你们这儿要人么哥们儿给个工作吧

在接下来的七天里，为了找工作，我顶着100华氏度的高温，走了一英里又一英里。我提出可以从事任何工作：洗盘子、拖地、打包、做饭，什么都行。我去了几十家公司求职，但一份工作都没找到。在七天里，我没有见到过一个“招工”的指示牌，倒是见到很多写着“快餐店现接受食品券”的指示牌。

I was committed to finding a job. It was my top priority, but halfway through the week my priority was forced to change: I barely had any money left and needed to find food. Fortunately, kindhearted homeless residents in Fresno pointed me to a shelter, Poverello House, which provides services to the homeless. I had no choice but to join the hundreds of men, women and families who go to the shelter for food. As the shelter did not have any beds for me I slept on the streets all six nights. I had only one shower during that time.

我决心找到一份工作，这是我的第一要务，但中途我不得不改变目标：我囊中羞涩，需要先填饱肚子再说。幸运的是，弗雷斯诺那些好心的流浪汉们介绍我来到Poverello House避难所，这里可以向无家可归者提供服务。我别无选择，只能加入数以百计的流浪大军，来到这里寻找食物。由于这家避难所无法为我提供床铺，我只好连续六晚露宿街头。在这段时间里，我只洗过一次澡。

The meals at Poverello House were a Godsend. But they introduced a new challenge: I now needed to stay within a short walk of the shelter so I could be back in time for my next meal. I had only enough money left to take the city bus once, so my job-search area shrank. The odds of me finding a job were getting smaller by the day.
