        During the Gulf War,my sister,Jane,bought a flag and asked her apartment's maintenance man, a Vietnam vet,to install a pole for him. When she offered to pay him,he told her there was no way he could take money for putting up the American flag.海湾战争期间,我妹妹珍妮买了一面美国国旗,她请房子的维修工—一位越战的老兵给她竖一根旗杆。当我妹妹为此什给他钱时,他说,他帮助挂美国国旗,无论如何都不该收钱。
       
                Jane contacted her local newspaper,and they published an article about the incident. The next time she encountered the maintenance man, he told her that everyone he knew had read her story and that she had made him a celebrity.Jane jokingly asked for his autograph.珍妮来到当地报杜,就此事在报上发表了一篇文章。当珍妮第二次碰到那位维修工时,他对珍妮说他所认识的人都看了她写的报章,是她使他成为了名人。珍妮开玩笑地说让他给签个名。
       
                "I don't have time,"the man replied. "I'm too busy setting up American flags.”他回答说:“那我可没时间,挂美国国旗的事忙得我不可开交。”
