Ordinary Heroes平凡的英雄

        My uncle lived a well-to-do life, a peaceful one, neither that poor nor that rich. In order to support his family better, he got another job to do in his spare time. He helped an old lady with her meals as a cook could manage easily. He would not only cook for her but also chat with her to make her last days tolerable, even enjoyable.
        However, one Sunday morning found her pouring the boiling water into a tiny teacup with shaking hands. She could not hold the thermos steadily and the bottle was about to fall. On seeing this, my uncle jumped into action. Without thinking twice, he dashed to grab the falling bottle. He prevented the lady from being burnt by the steaming hot water, though his own hands got seriously damaged.Without complaining, he comforted her, as he didn't want to see her feeling guilty. Later he reflected, “I was meant to help her. This is exactly what I should do.”
        Now the old lady passed away, leaving a note which said, “My dear, you are more than a cook; you are also my friend, my son and my savior. You shall inherit half of my property as a reward for your kindness to an old soul.”
        Maybe a hero doesn't exist everywhere around us, but occasionally we will come across one. And they all have something in common---responsibility, which will turn an ordinary person into a hero.

       我叔叔過著平靜的生活，既不窮也不富。為了更好地養(yǎng)家，他在業(yè)余時間又找了一份工作，照顧一位老太太吃飯，因為身為廚師的他很容易應(yīng)付，他不僅為她做飯，還和她聊天，讓她能在最后的日子里愉快度過。一個星期天早上，叔叔發(fā)現(xiàn)她用顫抖的手把開水倒進(jìn)一個小杯里，她拿不穩(wěn)保溫瓶，瓶子就要掉下來了?？吹竭@個，我叔叔立即跑去抓起落下的瓶子，盡管他自己的手受到了嚴(yán)重的燙傷，卻沒有因此抱怨，反而安慰老太太。老太太去世后，留下一張紙條，上面寫著：“親愛的，你不僅僅是一個廚師，你還是我的朋友，我兒子和我的救世主。你要接受我一半的產(chǎn)業(yè)，作為你對一個老靈魂恩惠的獎賞。”也許英雄并不存在于我們周圍，但偶爾我們卻會遇到。他們都有共同點——責(zé)任感，將一個普通人變成英雄。
