英语翻译
Don't we all
I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car.I had just come from the car wash
and was waiting for my wife to get out of work.Coming my way from across the parking lot
was what society would consider a bum.
From the looks of him,he had no car,no home,no clean clothes,and no money.There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered.
This was one of those“don't want to be bothered times.”
“I hope he doesn't ask me for any money,”I thought.
He didn't.
He came and sat on the curb in front of the bus stop bu he didn't look like he could
have enough money to even ride the bus.
After a few minutes he spoke.“That's a vevy pretty car,”he said.
He was ragged but he had an air of dignity around him.His scraggly blond beard keep more
than his face warm.
I said,“thanks,”and continued wiping off my car.
He sat there quietly as I worked.The expected plea for money never came.
As the silence between us widened something inside said,“ask him if he needs any help.”
I was sure that he would say“yes”but I held true to the inner voice.
“Do you need any help?”I asked.
He answered in three simple but profound words that I shall never forget.
We often look for wisdom in great men and women,We expect it from those of higher learning
and accomplishments.
I expected nothing but an outstretched grimy hand.He spoke the three words that shook me.
“Don't we all?”he said.
I was feeling high and mighty,successful and important,above a bum in the street,until
those three word* *** me like a twelve gauge shotgun.
Don't we all?
I needed help.Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep,but I needed help.
I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare,but enough to get a warm
meal and shelter for the day.
Those three little words still ring true.No matter how much you have,no matter how much
you have accomplished,you need help too.No matter how little you have,no matter how loaded
you are with problems,even without money or a place to sleep,you can give help.
我们不都是吗?
我把车停在购物街前面,然后下来擦车.我刚刚去洗过车,现在正等着我妻子下班,这时一个通常会被社会归为乞丐的人从停车场对面向我走来.
就他的样子来看,他既没车,又没家,没有干净的衣服,也没有钱.有时候你会想做出些慷慨的慈善之举,而有时候你就是不想为自己添那个麻烦.而我正处于“不想为自己添麻烦”的时候.
“希望他别跟我要钱.”我心里想着.
他确实也没跟我要.
他走过来坐在汽车站前的马路沿上,不过看起来他连坐公交车的钱都没有.
几分钟后他开口说话了.“车子很漂亮.”他说.
我答道“谢谢.”同时继续擦我的车.
他安静的坐在那里.我本来预料他会跟我要钱,但他没有.
随着安静的气氛在我们之间蔓延开来,内心的声音对我说“问他是否需要帮助.”
我确信他会回答“是.”,但我决定听从内心的声音.“你是不是需要帮助?”我问.
我们经常在伟人身上寻找智慧,我们认为有智慧的人应该是那些有着更高学识和更大成就的人.
现在我等待的只是伸出来要钱的脏手.他却说出三个让我震撼的字.
“我们不都是吗?”他说.
在他说出这三个字之前面对这个街头乞丐我感到的就只是自己高高在上,伟大,成功和重要.这三个字像一把标准规格的散弹枪一样(.后面你打错了.)
我们不都是吗?
我需要帮助.或许不是需要人给我车费或睡觉的地方,但我的确需要帮助.
我把手伸进钱包,给了他一些钱,不仅够车费,还足够用来买热乎乎的一餐并找个地方住一天.
这三个字仍萦绕在耳边.不管你拥有什么,不管你有什么样的成就,你都需要帮助.不管你多么渺小,不管你伸出怎样的困境,甚至身无分文,或无家可归,你都可以给予帮助.
