　　One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road.

　　Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore."

　　I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it.

　　一天，在內(nèi)布拉斯加州，一輛車在路邊停下。我向窗內(nèi)看去，是兩位穿節(jié)日盛裝的小老太太。“我知道不該要求您搭乘過路人，但是這兩個小鎮(zhèn)距離太遠(yuǎn)，如果不理過路人，你會感到內(nèi)疚的，”司機(jī)說，她自我介紹說名叫Vi。我不知道是該親吻她，還是責(zé)備她停車。這位女士說，她更愿意冒生命危急，而不是置路邊的陌生人于不顧而心懷愧意。

　　一個下雨天，我試圖搭車，但是失敗了。一位卡車司機(jī)把車開到路邊，剎車太猛，車子剎到路沿上。這位司機(jī)告訴我，他曾被一個持刀的搭乘者搶劫�！暗也辉缚吹接腥肆苡�，”他說�！叭藗儾皇抢淇釤o情的�！�

　　然而，我發(fā)現(xiàn)，人們通常都是有同情心的。他們聽說我沒錢，也不想要錢，就給我食物，或同我分享他們有的任何東西。沒有什么東西的人總是給的最多。在俄勒岡州，一位油漆工意識到天冷，就問我是否有外套。當(dāng)他聽說我有“一件薄的”，就開車帶我到他家，給我一件寬大、綠色的軍裝夾式克。一個叫 Tim的鋸木廠工人邀請我去他那簡陋的家，和他的家人共享簡單的晚餐。然后把自己的帳篷送給我，我拒絕了，因為我知道，那可能是這個家庭最值錢的家當(dāng)了。但是Tim堅持要我收下，最后，我只得收下了。
