I was riding the subway and happened to be seated between two young guys.

我当时正在坐地铁，我两边各坐了一个年轻的男孩。

The one on the right eyed the slightly grungy Band?Aid¹ on my thumb² and said, “You should really change that, you know. You have to keep it clean.”

坐在右边的男孩看了下我大拇指上已经有点脏的创可贴，然后说：“你知道吗？你真的该把它换一换了。你得让那里保持干净。”

Then the one on my left said, “Here, I have one,” and pulled a fresh Band?Aid out of his knapsack. “I keep them on me because I’m always hurting myself.”

然后，坐在我左边的男孩说：“我这有一个，拿去吧，”接着，他从背包里拿出了一个新的邦迪创可贴。“我通常都带着它们，因为我经常把自己弄伤。”

Incredulous, I thanked him, changed my bandage³, and got off at my stop feeling pretty good about people, life, and New York City.

带着怀疑的态度，我感谢了他，然后换掉了我的创可贴；当我下车的时候，我心情很好，同时觉得其他人、生命、纽约市都好棒。

There is kindness⁴ in this world everywhere.

And there is evil⁵.

同时也有邪恶。

They take turns come to you.

You need to learn to see the good things hiding in all those tiny corner of your life.

你需要学习，才能看到那些潜藏在你生命各个角落中的美好事物。
