A Life Full of Riches富足的一生It was early December 2003, my first season as a Salvation Army bell ringer, when I was confronted with the question. I was standing just outside the doorway of a Wal-Mart, offering a "thank you" and a smile to each person who dropped a donation into my red kettle. A neatly dressed woman and her young son walked up to the kettle stand. While she searched her purse for some cash, the boy looked up at me. I can still see the confusion and curiosity in his eyes as he asked, "Are you poor?"首次面对这个问题，是在2003年12月初，我第一次为救世军摇铃募捐的时候。
当时我就站在沃尔玛商场入口处门外，对每一位向我的红壶里投入捐款的人都报以一声“谢谢”和一个微笑。
一位穿着整洁的妇人牵着她的幼子向放壶的台子走过来。
她在钱包里摸着找钱时，孩子抬头看了我一眼，问我：“你穷吗？”当时他眼里充满疑惑和好奇，时至今日仍历历在目。
"Well," I stammered, trying to think, "I have more than some people, but not as much as others." His mother scolded him for the social no-no, and they hurried off to do their shopping. His question, however, did not leave me.“嗯，”我结结巴巴，边想边回答，“我比有些人拥有的多，但比其他人拥有的少。

A Life Full of Riches课文翻译
文 KarlR、Green
译 李建华 AT CSU
1、那就是2003年得12月初，我第一季作为一个救世军得摇铃人，就遭遇了一个问题。当时我正站在沃尔玛（美国连锁超市）得门道外面，向每一个投掷捐赠物到我得红色锅中得人说声谢谢并冲她们微笑。一个衣着端庄得女士与她年幼得儿子走向了我得锅架。当她从钱包里找一些现金得时候，那个小男孩抬头瞧着我。我仍记得她问我“您很穷吗？"这句话时她眼中得困惑与好奇心。
13、在过去得四年里，我逐渐由于那个好奇得小男孩所提出得问题而更加了解自己。在我仔细斟酌什么就是贫穷后，我最感激得东西在脑中变得格外清晰：所有我有形得与无形得财富。

11、但就是我乐意过没有它得生活。事实上，不去过多关注物质得东西得生活给我得感觉很好。世界上得许多人都会认为我得生活方式就是富裕得。
12、在那年得岁末，当我穿上救世军得红围裙，我内心就发生了改变。不仅没有在经济上感到不自在，相反我却感到一种真正意义上得归属感。当我摇响手中得铃铛时，人们纷纷停下脚步与我分享她们经历困苦时期时希望得到她人帮助得无比渴望得个人故事。人与人之间互相帮助使我感到自己与这个社会紧密相连。当我摇响铃铛时，很多与我素不相识得人给我买来巧克力，给我一个持久得微笑。无数得人通过她们得美好祝愿令我在这个寒冷得季节感到温暖：“感谢您在如此寒冷得日子里摇铃。”“介不介意我给您买杯咖啡？”“上帝会因您得善举而保佑您。”12月就是我一年中感到最富裕得时候。
8、在我年轻时，我约会了一个罕见得有趣得女士。她告诉我，对她而言最重要得东西就是一个人内在得品质。我想当然地以为自己找到了一个能与我相伴终身得独特女性。因而我就带她去瞧我得公寓。那时我住在一间很小得备有一些陈旧家具得房间里。唯一新得，令人感到舒适得便就是我桌边得椅子。她来过后不久，我们之间得关系就破裂了。（我们就分手了）
