求翻译(不要翻译网站那种)
When I was seventeen, I found a watch while walking down the hallway of my high school. As I picked it up , greed( 贪心) suddenly came over me and I decided to keep it.
When I got home from school, I found my mother cooking dinner in the kitchen. I proudly held out my prize for her to see. Mom was angry that I had kept the watch instead of turning it in. Mom then ordered me to drive straight back to the school and take the watch to someone at the office. I started to argue, but after taking a good look at the expression on Mom’s face, I realized that it would get me nowhere.
As time passed,I forgot all about the watch until four years later.
While I was attending college, I had managed to get a job at a Walmart pushing carts off the parking lot. One morning, I found a checkbook that had been left in a shopping cart. Immediately, I gave it to the employee there so that the customer(顾客) who had lost it could pick it up.
Later, as I was outside pushing carts, a man came up to me and told me that his wife had left their checkbook in a shopping cart the night before. When he told me his name, I realized that he was the owner of the checkbook I had found. I explained to him that he could go inside and claim it at the service desk. The look on the man’s face was full of thankfulness. He pulled out his wallet and offered me some cash(现金), but I refused. I was proud of myself, prouder than I had been in a long time, and I wasn’t about to let something like money ruin(毁灭)that.
Suddenly, the lesson my mom had taught me that day came into focus. Mom wanted to make sure that her son would always be honest. Because of her, I did the right thing when I found that checkbook. Because of her, I had been rewarded with a feeling of self-worth that no amount of money could buy.
我十七岁时,在高中的走廊上走时发现了一只手表。当我把它捡起来时,心中闪过一个贪婪的念头:我要把它占为己有。
当我从学校回到家时,我妈妈正在厨房做晚饭,我骄傲地拿出我的战利品给她看。妈妈对于我没有把它上交,反而留下的这只表感到非常生气。她命令我回学校把表交给办公室里的老师。一开始我和母亲争辩,但我仔细的看了看妈妈的表情,我明白我的争辩是无用功。
时光流逝,我早已忘记关于这只表的事,直到四年后的某天。
我上大学后,曾在沃尔玛工作,负责把购物车推出停车点。一天早上,我在一个购物车里发现了一本被遗漏的支票簿。我马上把它交给了老板以便遗失它的顾客可以回来找到它。后来,当我在外面推购物车时,一个男人朝我走来并且告诉我,他的妻子昨天晚上购物时把支票簿遗失了。当他告诉我他的名字时,我明白他就是那本支票簿的主人。我向他解释,他可以在超市里的服务台处认领他的东西,他的脸上露出了感谢的神情。他掏出钱包想要给我些现金,但我拒绝了。我为自己感动骄傲,比从前所有的时候都要骄傲,并且我不会让金钱之类的东西毁了它。
突然,我想起了那天妈妈给我上的那节课。妈妈想要确定她的儿子会永远诚实。正因为她,我才在发现那本支票簿时做出了正确的事。正因为她,我才收获了用多少金钱都买不到的自我价值。
