Just recently I had been wondering
if there was much point in doing
little acts of kindness.So often
they get ignored,and occasionally
they come back to bite you!
Then,just last week,after a long
day of travelling,dragging
suitcases behind me,I found
myself delayed at a bus station.
The bus was running four hours
late!So,I guess I wasn’t in the
best of moods.
That’s when a woman asked me if
I had any spare change to help her
get a bus ticket.
“Oh,sure,” I said,more than a
little sarcastically.“How much
would you like?”
As I spoke I mentally kicked
myself for my attitude and
reached into my bag for some
money.As I handed her five
dollars I heard her stomach
rumble.This was no gentle,
ladylike murmer.This had the
growl of real hunger!
I reached back into my bag and
brought out a Danish pastry I had
bought earlier.I handed it to her
with a smile I hoped would make
up for my earlier tone of voice.
Getting a good look at her now,I
realised she was exhausted,like
she had had several months of
hard days!
As she took the Danish a look of
relief washed over her and I
thought she was going to cry.In
her appreciation she tried to give
me all she had to spare – a
Milwaukee bus ticket!I don’t live
in Milwaukee and the ticket will
probably never be used,but I took
it in the spirit it was given.
She went to get her ticket and I
went back to my book.
A few minutes later she came
back over,apologised,and told
me she was still five dollars short.
I grabbed some singles from my
bag – and slipped a twenty in
there as well.Of course,the voice
in my head told me I was being a
fool.
She thanked me and went back to
the counter.Again I went back to
my book.
Five minutes later she came back
again and tried to return my
twenty.When I said it was for her
so she could get something else to
eat besides the Danish,that I was
completely serious and I wasn't
taking it back,she started crying
and hugged me.
From now on,when I wonder if it
is worth trying to help someone I
will remember that woman.
Maybe I really am making a
difference for someone.
So,sure,sometimes my efforts
might not be noticed,and
sometimes they might still come
back to bite me,but it’s worth all
of that for the times we actually do
help another human being!

我最近在想我们是不是应该经常的做点善事.
我们的善举常会被忽视,而且偶尔麻烦事会不断.
就在上个星期,经过一整天的奔波,我拖着行李箱来到了汽车站,我发现自己被滞留在了车站.汽车要推迟四小时出发!得知这消息我有点不太高兴.就在这时一个女人问我是否有零钱帮她买张车票.“可以”我冷冰冰地说“需要多少?”我一边收敛自己的态度一边从口袋里掏钱.当我给她五美元时我听到她的肚子咕咕的叫.这不是优雅的女士的表现.她真的很饿了.我又从包里拿出了我之前买的丹麦酥皮饼.我笑着把酥饼给她,以弥补之前的冷冰冰的口气.我仔细的看着她,我意识到她非常的虚弱,就像好几个月没有好好饱餐一顿.当她看到递过来的酥饼时她泪眼朦胧就快要哭了.她想把她仅有的一张去往密尔沃基的车票给我以示感激.我不住在密尔沃基所以我用不着这张车票,但我还是心领了.之后她去买票了我继续看我的书.几分钟后她又回来,抱歉的告诉我她还缺五美元.我抓过我的包来,有20美元从包里掉了出来.我的脑袋里响起一个声音嘲讽自己是个傻瓜.她谢过我之后又去了柜台,我继续看我的书.五分钟后她又回来要把剩下的钱还我.当我郑重的把钱还给她,告诉她说可以用这些钱给自己买点其他的东西吃时,她开始哭泣并拥抱着我.从那时起,每当我想是否应该帮助其他人时我就会想起那个女人.或许对别人来说我的帮助有很大的意义.所以,尽管有时我的帮助会被忽视,有时候麻烦事会不断出现,但我们真正帮助其他人这些帮助还是有价值的.
