Then she did something that shocked me,接着她对我说了一句话,让我大吃一惊
she said "Did you eat lunch?"她问,“你吃过午饭了吗?”

as she hands me a bag of grapes she had left from lunch.她随即递给我一袋子葡萄,这是她吃午餐时留下的。
That bag of grapes changed my day,这袋葡萄让我的这一天焕然一新
and in turn changed my life at least a little.还让我的人生起了变化,哪怕只有十分微小的变化
She literally mommed me.她对我的关怀简直像对小孩子一样。

and it was the most caring thing I’ve ever had a boss do.这是我遇到的老板做过的最温暖人心的事情。
