英语美文:选择善良,你便是最美的风景
It was a beautiful, sunny, Spring day. I had just
finished driving my daughter to the airport to catch an early morning flight.
这是一个阳光明媚的美好春日。我刚刚开车送女儿去机场赶早班飞机。
My sons and I then went to a fast food place for /peakfast before heading back home.
在回家之前,我和儿子们去一家快餐店吃了早饭。
After eating we all got into the car and pulled out of the parking lot.
进餐后,我们回到车里,并将车驶出停车场。
The restaurant was at the very top of a hill. At the bottom of the hill was a stop sign so we found ourselves at the end of a long line of traffic waiting while the cars at the bottom turned onto the main road one at a time.
餐馆在山顶,在山底有个禁止通行的标志,我们排在等待通行一条长队的最后面,而位于山底的车子每次只有一辆能开上主路。 As I looked down to the bottom of the hill my eyes saw an elderly man standing by the stop sign.
就在我向山下张望的时候,注意到一位长者就站在禁止通行标志的旁边。
His clothes were old and worn. He held a cardboard sign with the words: Need Help Please! written on it.
他衣衫褴褛,手举着写有“请帮帮我”的牌子。
My heart went out to him and I imagined myself in his situation.
我的心不由得被他牵动,想象着如果我是他面对这这样的处境会怎样。
As car after car turned onto the road without stopping for him, I reached for my wallet to look for whatever cash was left in it.
驶入主路的车辆并没有因为这位老人而停留,我寻摸着钱包,然后打开看看里面还有多少现金。
As I was pulling it out of my pocket, though, I saw a young woman walk up to him along the side of the road. 就在我把钱包从口袋里拿出来的时候,我看到一位姑娘朝着老人走去。
She was carrying a bag full of take out food from the restaurant I was just at. I watched as the old man thanked
the young girl and smiled as she reached in to give him a hug. 她手上提着一袋食物,就是从我刚刚吃早餐的店里买的。姑娘走到老人跟前给了他一个拥抱,老人微笑着向姑娘道谢,这个切我都看在眼里。
Suddenly a loud HONK! from the car behind me made me realize that I hadn't been moving forward, because this simple choice for kindness had so captured my attention and my heart.
突然我听到一声从后面车子传来的鸣笛声。刚才姑娘举手之劳的善意深深打动了我,我光顾着看了,忘了把车子往前开。
