爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
On another visit to Hartford, shortly afterward, Bok was just turning into Forrest Street when a little old woman came shambling along toward him, unconscious, apparently, of people or surroundings. In her hand she carried a small tree-switch. Bok did not notice her until just as he had passed her he heard her calling to him: "Young man, young man." Bok retraced his steps, and then the old lady said: "Young man, you have been leaning against something white," and taking her tree-switch she whipped some wall dust from the sleeve of Bok's coat. It was not until that moment that Bok recognized in his self-appointed "brush" no less a personage than Harriet Beecher Stowe.

白话
博克在哈特福德拐进福雷斯特街时,一个矮小老妇人朝他走来,手里拿着小树枝,好像没注意周围。擦身而过时她喊住他,说他靠过什么白的东西,然后用树枝替他掸掉袖上的墙灰。博克这才认出,这位主动帮他刷灰的老人竟是《汤姆叔叔的小屋》作者斯托夫人。别急着用身份判断人;不起眼的人可能大有来头,接受别人好意时,多一分客气和感谢,总不会错。
上下文
博克在哈特福德偶遇一位老妇人,后来才认出她是著名作家哈里特·比彻·斯托。
今日一问
今天遇到不起眼却主动帮你的人,你会先道谢还是先打量?
