This was several years ago, but I remember this kindness very clearly. 这是几年前的事情了，但我还清晰的记得自己感受到的友善。 I was at a Jiffy Lube one morning getting an oil change for my car, 有天早上，我在汽车保养店里给车换机油 and an older man with a heavy Southern drawl came in. 一个老人走进店里，说话拖着深沉的南方长音。 They were busy, so after ten minutes or so, he starts up small talk with me. 店里的人很忙，大概十分钟之后，他开始跟我闲聊起来 I find out he's from Texas, traveling with a construction crew . 我了解到，他来自德克萨斯州，跟一支施工队一起来到这里 jokingly say "You must make good money to drive that beautiful truck. 我开玩笑道，“你开的卡车真漂亮，想来你一定收入不菲 Tell me how to get in to the field!" “告诉我，怎么做才能走向成功？” He says yes, but it wasn't easy to get there. 他说自己的收入确实还不错，可是想要到这一步却并非易事。 I tell him I'm in my second year of teaching 我告诉他，这是我教书生涯的第二年 and haven't gotten there yet, 我离人生成功还差得远 so if he needs some part-time help, I could use the work. |
