I volunteer at a free café feeding homeless and hungry people. One day, a frail lady in her late 40s wearing many layers of clothing walked up and down the line of people waiting to be served, handing out little candy hearts.
我在一家给流浪的无家可归的人提供食物的咖啡厅做义工。一天,一个将近50岁看起来很虚弱的女人,衣衫褴褛地在排队等食物的人中间走来走去,分发着糖果心。
She sat at my table and told me her story: Once her children were grown, her husband had severely beaten her and cast her into the street.
她在我的桌子旁边坐下来,说起了自己的事情: 她的孩子长大了之后,他的丈夫开始毒打她,并把她赶出了家门。
After she became homeless, she learned that he had given her AIDS. She knew she was dying, but gave out candy hearts to try and bring happiness into every person's day.
在她无家可归之后,她才知道她的丈夫把艾滋病传染给了她。她知道自己活不了多久,但还是每天分发糖果心想要把快乐带到每个人的生活中。
