英语翻译
When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order,my mother would pen a note—"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically (魔术般) appear.All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea a nd telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete (竞争).Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practiced to have a delivery service.Recently,an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门 廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
上世纪60年代我生长在美国新泽西州,当时我们有一个送奶工,他叫巴塞尔先生,他戴着一顶白帽子驾驶着一辆白卡车.作为一个5岁的男孩,我目不转睛地盯着固定在他腰带上零钱袋.一天在他送货的时候他注意到了这些,并拿下一只零钱袋送给我.当然他不仅仅送牛奶,还送奶酪,鸡蛋等等.如果我们需要改变订单,我妈妈会写下一张纸条“下次送货时增加一瓶脱脂奶”,然后把纸条放在牛奶瓶的盒子里.然后下次脱脂奶就会魔术般地出现了,所有这些都很方便.每一家与他们的送奶工都保持着良好的关系.巴塞尔先生甚至有我们家的钥匙,这是为了在天冷的时候可以把奶放在家里,这样牛奶就不会冻住.我记得很多次看见巴塞尔先生在我家的厨房桌子旁休息,喝着茶聊着他的送奶经历.今天家庭送奶业很不景气,大公司生产了更便宜的牛奶,这使得送奶工的竞争更加激烈.而且牛奶到处都可以买到,渐渐地就不需要送奶服务了.最近,我在乡下看见了一个牛奶箱勾起了我童年的回忆,我把它带回家把它放在后门廊上.每次我儿子的朋友问起这是什么,我就开始讲述我的童年生活,关于送奶工因为牛奶和我们结下的友谊
