I was cleaning out my closet, 我收拾衣柜的时候，

and I found my old gray coat. 翻出了我那件旧灰大衣。

I wore it for six winters. 我穿了它整整六个冬天。

It went with me to job interviews, 它陪我去过求职面试，

to a funeral, to my first date with my wife. 去过葬礼，还陪我赴了和妻子的第一次约会。

It doesn't fit anymore. 现在我已经穿不下了。

But I've moved it from apartment to apartment, 但我搬了一次又一次家，都一直带着它，

because how do you throw away six winters? 因为这可是六年的冬天啊，怎么舍得扔呢？

This time, I decided. 这次，我终于下定决心了。

I washed it. 我把它洗干净，

I sewed the loose button back on. 把快掉的扣子重新缝好，

Then I folded the coat carefully, 然后把它仔仔细细地叠整齐，

the way you fold something for a guest, 就像给客人准备东西那样，

and put it on top of the bag. 放在了袋子的最上面。

At the donation center, a woman took the bag without looking inside. 到了捐赠中心，一个女人看也没看里面，就接过了袋子。

That's all right. 没关系的。

Somewhere in this city, this winter, 今年冬天，在这座城市的某个角落，

a stranger will put it on and be warm. 会有一个陌生人穿上它，感到温暖。

He'll never know where it's been. 他永远不会知道这件衣服经历过什么。

I hope it gets him to a good interview, too. 我希望它也能带他顺利通过一场面试。
