We'dgoneuptothecity,myhusbandandI,toseeafriendofhisfromcollege.Hewasdoingwellforhimse...
We'd gone up to the city, my husband and I, to see a friend of his from college. He was doing well for himself now, a businessman living in a high-class apartment on the Magnificent Mile. It was a treat for us to get away like this, on the rare occasions we could get a baby-sitter.
He met us at the parking garage (停车库) he'd recommended (推荐) and offered to pay for. "City life's great," he'd said, "except for finding a parking space." There was the slap on the back for my husband, and a kiss on the cheek for me. Then he led us out to the street for the two-block walk to his apartment.
The North Side reminded me of a refined street festival that summer night – crowds of people, somehow looking well-dressed even in jeans, strolling up and down the sidewalks, stopping in at the dozens of restaurants.
We were walking three abreast (并肩) down the sidewalk. I was on the inside, closest to the buildings, and I saw him out of the corner of my eye.
He was old, sitting on the doorstep of a store already locked for the night. He was bundled up in a dirty jacket that looked way too heavy for summer. Every few seconds, he called out to the passing people. "Got a quarter?" "Can you spare some change?"
We'd seen people like him before, of course. We'd learned not to look them in the eye, to close our ears, to walk on by. Usually they expected to be ignored. Some of them tried to make you feel guilty (内疚), though, by telling you they needed money to feed their kids.
So I steeled myself as we approached him. "Got any loose change you can spare?" he piped up.
"Get lost!" our friend shouted, looking straight ahead.
As we brushed by, I got a look at him. Gray hair; a creased (有皱痕的), worn face that, inexplicably (无法解释地), had a toothless smile on it.
Then we were past him, not missing a step in our steady stride. "I get so sick of these guys leeching off of you," our friend grumbled under his breath.
I slowed down, my steps faltering (犹豫). I had some change in my pocket. I could get it out, run back, drop it into the old man's hand, and catch up with the guys before they even knew I was gone. Or I could just tell them, "I'll be right back, guys; wait for me a second," and go back at my leisure. But then I'd have to listen to the lecture about being too soft-hearted and handing out money to any guy with a sob story to tell. 展开

我们已经去这个城市,我丈夫和我,看到他的一个朋友从大学。他正在做适合自己现在,住在高档公寓上辉煌的一英里的一位商人。它是一种享受我们像这样,在罕见的情况下,我们就可以把保姆逃脱。
他会见了美国在车库他曾建议,并主动提出赔偿。"城市生活是伟大的"他说,"除了为"找到停车。有给我的丈夫,背面的耳光和一个吻我的脸颊上。然后他领我们到街上两座散步到他的公寓。
北面提醒我一个精致的街头节日当晚夏季 — — 成群的人,不知怎么看穿着得体,即使在牛仔裤、 向上和向下人行道散步、 在停在食肆的几十。
我们正在马路上并排走三。我在里面,楼宇内,最近,我看见他的眼角。
他是老了,已锁定过夜的一家商店的门前的台阶上坐着。他被捆绑脏的夹克,夏天看得太重。每隔几秒钟,他叫过往的行人。"有四分之一吗?""您能抽出一些零钱吗?"
我们当然看到了像他之前,这样的人。我们学会了不看着他们的眼睛,关闭我们的耳朵,由上行走。通常,它们将被忽略。一些人企图使你感到内疚,不过,告诉你,他们需要钱给孩子们送去。
所以我坚持自己当我们走近他。"有你能匀出任何零钱吗?"他脱口而出。
"滚开 !"我们喊了起来,看着前方的朋友。
我们吹拂的时候,我看着他。白发 ;褶皱、 破旧的脸,令人费解的是,有一个老掉牙的微笑。
然后我们都已成过去,他不会错过我们稳步跨越迈出的一步。"我明白你依附这些家伙真讨厌,"我们的朋友抱怨下他的气息。
我慢了下来,我蹒跚的脚步。我在我的口袋里了一些变化。我可以取出来、 跑回、 放到老人的手,和那些家伙追前他们还不知道去了。或者可以告诉他们,"我会在右背部,专家 ;等我一秒,"并返回在我的休闲。但是,然后将不得不听讲座正太心软的钱交给一个悲伤的故事告诉任何人。
(我翻译的准对,你给我5悬赏有点少)
