纽约邮报2018-05-21 10:00

  An Oklahoma waitress received a shocking Mother’s Day surprise when a customer left her two large tips.

  俄克拉荷马州的一位女服务员收到了一个令人震惊的母亲节惊喜,一位顾客给了她两笔不菲的小费。

  Brenda Pearson was working at the 4 Star Diner in Roland on Sunday when David Platt ordered a cheeseburger to go. When he went to pay, he told Pearson he wanted to leave a $1,000 tip.

  布伦达.皮尔森周日在罗兰的四星餐厅工作,当时大卫.普拉特点了一个芝士汉堡要带走。当他去付款时,他告诉皮尔森他想留1000美元的小费。

  “I said, ‘What? Are you serious?’ He said yes. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t hardly breathe. It took my breath away,” Pearson told 5 News KFSM.

  “我说:‘什么?你是认真的吗?’他说没错。我简直不敢相信。我几乎不能呼吸。我感到窒息。”皮尔逊告诉KFSM新闻频道5。

  Platt said after talking with Pearson a bit, he thought she could use the money. “We talked about the Lord and about her life and her children. I got the impression that she was having a hard time of it, so I thought I’d just help her out a little bit,” he told 5 News.

  普拉特和皮尔逊谈了一会儿后说,他认为她可以使用这笔钱。他告诉新闻频道5:“我们谈论主,谈论她的生活和孩子。我得到的印象是她的处境很艰难,所以我想我应该帮她一点忙。”

  An hour later, Platt returned to the diner to order pie and left Pearson another $1,000 tip. “Money is just paper or numbers on a screen,” Platt said. “Self-gratification only goes so far. So, when you’re helping another person, you’re adding something to the world. It’s an investment and people, people are what’s important.”

  一小时后,普拉特回到餐厅点了派,又给了皮尔逊1000美元小费。普拉特说:“钱只是纸或者屏幕上的数字,自我满足只能到此为止。所以,当你帮助别人的时候,你给这个世界添加了一些东西。这是一种投资,人,人是最重要的。”

  Pearson said the money was a godsend and she plans to use it to get caught up on bills and help take care of her children and family.

  皮尔逊说这笔钱是天赐之物,她计划用这笔钱来支付账单,帮助照顾孩子和家人。
