I volunteer/work for my local aquarium.我在本地的一家水族館做義工

Today今天

I volunteered to help with our sick animals.我自愿去幫助那些生病的動(dòng)物們

My job today我今天的工作

was to get a sad baby leopard shark to be happy again是讓一只憂傷的豹紋鯊重新快樂起來

as he was having tummy problems他的小肚子有些不舒服

(basically I massaged a shark all day).基本上我的工作就是給鯊魚按摩

Because I was so wrapped up in this我只顧著埋頭工作

I left my Wallet an hour away at the aquarium.結(jié)果把自己的錢包丟在水族館，一個(gè)多小時(shí)后才發(fā)現(xiàn)

When I finally realized this after getting home,回家后我才發(fā)現(xiàn)這件事

I hopped in my car我跳上自己的車

and saw the gas light on.卻發(fā)現(xiàn)指示燈顯示沒油了

I scrounged up $3 in change我湊齊了3美元的硬幣

with the hopes 1 gallon would be enough to get me there.希望一加侖的油足夠讓我到達(dá)那里

When I arrived at the station當(dāng)我感到加油站

I had asked the lady我問加油站里的服務(wù)員

how far could 1gallon get me一問她一加侖的油可以讓車子跑多遠(yuǎn)

because I had left my wallet at my job.因?yàn)槲野炎约旱腻X包丟在上班的地方了

Without hesitation沒有絲毫猶豫

she pulled out a $10 dollar bill她拿出一張10美元的鈔票

and paid for my gas為我付了油錢

and told me that并且對(duì)我說

everyone has struggles每個(gè)人都有難處

and it’s our job to help when we can力所能及時(shí)伸出援手，這是份內(nèi)的事情

and to push it forward.可以扶危濟(jì)困

I returned 2 hours later兩個(gè)小時(shí)后我返回來

with $50 cash to give to her想要把50美元還給她

but she had left可是她卻已經(jīng)離開了

and I didn’t feel comfortable giving it to the other attendant.而我也不情愿將錢交給另一個(gè)工作人員

So所以

to the lady that selflessly gave me gas in my time of need我想對(duì)那位在我需要的時(shí)候無私的借錢給我加油的女士說

thank you謝謝你

and I hope to see you back at work soon!希望你再來上班的時(shí)候，能很快相見！
