但是固执的吉米来到病房，并开始反抗修女们的限制性规则时，埃利奥特终于看到了一个逃跑的机会。根据个人情况，不被爱、不被重视的孤儿将留在此处；只要一起努力，他们也能获得巨大大自由，哪怕是只有几个小时。但是对于埃利奥特这样一个无法走路而且连话都说不清的人如何和吉米进行沟通？他甚至如何能让吉米知道自己的存在呢？
《耐心》讲述了一个关于爱和友谊、勇气和冒险以及在最不可能的环境中寻找快乐的非凡故事。埃利奥特和吉米会玩得很开心。（XMM）
