答案解析

【参考译文】
像很多人一样,我生来就认为生活就是索取,直到三十多岁的时候才发现,放弃也会使生活如此精彩。如果我脑海中闪过一个念头,要怎么改进附近商店的陈设,我会直接走进去向店主提出建议。如果发生了一起事故,而我认为故事的经过对警察有用的话,虽然我不是这里的负责人,我也会给警察打电话告诉他发生的一切。我对世界的认识就是付出而不要求回报,虽然回报会以一种我们所没有预料到的方式出现。
一个星期天的早上,当地邮局给我家送了一封重要的特别信函,而这封信的收信人地址是我办公室。我给邮政局长写了一封感谢信。一年多以后,我因为新开始的一项工作需要一个邮箱。在柜台我得知没有多余的邮箱了,要等很长的时间。就在我要离开的时候,邮政局长在门口问我:“是不是你在一年前写信感谢我们送到你家一封特别信函?”我说是的。
“在这个邮局里,你应该得到一个邮箱,即便是我们给你做一个。你不知道这样一封信对我们意味着什么。往往我们得到的只有顾客的投诉信。”
