　　现在怎么那么多机器翻译,动动手有助于提高自身英语...不理解... 　　“贫穷朴实”,“令人同情的穷人”当我想到穷人的时候这些字眼便印入脑海.但同时会想到那些或许因为酗酒,或许因为吸毒而毁了自己一生,甚至为了自己享乐破坏他人幸福的一群人.也许正如人们常说,酗酒和毒瘾真的是一种“病”,但我个人以为-当然不是基于正式调研-多数酒鬼和吸毒者属于“活该穷困”的人.这也是从很大程度上解释了为什么我不施舍乞丐几个铜板. 　　当然了,在路人中,也有一些真正可以被称为“值得同情的穷人”.值得什么呢?我的铜板么?还是政府补助?我的父母这样教育我,做慈善公益是好事,但如果我施舍乞丐几个零钱,我在做慈善么,我帮到别人了么,我也许只是在鼓励别人不要争取救助?更糟糕的情况是,我是不是在支持诈骗行为? 　　如果你相信私人捐助有价值,你可以帮助需要帮助的人或者帮助慈善机构.施舍一个乞丐也许真的帮到了某个迫切需要帮助的人.帮助慈善机构,换个角度来看,你可以感到你的钱可能花得明智.是的,面对一个乞丐,你可能感到这个特别不幸的人此刻需要帮助--一杯咖啡或者一个三明治--如果不趁现在伸手到口袋里掏一掏,不可能帮他什么.但我也在考虑,我碰到的乞丐可以不依靠我的铜板好好活下去,或许他们正因为没钱去买酒喝,买毒吸,反而活得更好.
