答案

《Do you have any change》
Several years ago I was at a train station in Amsterdam waiting in line to buy a ticket.I saw a young homeless man asking people for money so he could buy breakfast.Most of the travelers simply ignored the young man or gave him a dirty look[厌恶地看人].There was one exception though:an older,well-dressed businessman.When approached by the panhandler[行乞者],the gentleman looked straight into his eyes and quietly asked,“How much will you need?” I couldn’t hear what the young man said but watched as the old man pulled several bills from his wallet and placed them in the young man’s hands.
I don’t know if the young man actually used this money for breakfast or for some other purpose.What I do know is that I witnessed two completely different reactions to the same situation.I saw people who were either afraid or annoyed or distrustful[猜疑的].And then I saw this old man who treated the homeless man as though he were a brother.I decided then and there that,even though we have to be careful in this world,I would rather be like him.
May this day bring us many opportunities for kindness...
很多年前我在阿姆斯特丹火车站排队买票.我看到一个年轻的流浪汉在向人讨钱买早餐.大多数旅行者要么忽视他要么以一种厌恶的表情看着他.除了一个特例：一位年长的穿着考究的商人.这位绅士靠近流浪汉,直视他的眼睛轻轻地问道：”你需要多少钱?“我听不到那位年轻人说了些什么,但是我看到那位长者从他的钱包里拿了数美元放到年轻人的手里.
我不知道年轻人是否真的用那些钱买了早晨或者用于其它用途.我所知道的是我目睹了对同一情形的两种截然不同的反应.我看到人们要么害怕要么厌恶要么猜疑.之后我又看我那位长者像兄弟一样对待那位年轻人.从那时起,我做出决定：即使在这个世界上我们应该小心谨慎,我还是会像那位长者那样去做.
希望上天能带给善良的人更多好运...
