I gave a young homeless guy a couple of quid in Glasgow.

在格拉斯哥，我把身上的一点零钱送给了一个年轻的乞丐。

I don't normally¹ give money but it was just what I had in my pocket and there was something about this dude that just looked sad.

平时我不会把钱送给路边的乞丐，不过今天我的口袋里正好有一点零钱，而且这个乞丐身上似乎有某种特质，让我受到了触动。

Got chatting for a wee while and he told me about his days and nights.

我们闲聊了一小会儿，他对我讲述了他的生活状况。

- someone had soaked² his sleeping bag on purpose and he'd spent the morning trying to dry it under the hand-dryer in McDonalds.

有人故意打湿了他的睡袋，整整一个上午，他就站在麦当劳餐厅里的烘干机前，想方设法把睡袋烘干。

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a sheet³ of cute stickers that a child had given him.

这时，他把手伸进口袋，拿出一条可爱的贴纸，这是一个孩子送给他的。

He told me to take them because he was grateful⁴ for the money and the chat.

他让我把这些贴纸拿去，他说，我给了他钱，还陪他聊天，这是为了向我表达谢意。

I told him it was very kind but to hold onto them and maybe he could give them to children or put them on his sign.

我告诉他，我非常感谢他的心意，不过这些贴纸他一定要自己收好，说不定他可以把他们送给其他孩子，或者把它们贴在他的木牌上。
