一位老人拖着缓慢的步伐走进餐厅。他歪着头,肩膀前倾,拄着拐杖,不紧不慢地走着。他那破烂的短夹克、布满补丁的裤子、破旧的鞋子以及热情的性格,使他在这个平常的星期六早上,从早餐人群中脱颖而出。一个叫玛丽的服务员跑到他跟前,说:“先生,我来帮您就座吧。”他一言不发,只是微笑着点了一下头,以示感谢。
The old man shuffled slowly into the restaurant.With head tilted and shoulders bent forward, he Ieaned on his trusty cane with each unhurried step. His tattered cloth jacket, patched trousers, worn-out shoes, and warm personality made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. A young waitress named Mary ran over to him, and said, "Here, sir. Let me give you a hand with the chair." Without saying a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. Steadying him with her arms, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated.
