地道美語向前沖：65歲老人生日發(fā)錢65分鐘
本期節(jié)目介紹：
過生日一般都是收禮的，從沒見過自己過生日還往外發(fā)錢的。在美國，一個65歲的老人就做了這樣的事兒。出于善心，老人舉著發(fā)錢的牌子到十字路口為行人發(fā)錢，在65分鐘的時間，一共送出了5美元。
Drivers in Oklahoma City did a double-take this week as they drove by a man standing with a sign at a busy intersection.
Instead of a homeless person asking for a handout, they saw Doug Eaton holding a handwritten sign that read: "I have a home and a car and a job. Do you need a few bucks for some coffee?”
For 65 minutes, Eaton handed out $5 bills to passersby. It turned into the best birthday gift ever, he said. “It’s just been fantastic. Some people who don't take the money say, ‘Man, I love what you are doing. I won’t take it but give it to someone who needs it,’” he said.
