英语翻译
I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago.I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy.One night,just before Christmas,I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables.I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner,but I was very busy at the time.And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有价值的) in the wallet,the owner would be back.Sure enough,an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet.I asked him to describe the lost wallet,and after he described it exactly,I gave him the wallet.He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him.He asked me if I had opened it,and when I told him “no”.At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(现金).He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this.“A reward(酬劳) for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
Thinking about it later,I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet!I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it,I might keep it.But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet.The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.
几个月前,我曾在一家餐厅做过短时间的出纳员,餐厅忙的时候我还要帮忙收拾桌子. 圣诞节的前一天晚上,我在一张桌子底下发现了一个很大的黑色钱包.我想我应该打开钱包看看以便能找到失主,但那时候我实在太忙了,并且我想如果那钱包里面是很有价值的东西,它的主人会来拿回去的.果然,一个小时以后一位男士回来询问收银员是否有人找到一个钱包.我叫他描述一下他的钱包,结果发现我捡到的那个和他说的一模一样,所以我把钱包还给了他.当我把钱包交到的手上的时候,他很诚心地感谢了我.他问我有没有打开过钱包,然后我说没有.他马上把钱包打开,那里面原来装着差不多800美元的现金.令我惊讶的是他从里面拿出20美元交给我.“这是因为你诚实而得到的酬劳.”他说完以后转过身就走了.
事后想起这件事;我开始疑惑,如果我知道钱包里面有什么的话我是否还会这么诚实呢!我想如果我没有办法找到失主或者没有人回来认领它的话,我应该会自己收起来.但是我又想到,我找到钱包并把它还给失主实际上也让某人的圣诞计划可以顺利进行.这样想让我觉得很值得,那是一种用多少钱都买不来的感觉.
