When I was in college 当我还在读大学的时候
I worked at CVS, 我在一家连锁量贩店打工
a guy came to buy batteries 1 一个人来买电池
and was a couple dollars short. 少了几块钱
after trying to count out his change 我帮着他一起把他的零钱数了一遍
I told him not to worry about it 然后告诉他,不必担心
and just take the batteries. 然后就把电池交给了他
I forgot about the whole thing almost instantly 2 我几乎是瞬间就把这整件事忘掉了
because it wasnt a big deal. 因为这本就不是什么大事
a few days later 几天之后
the guy comes back in, 那个人又回来了
waits in line to buy something 排队等着买什么东西
and asks if I remembered him. 问我还记不记得他
He then told me 接着他告诉我
that I really helped him out that day 那一天多亏了我给他帮忙
and he proceeded 3 to leave a $20 bill on the counter 4 接着他便在柜台上留下20美元的钞票
and walked out. 然后出去了
I will never forget that, 我永远忘不了这件事
the fact that 忘不了
he remembered me doing something so small 他为我做过的如此微不足道的事情记住了我
and then went out of his way 大费周章的找到我
to more than re-pay it. 他所做的比回馈更多
