I was riding the subway and happened to be seated between two young guys.我当时正在坐地铁,我两边各坐了一个年轻的男孩。

The one on the right eyed the slightly grungy Band?Aid on my thumb and said, “You should really change that, you know. You have to keep it clean.”坐在右邊的男孩看了下我大拇指上已經有點髒的創可貼,然後說:“你知道嗎?你真的該把它換一換了。你得讓那裏保持幹淨。”

Then the one on my left said, “Here, I have one,” and pulled a fresh Band?Aid out of his knapsack. “I keep them on me because I’m always hurting myself.” 然後,坐在我左邊的男孩說:“我這有一個,拿去吧,”接著,他從背包裏拿出了一個新的邦迪創可貼。“我通常都帶著它們,因爲我經常把自己弄傷。”

Incredulous, I thanked him, changed my bandage, and got off at my stop feeling pretty good about people, life, and New York City.帶著懷疑的態度,我感謝了他,然後換掉了我的創可貼;當我下車的時候,我心情很好,同時覺得其他人、生命、紐約市都好棒。

There is kindness in this world everywhere.世界上到处都有善良。

And there is evil.同时也有邪恶。

They take turns come to you.它们会轮流出现在你的生命中。

You need to learn to see the good things hiding in all those tiny corner of your life.你需要学习,才能看到那些潜藏在你生命各个角落中的美好事物。
