59. The Useless and Lazy Man 没用的懒人
Mitchell buys a cup of coffee at his local café every morning. He always sees the same homeless man sitting outside. This man waits for people to come out. He asks everyone for change. Although the homeless man is very friendly, Mitchell does not like him. "He is useless and lazy," Mitchell always said.
米切尔每天早上都会在当地的咖啡馆买一杯咖啡,他总是看见那同一个流浪汉坐在外面。他会等人出来,然后向每个人要零钱。虽然这个流浪汉很友好,但是米切尔不喜欢他,他总是说,“他是个没用的懒人”
One morning, Mitchell was running late to work. He stormed out of the café doors. Then, he ran across the street to his car. Since he was in a hurry, he did not check for traffic. Suddenly all he saw was a big white truck about to run him over. Luckily, the homeless man pushed Mitchell out of the way just in time to save his life. Mitchell gave him five dollars every morning after that.
一天早上,米切尔上班要迟到了,他冲出了咖啡馆,然后跑向马路对面自己的车子。由于他很急,所以他没有看两边的车,突然他看到一辆白色的卡车正要把他碾过去。幸运的是,那个流浪汉及时地把米切尔推到了路边,救了他的命。从那以后,米切尔每天早上都给他5美元。
