双语美文：一辆拖车就足够了

For weeks I worked repairing the outside of a run down home几个星期以来，我的工作都是修缮一幢破旧的房子，

I kept noticing the same man riding an old bike pulling a make shift cart, often filled with cans and junk.我经常看到一个男人，他骑着一辆旧旧的自行车，后面拉着一辆简易的推车，推车里经常装满了垃圾罐等垃圾

Eventually his bike broke, and for days I saw him struggling to walk the bike and loaded cart up and down the road.最后他的自行车坏了，接连几天，我都看到他费力的推着自行车，后面拖着装满垃圾的推车，艰难的在马路上来来去去

I asked if I could help by fixing his bike (it was beyond repair).

我问他是否需要我帮他修理自行车（其实那辆车已经坏的不能修了）

I noticed he had some sort of disability, but his respect for others, kindness and humility shown more brightly.

我注意到他身体有些残疾，但他很尊重他人，态度友善，不卑不亢，这些品质更加引人注目

He politely declined, saying he was happy walking.

他委婉的拒绝了我的帮助，说自己很乐意步行。

I insisted and showed him a picture of a garden wagon I could get him for his heavy loads.

但我执意到帮助他，还提出我可以送给他一辆花园货车，可以用来拖运他的东西，还把货车的照片给他看。

He didn't want to impose , but I saw his eyes light up at the picture.

他说不想给我添麻烦，可是我发现，他看到照片的时候，眼睛亮了起来

He finally accepted my offer.

他最终接受了我的帮助

Finding he lived with his mother, I delivered the wagon there.

我得知他跟他的母亲住在一起，我把货车寄到了那里

They were delighted far beyond what little I did for him.

两人大喜过望，相比之下，我为他所做的根本不算什么

Each day he came by with his wagon load, at a brisk pace, we smiled and waved.

每天他都会推着推车从我眼前经过，步伐轻快，我们相互微笑，还对对方招手

I don't know about his load, but my heart was much lighter.

我不知道他拖运的东西有没有变轻，但我感觉自己的心情松快了很多
