He agreed only if I  had a bicycle. 当我九岁的时候，我需要挣点钱，所以我向芝加哥附近的报纸出版商米塞利先生询问了一条课后报纸路线。只有我有自行车，他才会同意。 My dad bought me a used bike, but right after that he fell ill and couldn’t teach me to ride. Mr. Miceli, however, merely asked to see the bike. So I walked to his garage, showed it to him and got the job. 我爸爸给我买了一辆二手自行车，但就在那之后，他生病了，不能教我骑。然而，米切利先生只是要求看一下自行车。所以我走到他的车库，把它给他看，然后得到了这份工作。 At first, I filled my delivery bag with rolled papers over the handlebars and walked my bike down the sidewalks. But pushing a bike with a load of papers was awkward; after a few days I borrowed Mom’s two-wheeled shopping cart. 起初，我把卷好的纸放在车把上，然后把自行车沿着人行道走去。但推着一辆自行车和一大堆文件是很尴尬的；几天后，我借了妈妈的两轮购物车。 It took me longer to make my deliveries by cart, but I didn’t mind. I sent each paper to its proper destination. In rain or snow, I put Dad’s old raincoat over the cart to keep the papers dry. I got to meet everyone in the neighborhood — working-class people of Italian, German or Polish origins who were invariably kind to me. 我用手推车送货花了更长的时间，但我并不介意。我把每一篇论文都送到了正确的目的地。下雨或下雪时，我把爸爸的旧雨衣放在手推车上，以保持纸张干燥。我见到了附近的每一个人——意大利、德国或波兰出身的工人阶级，他们总是对我很好。 When Dad returned from the hospital, he was too weak to resume his original job. Now we needed every penny we could raise to pay bills, so we sold the bike. Mr. Miceli must have known I wasn’t using a bike, but he said nothing about it to me. 当爸爸从医院回来时，他太虚弱了，无法恢复原来的工作。现在我们需要筹集到的每一分钱来支付账单，所以我们卖掉了自行车。米切利先生一定知道我没有骑自行车，但他什么也没对我说。 On the Thursday evening before Christmas, 1951, I rang my first customer’s doorbell. Even though the lights were on, nobody answered, so I went on to the next house. No answer, nor did anyone respond at the next family on my route, or the one after. 1951年圣诞节前的一个星期四晚上，我按了第一位顾客的门铃。尽管灯亮着，但没有人接，所以我继续去了隔壁的房子。没有人回答，我路上的下一个家庭或后面的一个家庭也没有人回应。
