My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket."
接着,父亲弯腰把那张钞票又捡了起来,拍了拍前面那位父亲的肩膀,说:"先生,打扰一下,这是从您口袋里掉出来的."
The man knew what was going on. He wasnt begging for a handout but certainly appreciated the help in a desperate, heartbreaking, embarrassing situation. He looked straight into my dads eyes, took my dads hand in both of his, squeezed tightly onto the$20 bill, and with his lip quivering and a tear running down his cheek, he replied, "Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family."
这位先生立刻领会了父亲的意思.他并没有乞求施舍,但在这种绝望、令人伤心和尴尬的窘境中,有人向他伸出援助之手,他绝对感激不已.他凝视着父亲的眼睛,握着父亲的手,把手里那张二十美元攥得紧紧的.他的嘴唇颤抖了,一滴泪水滑过脸颊,说:"谢谢,谢谢您,先生.您帮了我,也帮了我们全家."
My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didnt go to the circus that night, but we didnt go without.
之后,父亲开车带我回家了.虽然那天晚上我们没看成马戏,但我们并没白跑一趟.
