I moved apartments on a Saturday in July, 那是七月的一个星期六，我搬家了，

the hottest day of the year. 正好是一年中最热的一天。

Fourth floor to third floor, different buildings, no elevator in either one. 从四楼搬到三楼，两栋不同的楼，全都没电梯。

I didn't ask anyone for help. 我没找任何人帮忙。

I hate asking. 我这人最讨厌求人。

At eight in the morning, someone knocked. 早上八点，有人敲门。

It was Dan, from my old job, 是丹，我以前的同事，

in old shorts, holding two coffees. 穿着条旧短裤，手里拿了两杯咖啡。

"You said you were moving today," he said. “你说你今天搬家，”他说，

"You didn't say what time, so I came early." “没说几点，我就早点过来了。”

I started to say he didn't have to. 我刚想说不用这么麻烦。

He walked right past me, looked at forty boxes, 他就径直从我身边走过，看了看那四十个箱子，

and went straight to the one marked BOOKS. 直接奔向那个写着“书”的箱子。

The worst one. 最沉的那一个。

He picked it up and headed for the stairs. 他一把抱起箱子，就往楼梯走去。

We carried boxes for six hours. 我们搬了整整六个小时的箱子。

He never once said "you owe me." 他一句“你欠我个人情”都没提过。

Some people ask, "Can I help?" 有的人会客套一句：“需要帮忙吗？”

The best ones just pick up the heavy end. 而最靠谱的人，只会默默抬起最沉的那一头。
