Working for the customers（为顾客而工作）

Working for the customers（为顾客而工作）
I was fifteen when I walked into MeCarly's bookstore in Ashland，As I was looking at titles on the shelves，The man behind the counter，The shop owner，Asked if i'd like a job，I needed to start saving for college，So I said yes，I worked after school and during the summer for the lowest wage，And the job helped pay for my freshman year of college，I would work many other jobs：I made coffee in the Students Union during college，I was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U.S. Forest Service，But selling books was one of the most satisfying.
One day a woman asked me for books on cancer，She seemed fearful，I showed her almost everything we had at the time in store and found other books we could order，She left the store less worried，I've always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.
Years later，As a tv reporter in Los Angeles，I heard about an immigrant child WHO was born with his fingers connected，Web like，His family could not afford a corrective operation and the boy lived in shame，Hiding his hand in his pocket.
I persuaded my boss to let me do the story，After my story was broadcast，A doctor and a nurse called，Offering to perform the operation for free.
I visited the boy in the recovery room soon after the operation，The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say
" thank you"，I felt a sense of pleasure.
In the past，While I was at MeCarley's bookstore，I always sensed I was working for the customers ,not the store，Today
It's the same，NBC News pays salary，But I feel as if I work for the viewers，Helping them make sense of the world.
为顾客而工作
我15岁时就在阿诗兰的麦克卡里书店工作，当我在看书架上书目的标题时，在柜台后面的老板，问我，你是否喜欢这个工作？我需要为大学开始积攒学费，所以我讲，是的，我是在课后和在暑期到这里来挣这份最低的工资的，这个工作可以帮我付大学一年级的学费，我还要干很多其他的工作的，我在大学的学生会制作咖啡，我还是一个旅馆的服务员，甚至为美国森林服务局制作地图，但是卖书是最有满足感的一项工作。
一天，一位妇女问我要找关于癌症的书，她看起来有些恐惧，我给她看了那时店里有的一切书籍，还找到一些其他可以订购的书，她离开书店时，好像不那么焦虑了，我一直记着能帮助她给我带来的骄傲感。
若干年后在洛杉矶作为一个电视台的记者，我听到一个移民小孩出生时的手指是连着，像蹼状似，他的家庭负担不起一个修复手术，这个孩子一直生活在羞涩之中，把他的手藏在衣兜里。
我说服我的老板，让我报道这个故事，当我的故事广播后，一个大夫和一个护士打来电话，提出可以为他做免费手术。
手术后的康复期间，我看望了病房中的孩子，他做的第一件事就是举起他手术后的手说道“谢谢你”，我感到一种幸福的情感。
过去，在麦克卡里书店时，我老是有一种为顾客服务，而不是为书店工作的感觉，现在仍然如此，Nbc新闻付给我工资，但是我的感觉是为观众工作，帮助他们会使世界更美好。
