翻译I was in line waiting to pay
I was in line waiting to pay. In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we learnt that he was going to a kindergarten(幼儿园) party. He had done a great job of putting together interesting costumes.
I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change(零钱). It seemed that he had robbed his pig bank(猪形储蓄罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was short after counting all the money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the shirt and I will come back with more money. “
It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was $ 8.00 short. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that. “I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills(纸币) and we needed the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react(反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!”
I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this. “ The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I was left with a good feeling. I had seen the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It sure feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes !”
“我在排着队等着交钱,我前面有两个人.一个小男孩在那买非常奇怪的衣服.他还和任何对那件衣服感兴趣的人说话.很快我们了解到他要去参加幼儿园里举办的一场聚会.他已经很成功地把各个有趣的服装搭配到一起了.
我注意到小男孩主要是用零钱买衣服,看来他是把自己的小储蓄罐掏空了来买这些衣服.然而出纳员数完钱后告诉他钱不够.小男孩想了一会说:‘帮我把衬衫留着,我回去取更多的钱来.’
很明显,他已经用光了所有的钱,但还是少8美元.我前面的女士说:‘我为你付一半的钱吧!’我也告诉小男孩我给他付另一半.我们便都把手伸到兜里去拿钱.但是我们两个人都只有十元的纸币,只能让出纳员给我们找钱了.其他的顾客也到包里去找自己的零钱.所有人都有这样的想法,真是让人惊讶又感动.每个人都希望自己可以帮助别人.很快,出纳员说:‘我这钱太多了!’他不需要我们拿出10美元的钞票了.然后我前面的第一个提出帮助小男孩的女士说,等一下,我还没有得到这个机会给小男孩出钱呢!
我对她笑笑,说:‘你已经出了你的一份’,因为这是你的主意,是你引起我们大家来出钱的.小男孩笑着感谢我们.我们都祝他好运,然后他离开了.我也很高兴地离开了.我感受到了我们身边的他人付出的爱和善意.我前面的女士说:‘给予的感觉相当好了,不是吗?’我笑着回应她:‘当然!’”
