01
When I was laid off years ago, with my wife and two kids to feed, someone would send me either $100 cash or a grocery gift card in the mail.
那是很多年前的事情。那时我下岗了，还有妻子和两个孩子要养活，有人给我寄钱，有时候是100美元，有时候是杂货店购物卡。
It came every 1-2 weeks with no return address. To this day I have no idea who was sending it.
每一两周就会寄来一次，但信件上都没有寄信人地址。直到现在我都不知道是谁寄的。

When I was 12, I was on my way back home from school. While crossing the road, I got hit by this driver…The driver fled the scene.
12岁的时候，有一次我从学校回家，过马路的时候被一辆车撞了… 肇事司机逃逸了。
The guy who took care of me [after the accident] was so mad about the driver fleeing the scene, that he actually put some advertisements in a few national newspapers, describing the car, and where the car might have possibly been damaged.
有一个人在事故之后一直照顾我，并且对肇事司机逃逸的行为非常生气，甚至在几家全国性报纸上刊登广告，描述肇事车的外形以及车有可能损坏的部位。
After 3 days, the guy turned himself in, claiming that the advertisement lead people to figure out what he did and threaten him. So a random stranger spent quite some money on getting an advertisement out so the guy who ran me over could be found.
三天后，肇事司机自首了，他称广告让人们知道了他干的事情，这让他很害怕。所以一个陌生人花钱登了广告，就为了找到撞我的人。

In London one day, a guy handed me an all-day underground/bus pass without saying a word. It was like, 9:00 AM, so I used it pretty much all day long.
有一次在伦敦，有个人什么也没说就给了我一张全日地铁/公交票。那时候大概是早上9点，所以我那一整天都在用这张票。

When I was three, my parents were absolutely poor. My dad was getting his Ph.D., mom had two babies and tried to work as she could, student debt, etc.
三岁的时候，我父母很穷。那时爸爸正在读博，妈妈带着两个孩子，同时还要努力地偿还学生贷款。
They once spent the last bit of money they dug out of couch cushions and car floorboards to get us a little bit of rice, beans, milk, etc.
有一次，他们把从沙发垫和汽车底板里抠出来的最后一点钱买了一点米，大豆，牛奶等。
When we got home from church one Sunday morning our porch was filled with brown paper sacks of groceries! To this day, my parents still never found out who put them there.
一个星期天早上，我们从教堂回到家的时候发现门口放满了几个纸袋的生活用品！直到今天，我父母都不知道是谁放的。

Pretty much anyone who helped us out in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina…The doctor who remained behind at the hospital to keep all the pets alive.
所有在卡里娜飓风灾害后帮助过我们的陌生人…那个留在医院照顾所有宠物的医生。
When we were evacuated, it was humans only, no animals. We had to leave our dog. One doctor refused to leave, so the National Guard kept boating in animal food to keep them going. Eventually, the company sent in boats and helicopters (Matthew McConaughey was actually on scene) to get all the pets out.
撤离的时候，只撤离人，不撤离动物，所以我们不得不把狗留在那里。但是有一个医生不愿意撤离，所以国民警卫队一直运送动物的粮食进去，维续他们的生命。最后，公司派出船只和直升机把所有的宠物运送出来了（马修麦康纳也在现场）。

When I was 12 or 13, I bailed hard rollerblading down a big hill on a busy street, busted my knee open pretty good. People just kept passing by before an old couple finally stopped to help me…
十二三岁的时候，我穿着轮滑鞋经过一条繁忙的街道，下坡的时候狠狠地摔了一跤，把膝盖摔破了。路过的行人没有人停下脚步，直到一对老夫妇停下来帮助我…
Fast forward two weeks and I've got 10 stitches in my knee, using crutches to walk. I get called down to the office and the principal hands me a card and a giftwrapped box. I read the card and it's the old couple wishing me well and a speedy recovery. In the box, a discman. My first ever.
两周后，我膝盖上缝了10针，走路得拄着拐杖。我被叫到办公室，校长交给我一张卡片和一个包装成礼物的盒子。我读了卡片，写的是老夫妇对我的问候，希望我早日康复。盒子里是一个随身听。这是我第一个随身听。
A few days after that, my family and I went to their house to thank them for helping me and the gift. Never heard from them again but I'll always remember them!
几天后，我和家人拜访了他们，感谢他们对我的帮助和礼物。此后我们再也没有联系，但是我永远不会忘记他们!

I waitressed in an Italian restaurant and one of my customers and I got to chatting about movies and books, he suggested I read Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. So I said I'd go to the bookstore across from the restaurant the next day and look for it.
我在一家意大利餐厅做服务员，一个顾客跟我聊起了电影和书籍，他推荐我读雷夫恩格的《静如止水》。我说我明天会到餐厅对面的书店里去找这本书。
When I walked into the bookstore, wearing my waitress uniform, the clerk asked in my name was susandeath, when I said yes, she told me a guy had come in earlier and ordered the book for me, and that it would arrive in two weeks. I never saw that customer again, but he was right, the book is worth reading.
当我穿着餐厅制服走进书店时，店员问我是不是叫susandeath，我说是的。她告诉我，有一位男士早些时候过来给我订了这本书，书两周内会送到。我没有再见过这位顾客，但是他说得对，这本书值得一读。

