　　為饑民種一排蔬果Plant a row for the hungry
　　It was a cold night in Washington, D.C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs: "Don't give money to panhandlers." So I shook my head and kept walking.
　　它在華盛頓特區是一個寒冷的夜晚，而且當一個男人接近了我的時候，我正在返回酒店。他問是否我會給他一些錢，如此他可以拿東西吃。我將會讀告示: " 不要把錢給乞丐。 " 因此我搖頭了而且保持步行。
　　I wasn't prepared for a reply, but with resignation, he said, "I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!" But I kept on walking.
　　我沒被準備答復，但是與辭職，他說, "我真的是無家的，而且我真的很饑餓! 你能和我來而且看我吃!" 但是我在步行上保持了。
　　The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a buck or two even if he had been lying. On a frigid, cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being.
　　事件為星期的其它部分煩擾了我。即使他一直說謊，我在我的口袋中有了錢，而且它不會殺我移交一塊錢或者二。在一個寒冷又寒冷的夜晚,沒有比較少量, 我假定了同伴人類的最壞的事情。
　　Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him. I tried to rationalize my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you're not supposed to give money to panhandlers.
　　飛回到安克拉治，我無法不想到他。我試著合理化我無法藉由假定政府機關、教堂和慈善團體幫助在那里喂他。此外，你沒被推想把錢給乞丐。
　　Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens dedicated to Bean's? Dedicate a row and take it down to Bean's. Clean and simple.
　　某處在西雅圖上方，我開始為安克拉治寫我的每周花園專欄每日的新聞。意外地，我提出了一個主意。豆子的咖啡館, 在安克拉治的湯廚房,每天喂數以百計的饑餓的阿拉斯加人。為什么不試著爭取我所有的讀者在被呈現到豆子的他們的花園中種植一排? 對豆子獻出一排而且把它拿下來。干凈的和簡單的。
　　We didn't keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And salve for my conscience.
　　我們然后沒有把記錄保存回來，但是主意開始起飛。當他們拿某事進入的時候，人們會傳真我或者呼叫。只種植花的人們捐贈了他們。為精神的食物。而且為我的良心的軟膏。
　　In 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America held their annual convention in Anchorage and after learning of Anchorage's program, Plant a Row for Bean's became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The original idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write or talk about planting a row for the hungry sometime during the month of April.
　　因為豆子變成了饑餓者的植物排，在 1995 年，花園作家美國的協會在安克拉治舉行了他們的年度大會而且在安克拉治的計畫的學習之后，種植一排。最初的主意將在四月期間某一個時間讓花園作家美國的協會的每個成員寫或者談論饑餓人的種植排。

　　I am stunned that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America - and we're seventy million strong - plants one row for the hungry, we can make quite a dent in the number of neighbors who don't have enough to eat. May be then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.
