TED演讲：Theartofasking请求的艺术(5)

我喜欢这样幸运的、随机的亲近感觉因为我常常做沙发客。在豪宅里，我们的每一位团队成员都有自己的房间，但是没有无线网，在朋克乐迷占据的废弃房屋里，所有人都睡在一间房间的地板上，没有卫生间但是有无线网，这一优势使得第二种方式成为了更好的选择。(Laughter)
My crew once pulled our van up to a really poor Miami neighborhood and we found out that our couchsurfing host for the night was an 18-year-old girl, still living at home, and her family were all undocumented immigrants from Honduras .
我的团队曾经把车停在一个非常贫穷的迈阿密社区我们发现当晚招待我们的是一个依然与父母同住的18岁女孩， 他们一家人都是来自洪都拉斯的非法移民。
And that night, her whole family took the couches and she slept together with her mom so that we could take their beds. And I lay there thinking, these people have so little. Is this fair?
那天晚上，他们一家人都睡沙发，她和她妈妈挤在一起让我们睡他们的床。我就躺在那里想，这些人拥有的东西这么少。这样公平吗？
And in the morning, her mom taught us how to try to make tortillas and wanted to give me a Bible, and she took me aside and she said to me in her broken English, "Your music has helped my daughter so much. Thank you for staying here. We"re all so grateful." And I thought, this is fair. This is this. 早晨，她妈妈教我们做玉米薄饼（tortilla），还想给我一本《圣经》， 她把我叫到一边，用支离破碎的英语对我说， “你的音乐对我女儿的帮助很大。
