我只顾教他如何走路,却没有告诉他应该往哪里走!马格丽特·桑斯特是一位杰出的社会活动家。她曾在一个大城市的贫民窟工作,期间亲身经历的一件事情,令她至今难以释怀。那时候,在马格丽特的不懈努力下,终于使一家健身房同意在贫民区的孩子们放学之后,免费为他们开放。一天下午,一个男孩拄着双拐蹒跚着走进健身房。他的一条腿严重扭曲,只好在旁边一脸羡慕地看着正在兴高采烈玩耍着的同龄小孩。和小男孩聊过一段时间,马格丽特得知,小男孩受重伤的腿是被卡车碰撞而导致的。因为家中贫困,他一直没能到医院治疗。
I only taught him how to walk, but did not tell him where to go! Margaret Sangster is an outstanding social activist. One of the things she had personally experienced during her work in the slums of a big city made her so unforgettable. At that time, with the untiring efforts of Marguerite, finally, a gym agreed to allow children in slum areas to be free for them after school. One afternoon, a boy staggered with a crutch and walked into the gym. One of his legs was so distorted that he had to look enviously at the kid with the same age playing happily. Having talked with the little boy for some time, Margaret learned that the little boy’s severed leg was caused by a truck collision. Because of poverty at home, he has not been able to go to the hospital for treatment.
