　　：二十一張友善的面孔

　　Yesterday was one of my most challenging days of backpacking ao far. First, a little girl tan up and pinched me! Then, not even five minutes later, some boys made a game out of throwing dirt at me.

　　昨天是我到目前為止徒步旅行最具挑戰性的一天。先是有個小女孩跑來捏我一把!然後不到五分鐘一些男孩惡作劇對我丟泥土。

　　I was lost and wishes to see a kind face. I spotted a restaurant and went in to rest my feet and fill my belly, but a toothless man who shouted"No tables!" stopped me at the door.

　　我迷了路，想看到一張友善的面孔。我發現了一家餐廳，打算進去歇腳，飽腹一餐，可是有個滿口無牙的人大喊，“沒有空位!”在門口就擋住我。

　　I peered past him to see a half empty restruant. With the little pride, I had left. I wanted back to the hotel. The following morning, I jumped on a ferry and left the city. During the journey I met a man from Denmark who was travelling with a Vietnamese family of twenty people.

　　我打量他背後，有一半的位子是空的。我感到羞辱轉身離開，回到旅館，第二天早上便搭船離開這個城市。在旅途中，我遇到一個丹麥人，他和二十個人的越南大家族一起旅行。

　　After we exchange stories, he excused himself. Minutes later, he returned smiling and said he and his family would like to take me in for the night. I eargerly accepted and giggled thinking I only wished for one kind face, and now I have twenty-one!

　　我們交換彼此的旅途故事，之後他離開片刻，回來時滿臉笑意，並說他和他的家人願意收留我一晚。我熱切地接受，暗自竊喜，我當初只是希望看到一張友善的面孔，沒想到現在卻看到了二十一張!

　　：溫暖滿人間

　　Tomorrow is a special day. Each year on December24th, our family gathers together the unusedblankets and jackets we have in our house.

　　明天是個特殊的日子，每年的十二月二十四日，我們全家會收集家中不用的談資和外套。

　　We then take the pile, put them into our stationwagon, and drive around the city giving them tostreet people.We also bake cookies and hand them out, too. Sometimes my dog, Danny,shares his doggy treats， and I pass them out to the dogs that live on the streets with theirowners.

　　然後把這一堆收集品放到旅行車上，開車到市內分送給街頭遊民，我們也會烤餅乾分送出去，有時候我的狗丹尼會分享它的餅乾，我會把這些餅乾給街頭遊民養的狗。

　　Last year, we met a woman who lived on the corner of 6th and knight.When she saw the redribbon in my hair, she smiled. She said her favorite color was red. I remembered that in the carthere was a red blanket with pink flowers. I ran and got it for her. She told me she loved it.Sometimes, we see the same people year after year.

　　去年，我們在騎士街六號街角遇到一位女士，當她看到我頭上的紅色緞帶時，她微笑並說她最喜歡的顏色就是紅色，我想起車上有條紅色毯子，上頭繡著粉紅色的花朵，我跑去拿給她，她告訴我她很喜歡。有時候我們每年會遇到相同的人。

　　This year, I saved my allowance and bought the lady on 6th and Knight a red scarf.If I see hertomorrow, I will give it to her. If I don't see her, I guess I will just give it to someone else wholikes red.

　　今年我存了零用錢，為騎士街六號的那位女士買了條紅圍巾，如果明天看到她，我就會送給她，如果沒有，我就會送給也喜歡紅色的人。

　　：幫助單親媽媽

　　Donald works in a bank and day after day he sees women come to his till and cash government issued assistance checks. Most of these women are single moms who receive money from the government to help raise their babies.

　　唐納德任職於一家銀行，每天都有婦女來到他的櫃檯，兌現政府核發的輔助支票。這些婦女大部分是單親媽媽，接受政府的補助來撫養子女。

　　The problem is, once their child turns three years old, the parent no longer receives money and needs to find work. Most mothers have been out of work for so long, they don’t have the skills or confidence to find employment.

　　問題是，等到孩子三歲，這些單親媽媽就不能再接受補助，而必須去找工作。大部分的單親媽媽已經很久沒在工作，既沒有技能，也沒有自信能夠找到工作。

　　Donald came up with an idea. Right away, he put his plan in motion and organized a two-day workshop. At the workshop, he had women role models from the community come give speeches. There were workshops on how to find the right day care, how to write a resume and find information on jobs.

　　唐納德想到一個點子，並立刻付諸行動，他舉辦了為期兩天的研討會，在研討會上，他請來社群裡的模範婦女來演講，研討會的主題包括如何找到適當的託兒所、如何撰寫履歷，以及尋找工作相關資訊。

　　He had local businesses sponsor the women. They donated money needed to cover babysitting for the weekend and transportation. The women who attended gained skills, confidence and a support group that helped them make positive changes for themselves and their child.

　　他也找來地方企業贊助這些單親媽媽，捐贈了一筆錢作為週末的保姆費和交通費。前來參加的婦女獲得技能、自信和支援的團體力量，協助他們為自己和孩子正面地改頭換面。
