当时大家生活都很艰难,我们家靠我开出租车的收入勉强度日。一天深夜我接到要车电话,令我吃惊的是,到达那个地址时发现是一位柔弱的老太太在等我。她上车后,我便与她攀谈起来。我了解到她要去安养院,医生说她的时间不多了。老太太叫我开车穿过市中心。她指着一些老房子告诉我那是她曾居住或工作过的地方。最后当车子停在安养院门口时,我没有接收她的车费。在那天余下的时间里我陷入了沉思:虽然我得谋生,但是生活的意义不仅仅是为了生存。当周遭情形一片阴暗时,我的一个小小善举可能就是一束烛光,尽管烛火微弱,却温暖了一颗心灵,也令我高尚。我真的为自己的小小善举感到自豪。
That was a time when life was difficult for everyone. My family could barely get by on my small e from driving a cab. One late night I responded to a call for a cab ride. To my surprise, when I arrived at the address, I found it was a frail old lay who was awaiting me. After she got into the cab, I engaged her in conversation. I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well. I did take pride in that small favour.
