我在喬氏超市連鎖店排著隊,排在我前面女孩的銀行卡因為余額不足被退回了,于是她不好意思地遞給收銀員另一張卡,但還是因為同樣的理由被退回了,最后她又拿出了一張卡,但余額顯示只有5.47美元。
She asked the cashier to cancel the transaction. The cashier motions for manager. I smile and offer to pay the balance, which was $20 something dollars.
無奈之下,她只能讓收銀員取消交易。收銀員示意了經理。我微笑了一下,然后幫女孩付了余款。
The woman was very thankful, the cashier was happy.
女孩很感激,收銀員看到這一幕感到非常欣喜。
On my way out the manager handed me a bouquet of mixed flowers. He didn't say anything, just held the flowers out to me.
就在我走出超市時,經理遞給了我一束花。但他什么也沒說,只是把花遞給了我。
I saw he was overcomed with emotion. I suspected that if he opened his mouth he would start to cry. I accepted the flowers with thanks and walked out feeling that, for just a few moments, the world had become a better place.
我看得出他是在克制情緒。我甚至懷疑他一旦張開嘴巴就會開始哭起來。我收下了花,并向他道謝。在我走出超市的那一刻,感覺世界都美好了起來。
