Andrew Chen never gave money to beggars. “People should work for money,” he believed. He also believed there was work for everyone, which was not true. 陈安鲁从来不给乞丐钱。他认为,人应该工作赚钱。他还错误地认为,每个人都是会有工作的。
One day when he waiting for a bus, a beggar came up and asked him for money. The beggar was an old woman wearing very old and dirty clothes. She had no shoes and she was selling some sweet-smelling flowers. 有一天,他正在等公车,一个乞丐走上前来,向他讨钱。这个乞丐是一个老妇人,穿着一件又旧又脏的衣服,没穿鞋。她卖的花气味芳香。
“Give an old woman ten dollars, mister,” she said to Andrew. “I haven’t had a meal for three days.” “给我十美元吧,先生。”她向陈安鲁恳求道,“我已经三天没吃饭了。”
“I’m not giving you ten dollars,” Andrew said. “我不会给你十美元的。”陈安鲁道。
“What about five dollars, then, mister,” the poor old woman said. “That’ll buy me a couple of pieces of bread.”
“那么,给五美元呢,先生?”穷苦的老妇人继续恳求,“那够我买两块面包的了。”
“No,” Andrew said. “不给。”陈安鲁拒绝道。
“Then what about one dollar,” the old woman said. “I can buy an orange for one dollar.”
“那么,一美元?”老妇人继续,“一美元我可以买一个橘子啦。”
“I haven’t got one dollar,” Andrew said, “Now go away.”
“我没有一美元,请你走开。”陈安鲁说。
The old looked at him sadly, and then gave him her flowers.
老妇人悲哀地注视着他,然后把她的花都给了陈安鲁。
“Here, mister,” she said. “You have these. You need them more than I do.”
“给你,先生。”老妇人说道:“拿着这些花,你比我更需要它们。”
