It was one busy morning in those rush hours

那是一個忙碌的早晨，正是早高峰時段

when I hopped into the bus heading town to run some errands,

我剛跳上公交車的門檻，準(zhǔn)備進(jìn)城去辦事

I sat next to some guy his name was Musa.

一個男子坐在我的旁邊，他的名字叫Musa

He said hi and I replied with a smile

他對我打招呼，我回之以微笑

and our conversation began from there.

我們的交談從從這里開始了

We talked about a lot of things

我們談到很多東西

particularly about life and work

特別是關(guān)于生活和工作

and he just began complementing my natural look.

接著他就開始贊美我質(zhì)樸的打扮

He said he was impressed with how natural I was,

他說，我天生麗質(zhì)的容貌讓他眼前一亮

am a kind of girl who keeps it all natural,

我是那種不飾鉛華的女孩

no make up and I always keep my African natural hair as it is.

我從不化妝，頭發(fā)也總是它最自然的樣子

So Musa said those words genuinely

Musa的贊美十分真誠

and like any girl would, I felt good and appreciated

我十分開心，我想所有的女孩都會這樣

even though it was from a stranger.

即使那些贊美出自一個陌生人之口

In the back of my mind I knew he would then ask for my number as most guys do

我心中暗暗想到，他一定會探問我的電話號碼，就像大多數(shù)男孩會做的那樣

but we reached the end

可是我們的邂逅很快告一段落

and said goodbye to each other just like that

我們只是對對方說了再見

and I have never seen him since then.

從那之后我再也沒有見過他

So what am trying to say here is that

此刻我想要說的是

sometimes people aren't always as thought of by the society,

有時人們并不像社會輿論慣常以為的那樣惡劣

so keep seeing the best in people instead of assuming worst things about them.

與其假設(shè)他們是無惡不作的壞蛋，不如試著看到他們身上最好的品質(zhì)吧!
