英语习作分析&评讲
1. A few days before Christmas, while enjoying coffees, my girlfriend and I noticed a woman trying to get her bank card to work.
2. “Do you know her?” I asked my friend.
3.“I do. Give me a minute. I’m going to go and see if I can help,” she replied, standing up to walk over to her.
4. A few minutes later, my friend returned to the table with the woman. The woman looked upset. Her eyes were swollen(adj.肿胀的), as if she’d been crying all night. She looked pale, tired, and messy. After I was introduced, my friend asked her if she was okay. She admitted she wasn’t and burst into tears.
5. I could sense she was a little embarrassed by her emotional response. Wanting to put her at ease, I quickly told her not to worry. I shared that I was a new mom with many troubles and I’d already cried fourteen times that day. She laughed but soon her tears were flowing again.
6. For the next forty-five minutes, my friend and I both sat and patiently listened to her. She lost her husband before Christmas and their bank accounts were now left nothing. As a stay-at-home mom of two, in one split second, her entire life had come crashing down around her.
7. We tried our best to cheer her up. My friend even tried to give her some cash, which she refused. When she finally got up to leave, she wiped her tears, thanked us both for listening, and walked out.
As I drove home, I couldn’t stop thinking about how depressed she looked when she left the cafe. No one deserves to feel that sad, I thought, especially right before Christmas. There must be something I can do to help. I racked my brain (绞尽脑汁) for an answer.
