A tired commuter paid for the coffee of the stranger behind him, just because. 一个疲惫的上班族顺手帮排在身后的陌生人买了杯咖啡,没别的原因,就是纯粹想这么做。

That stranger, still smiling an hour later, 那个陌生人过了一个小时脸上还挂着笑容,

helped a coworker who was drowning in work. 转身帮了一位忙得焦头烂额的同事。

The coworker, in a better mood than she'd been in for weeks, 同事的心情是好几个星期以来最舒畅的一次,

was patient with her son that evening instead of snapping at him. 那天晚上对儿子格外有耐心,没有冲他发脾气。

And the boy, feeling loved, 感受到了关爱的小男孩,

shared his snack the next day with a lonely kid at school. 第二天在学校把自己的零食分给了一个孤零零的同学。

None of them knew about the others. 他们彼此互不相识,

None of them did anything grand. 谁也没做过什么了不起的壮举。

But a single small kindness had quietly traveled through four lives in two days. 但一份微小的善意,却在短短两天里悄然温暖了四个人的生活。

We tend to think kindness has to be big to matter. 我们总觉得,善意得足够轰轰烈烈才有意义。

It doesn't. 其实真不用。

A tiny good deed rarely stops where you leave it — 一件微小的善举,绝不会停留在你止步的地方——

it has a way of rippling out much further than you will ever see. 它泛起的涟漪,往往会荡漾到你根本看不见的远方。
