There are times when a small act of kindness may not be a big deal for the per
son doing it but might affect the recipient in a bigger way. Something similar
happened when a college student decided to pay for the coffee of a stranger a
nd something beautiful happened later.
常常小小的举动会造成大大的回响，这种美丽的经验也发生在一个大学女孩帮她后面的陌
生人付款之后。
Mackenzie Mauller, 19, from Union Town, Ohio, went into Starbucks and paid for
a woman sitting behind her, a gesture that is often practised in the barista
chain as a ‘pay it forward’ initiative. The lady was so moved by Mauller’s
sweet act that she surprised her with a hand-written letter and opened up how
her gesture made her sail through a very difficult time.
这个女孩叫做Mauller，是个19岁来自俄亥俄州的大学生，到了一家星巴克消费，并且帮
坐在她后面的陌生女士付款。这个举动感动了这位女士，女士写了一封亲笔函给Mauller
，文中也透露著女士对Mauller在人生困难时所提供这样子帮助的感谢。
Her tweet with photos of the letter was shared on Twitter and the kind act qui
ckly went viral.

（星巴克官推也有分享这件事）
“Thank you for the coffee! I rarely go to Starbucks and treat myself, but the
last couple of months have been a bit of a struggle,” the letter read. “My
father just passed away and he was also my babysitter. My family and my childr
en have had a really hard time. This morning my babysitter called off sick and
I had to take the day off work. I decided to buy my kids breakfast and get my
self coffee with total guilt because I am going to become a stay-at-home mom f
or a while,” it added.
这位女士原本是要给孩子们买些面包，也给自己买杯咖啡的女士在信中表示因父亲刚过世
，家中近几个月正经历一段艰难时期，也因为这样子不得不暂停工作，并在家带孩子。
The handwritten note from the woman, whose name is Nicole Clawson, also commen
ted on her post and wrote, “This has been such a great learning opportunity f
or them, on how to treat others, no matter what. They are excited to pay it fo
rward, and treat others with kindness and selflessness.”
这位女士叫做Clawson，也看到了Mauller的推文，也表示这种无私的分享对孩子们来说是
很好的学习机会，学习对他人好、对他人无私。
Now, Mauller is also trying to find her a babysitter since and the due have be
come good friends. Clawson told Yahoo News she was shocked when she heard some
one paid for her coffee. And now her kids too want to pay it forward.
现在，Mauller在试着替她新认识的好朋友找保母。而Clawson向Yahoo记者表示当他知道M
auller要替陌生的她付咖啡钱时感到惊喜，而现在Clawson的孩子也想要pay it forward
，替其他人付款表达善心。
