"这枚是原先那些硬币之一吗？” 他摇摇头说："不是。当时我们不得不花掉那些钱，但是领了第一笔工资后我留下了一角钱，它伴我读完大学。我至今保留着它，为的是不忘自己的身世。每当我历数所遇到的好运时,我都忘不了在我的生命中曾经有这么一枚小小的硬币使我摆脱了父母每天都要面对的贫穷。” “你有没有再遇到过那位接线员，或告诉她那笔钱对你来说是多么的重要?"

My own children have attended college, as have my roommate’s, but we were the first. ” “Is that one of your original dimes?” He shook his head. “No, we had to use those, but when I got my first paycheck I saved a dime, which I carried all the way through college. I’ve kept it to remind me where I came from. When I count my blessings, I remember that once in my life, a single thin dime stood between me and the poverty my parents faced every day of their lives. ” “ Did you ever meet the telephone operator or tell her how much that money meant to you?” “No, but when we graduated, my roommate and I wrote a letter to the local tele¬phone company and asked if they wanted their money back. ” “The president of the company wrote us a letter of congratulations and told us that he'd never felt the company's money was better spent.” 中英文例句 1.
