几年前妻子让我在“黑五”早上和她在当地百货公司门口会和,他们正在特价销售一款儿童自行车,她想买给我们的儿子。还有一大群人站在那儿等着经理吹哨。过了一会,哨声响起,当时的场景就像一桶三文鱼被扔进了鲨鱼水箱里。我跟妻子说如果我们抢到自行车还好,如果没抢到我也无所谓。
As the pallet of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it off the crate and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Intimidating was not the word to describe his presence. He was adorned with numerous straps of metal spiked leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos were an obvious passion of his.
货架上的自行车越来越少,我看到了一个“文雅”的机会,把手伸到了一个自行车包装盒的角上,把盒子拎了起来,突然感觉到有人轻轻地阻止我。我抬头看见了平生所见的最高大的人,“吓人”这个词已经不足以形容他了。他胳膊上甚至脖子上满是带有铆钉的皮带子,很明显纹身是他的最爱。
I started to relinquish the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, "Merry Christmas."My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a stranger that broke all preconceived notions I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices. The tenderness of a human heart in a simple act. I will never forget it.
