英语翻译
The day was Thankful Thursday.It’s a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago.Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive contribution.
My girls shouted “McDonald’s,McDonald’s” as we drove along a busy Houston road.Suddenly I realized that almost every crossing I passed through was occupied by a panhandler（乞丐）.【And then it hit me!】 All these panhandlers must be hungry,too.Perfect!After we ate,I ordered an additional fifteen lunches and we set out to deliver them.We would pull aside a panhandler,make a contribution,and tell him or her that we hoped things got better.Then we’d say,“Oh,by the way --- here’s lunch.”
请标准翻译【】里的句子.尤其是hit在句中的翻译,如果你不确定,请不要回答.
