概述:
如果有人正好碰到,問‘你是給垃圾公司開車嗎?’我就說是。。。
Hints:
無
If someone comes right out and asks, 'Do you drive for a garbage company?' I say yes. I believe we're doing a service people need, like being a police officer or a fire fighter. I'm not ashamed of it, but I don't go around boasting about it either."
"A friend of my wife yelled at her kids one day when they ran out to meet a trash truck. 'Stay away from those trashmen. They're dirty.' I was angry with her. 'They're as good as we are,' I told her. 'You seem to have a lot of sympathy for them,' she said. 'Yes, I do.' But I never told her why."
I had originally planned to stay at this employment for only two days but now I'm going to continue. The exercise is great; the lifting gets easier with every load, even if my shoulder muscles are sore. I become faster and neater each day.
如果有人正好碰到,問‘你是給垃圾公司開車嗎?’我就說是。我相信我們做的事是人們所需要的,就像當(dāng)警察或者消防隊(duì)員一樣。我并不為此而感到見不得人,可我也不會到處去吹噓自己的工作?!?
“有一天,我妻子的一個(gè)朋友見到她孩子從家里跑出來看垃圾車,她就大聲叫嚷起來,‘離那些垃圾工遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn),他們身上臟’。我很生她的氣。我說,‘那些垃圾工和我們一樣干凈?!愫孟窈芡樗麄兯频?,’她說?!堑模沂呛芡樗麄??!晌覐臎]有告訴她這是為什么?!?
這活兒我原先只打算干兩天,可現(xiàn)在我要干下去。這可鍛煉人呢,雖然肩部肌肉酸痛,可我扛垃圾桶越扛越得心應(yīng)手了。我越干越快,越干越利索。