My twin brother and I were about four, my younger sister still only 12 months old. My mom worked days and my dad worked nights and they both spent their time off (when they should have been sleeping) trying to take care of three cranky hungry children under the age of five…Our power and electricity were shut off at regular intervals because my parents couldn't pay the bills.
我和双胞胎弟弟大约4岁的时候，我妹妹只有1岁。我妈妈白天工作，爸爸晚上工作，他们的空闲时间本该是睡觉时间，却要照顾我们三个脾气古怪，嗷嗷待哺的孩子… 因为父母付不起电费，家里经常会定期断电。
I remember one time in the winter just after our power was shut off, we hear a knock on the door. My mom goes to answer it and she comes back into the house crying with an envelope in her hands. My brother and I thought that it was an eviction notice or something, but it turns out that it was just filled with money.
我记得有一次冬天，家里断电之后，我们听到了敲门声。妈妈过去开门，回来的时候手里拿着一个信封，哭了起来。我和弟弟都以为那是驱逐通知之类的，但是信封里却装满了钱。
My mom still talks about the stranger who left it for us 'til this day because she swears that they wouldn't have made it through the winter without it. Thank you, kind stranger.
直到今天，我妈妈还会提起那个给我们送钱的陌生人，因为没有他我们可能撑不过那个冬天。谢谢你，好心的陌生人。

When I was about five in the mid 70's, I was sitting on one of the mechanical horses that rock back and forth outside of a Woolworth's and playing while I was waiting for my mom who was in the store. Some lady walked by and put a quarter in to make it go. I was over the moon.
70年代中期，那时我大概5岁，我坐在沃尔沃斯门口可以来回摆动的木马上，边玩边等商店里的妈妈。有个小姐姐经过的时候，投了硬币，机械马就动起来了。我开心极了。
It is a moment of pure joy that I've remembered vividly. I still even remember what that glorious kind stranger looked like.
那一刻纯粹的喜悦，我至今仍记忆犹新。我至今都还记得那个美丽善良的陌生人的模样。

I got the heart-wrenching call that my 26 year old brother had passed suddenly the night before. Two days before that I had broken my right ankle badly, thus preventing me from driving the six hours back to my hometown. I got to the airport and…I sort of collapsed into my chair and tried my best to hold it together in public.
我接到电话，得知了一个痛心的消息，26岁的哥哥前一天晚上突然去世了。而两天前我摔伤了右脚踝，所以没有办法驱车6小时赶回家。我来到机场… 几乎是瘫倒在了椅子上，努力控制自己不在公共场合失控。
Without a word, the elderly woman next to me just reached over and held my hand. She didn't say anything...just held my hand. It was the nicest gesture from a stranger who knew I was about to fall apart.
旁边的一位老奶奶默默地伸出手，握住了我的手。她一句话也没说…只是握着我的手。这是一个陌生人最暖心的举动，因为她知道我濒临崩溃。

I was 18 and had just moved to NYC by myself and was trying to adjust to the lifestyle there (having come from a small town in the south).
18岁那年，我独自搬到了纽约市，努力地融入当地的生活方式（因为我来自南方的一个小镇）。
It was my first time using the train and I had no idea how to buy a metro card. So I'm standing there at the only working machine with a line of people behind me trying to buy a card and was a little frantic because I knew people were waiting. People in the line start yelling at me to 'hurry the f--k up' 'what're you stupid!' I start to get teary eyed which made me even more frantic.
那是我第一次乘地铁，完全不知道怎么买地铁票。于是我站在唯一一台能用的机器前，后边排着一队的人。我有点慌，因为后面很多人在等。排队的人开始吼我‘快点，你个傻X’。我更慌了，急得眼泪都出来了。
This guy steps out of the line and tells everyone to chill the f--k out. He comes up, shows me step by step what to do and pays for a 12 ride card for me.
这时他从队伍里走出来，制止其他人骂脏话。他走过来，手把手教我怎么操作，而且还帮我付了地铁票的钱。
He patted me on the back and told me, 'not all New Yorkers are a--holes, but next time someone yells at you, yell back and they'll leave you alone'" In that moment I didn't feel so alone.
他拍了拍我的背，跟我说‘不是所有的纽约人都那么混蛋，但是下次再有人冲你喊，你也喊回去，他们就不敢招惹你了。’这时，我觉得自己不再那么孤立无援了。

It was Christmas time and I worked in a toy store in a mall. A teenage girl came in wearing a T-shirt with the logo of my favorite video game on it.
那是圣诞节的时候，我在一家商场的玩具店工作。一个十几岁的女孩走进来，身上的T恤印着我最喜欢的电子游戏的标志。
I complimented her shirt, and asked her where she had gotten it, because I've never been able to find that video game on a women's shirt, only men's before. She told me where she got it, and then she left.
我称赞了她的T恤，问她在哪儿买的，因为之前我没有见过女装T恤会印这个游戏的标识，只有男装T恤。她告诉我在哪里买的，然后离开了。
I went into the break room to tell my boyfriend to buy it for me for Christmas, and when I came out of the break room, she was waiting for me. She handed me a bag, and said 'Merry Christmas! I hope I got the size right' and left. She went out and bought me the shirt, and it was the sweetest thing ever.
我走进休息室，让男朋友给我买这件T恤作为圣诞礼物。等我从休息室出来的时候，她在等我。她给了我一袋东西，说道：‘圣诞快乐！希望没有买错尺码’，然后就走了。她专门出去给我买了这件T恤，这真的是最暖心的一件事。
