　　陌生男子留下的书信

　　Sometimes you find kindness in the most unexpected places - even a Pizza Hut!

　　有时候，我们会在最意想不到的地方收获善意——比如必胜客!

　　A single mother from Raleigh, North Carolina wrote to ABC11 to share the incredible experience she had at the pizza chain while dining with her children.

　　一位来自北卡罗莱纳州首府罗利的单亲妈妈写信给美国广播公司分享了她在必胜客和孩子们一起用餐时的奇遇。

　　Despite going through a difficult time - she's in the middle of a messy divorce and was forced to move several times - the woman always makes the effort to go out to dinner with her kids every Friday. She recently brought her kids straight from school and daycare to Pizza Hut, when her son's ADHD medication was wearing off.

　　尽管正在经历着一个非常艰难的时期——正在面对离婚后的生活困境，被迫搬了好几次家——她一直努力坚持每周五在孩子们去饭店就餐。最近一次她直接将孩子们从学校和日托所接到了必胜客，那时儿子的注意力不及重症药效也逐渐减退了。

　　The woman apologized in advance to a young man seated alone in a nearby booth, worried her children would begin to get rowdy and loud. He replied that he didn't mind, as he had three children of his own.

　　由于担心孩子们的吵闹会打扰到周围的人，她提前向独自坐在附近了一位年轻先生道了歉，那位先生说没关系，他自己也有三个孩子。

　　The woman and her children continued with their meal, with the mother trying the best she could to engage with her kids to keep them on their best behavior. Meanwhile, the young man finished his dinner and left.

　　接下来她继续和孩子们一起吃饭，她尽量保证孩子们举止得体。同时，身旁的年轻人吃完饭后就离开了。

　　At the end of their meal, instead of bringing over the check, the family's waitress came over and said the young man had already paid their bill. He also left them a Pizza Hut gift card and a three-page handwritten letter:

　　在吃完饭后，服务员并没有向往常一个拿来账单，而告诉她说刚才坐在旁边了那位先生已经替他们买单了。同时还为他们留下了一张必胜客礼品卡和一封长达三页的信，信上说到：

　　"I do not know your back story, but I have had the privilege of watching you parent your children for the past 30 minutes. I have to say thank you for parenting your children in such a loving manner."

　　“我不了解你背后的故事，但是我有幸在过去的30分钟里观察你是怎样教育自己的孩子。我不得不说，你教育孩子的方式真的是充满了慈爱。”

　　"I have watched you teach your children about the importance of respect, education, proper manners, communication, self control, and kindness all while being very patient," he continued. "I will never cross your path again but am positive that you and your children have amazing futures."

　　“我看到你教授孩子尊重、接受教育、好的教养、沟通、自控和善意的重要性，在整个过程中你都充满耐心。或许我们以后再也不会见面，但是我非常确定你和你的孩子会有一个美好的未来。”

　　He concludes, "Keep up the good work, and when it starts to get tough, do not forget that others may be watching and will need the encouragement of seeing a good family being raised. God bless! -Jake"

　　他总结到，“继续坚持下去吧，当你感到困难时，不要忘了可能有人正在注视着你，需要你的鼓励来看到怎样培养一个好的家庭。愿上帝保佑你!——杰克。”

　　With all the hardship life can bring you, this story shows that good things can happen to you just as easily!

　　虽然生活有时候会很艰难，但是这个故事告诉我们好事情也很容易发生!
