第18課:慷慨大方的?- 4

迷你小對(duì)話

A: Mrs. Childs gave a very handsome contribution last year, so I think we should nominate her for donation committee.
B: Are you thinking that perhaps her selfless giving will entice others to do the same?
A: Certainly. If they see how charitable a woman of her stature is, maybe it would influence them to contribute equally.

A: Childs夫人去年捐了一大筆錢,所以我想我們應(yīng)該提名她擔(dān)任捐贈(zèng)委員會(huì)委員。
B: 你覺得她的無(wú)私捐贈(zèng)能夠帶動(dòng)其他人也這樣做嗎?
A: 當(dāng)然。人們看到像她這樣一位嬌小的女性都這么慷慨,也許就會(huì)受到影響而慷慨捐款的。
