第18课:慷慨大方的 - 4

迷你小对话

A: Mrs. Childs gave a very handsome contribution last year, so I think we should nominate her for donation committee.
B: Are you thinking that perhaps her selfless giving will entice others to do the same?
A: Certainly. If they see how charitable a woman of her stature is, maybe it would influence them to contribute equally.

A: Childs夫人去年捐了一大笔钱,所以我想我们应该提名她担任捐赠委员会委员。
B: 你觉得她的无私捐赠能够带动其他人也这样做吗?
A: 当然。人们看到像她这样一位娇小的女性都这么慷慨,也许就会受到影响而慷慨捐款的。
