I was living in Chicago and going thorough what was a particularly cold winter both in my personal life and the outside temperature .One evening I was walking home from a bar where I had been drinking along,feeling sorry for myself,when I saw a homeless man standing over an exhaust grate in front of a department store.He was wearing a filthy sport coat and approaching everyone who passed by for money.
在芝加哥,我经历了一个特别寒冷的冬天,一天晚上,我独自一人喝酒为自己感到难过。当我从酒吧往回走的时候,我看到一个无家可归的人站在百货公司排气炉前面,他穿着一件脏兮兮的运动上衣,走近每个路过的人要钱。
I was too immersed in my own troubles to deal with him so I crossed the street.As I went by, I looked over and saw a businessman come out of the store and pull a ski parka out of bag and hand it to the homeless man .For a moment both the man and I were frozen in time as the businessman turned and walked away.Then the man looked across the street at me.He shook his head slowly and I knew he was crying.
我自怜自爱,没工夫理会他,所以我过了马路。当我走过,看到一个商人从店里出来,从包里拿出一件滑雪外套给那个流浪汉,那个商人转身走开的那一刻,对于我和那个流浪汉来说,时间似乎都凝固住了,然后那个流浪汉在街对面看着我,他慢慢的摇了摇头,我知道她在哭。
It was the last time I have ever been able to disappear into my own sorrow.
这是我最后一次为自己难过。
