Next to us lives Mr. Zhang,
who is a street-sweeper.
He is in his early sixties and looks quite stern1,
but in fact, he is easy to get along with
and is always considerate of others.
Rain or shine,
he goes out to work in the early morning
when there is little traffic on the road.
Because uncaring people litter the streets
with so much garbage,
he cannot take a rest until noon.
To my surprise, he never complains about
his hard and dirty work. In a word, I don't
look down upon him just
because he is a street-sweeper;
instead, I respect my kind neighbor.
我们家隔壁住着一位张先生,他是一个清道夫。
他年约60出头,看起来很严肃;
但事实上,他很容易相处而且总是为别人设想。
虽然他没受过教育,但和他交谈是件令人愉快的事。
不论晴雨,他都会在一大早
交通流量还很小时就出去工作。
因为那些没有公德心的人会在街道上乱丢大量的垃圾,
所以他直到中午才能休息。
令我惊讶的是,他从不抱怨他那辛苦又肮脏的工作。
总之,我不会因他是个清道夫就看不起他;
相反地,我尊敬我的这位好邻居。
