I Paid For A Young Woman's Groceries
我爲一個女孩買了雜貨
I was in line at Trader Joe's and the young woman in front of me had her card declined, sheembarrassedlyhanded thecashieranother card, which was also declined and then a final card that was approved for just $5.47.
我在喬氏超市連鎖店排着隊，排在我前面女孩的銀行卡因爲餘額不足被退回了，於是她不好意思地遞給收銀員另一張卡，但還是因爲同樣的'理由被退回了，最後她又拿出了一張卡，但餘額顯示只有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，然後幫女孩付了餘款。
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。但他什麼也沒說，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.
我看得出他是在剋制情緒。我甚至懷疑他一旦張開嘴巴就會開始哭起來。我收下了花，並向他道謝。在我走出超市的那一刻，感覺世界都美好了起來。
