This was 3 months back when I was in China for a student exchange program. It had been 2 days and I was in a supermarket searching for basic food stuffs. Everything was in Chinese and hardly anybody understood what I was trying to ask. I was almost on the verge¹ of crying because I realized these 3 months were going to be very tough.

三个月前我到中国参与一个交换生项目，到那里已经两天了，我在一家超市找些基本的食物之类的东西，可是所有东西都是用中文标明，而且几乎没有人听懂我努力问出的问题。我几乎要哭出来了，因为我意识到这三个月会非常难熬。

Then, a man approached me and tried to ask using hand gestures if everything was okay. I asked him where I could find ketchup². He didn't know English. But, he realized my dilemma³ and called his daughter from his cellphone. She talked to me in English and asked me what I needed. She then translated that back to her father and he took me to the section.

然后有个男人走过来，努力用肢体语言问我有什么事。我问他哪里有番茄酱，他不懂英语，但是他明白我的艰难处境，打电话给他女儿。她和我用英语交谈，问我需要什么，然后她翻译给她父亲，接着他就带我到相应区域。

It was a very touching⁴ moment of my life. Even in a strange country, if someone tries to do even this much for you, it is enough in taking a leap of faith.

那是我人生中深受触动的一刻。就算是在一个陌生的国度，如果有人努力为你做些什么，即使有些多余，那也足够让你增加信任。

After a long day at work, I just wanted to go home and hit the bed. My husband had an equally tiresome⁵ day. We both wanted tea. I made tea for both of us, headed straight into bed room with a book in my hand. My husband was asking instructions for washing the clothes as the laundry bag was full.

工作一整天之后，我只想回家倒在床上。我丈夫这天也很疲惫。我们俩都想喝点茶，所以我给我们俩泡了杯茶，手里拿着本书闷头进了卧室。因为洗衣袋满了，我丈夫为了洗衣服正在研究说明书

He washed the clothes and wrung⁶ it and put it for drying too. Meanwhile, I dozed⁷ off on the bed with a book in my hand.

他洗好衣服，拧干，然后把衣服晾着。这时，我靠着床，手里拿着书打起了盹。

At around, 9.30 P.M he came inside the room and softly pecked my forehead. I was just vexed⁸ at the thought that he will be hungry and I had to prepare dinner. I was drowsy⁹ and couldn't open my eyes fully¹⁰. He had turned off the lights too. I didn't know when.

大概在晚上九点半的时候，他进了房间悄悄地亲了下我的额头，我顿时有些生气，想着他一定是饿了，我得去做晚饭，我困得完全睁不开眼，所以我那时并不知道他已经关了灯。

He slowly lifted me up and said in my ears, "Please don't sleep without eating. I have made maggi". He doesn't know to cook much. He had made whatever he could manage without disturbing me.

他慢慢地扶我起来，在我耳边说道：“吃点东西再睡吧，我煮了方便面。”他不太懂烹饪，但是他在不打扰我的情况下做了他所能做的所有事情。

That moment, I felt warm and loved!

那一刻，我觉得很温暖，觉得他很爱我！
