"I mow your lawn," he said again, then walked away. I went into my house unhappy. Yes, these Depression days were difficult, but how could I to turn away a person who had come to me for help?
"I mow your lawn," he said. It was hard to comprehend his broken English.
I asked him his name. "Tony Trivisonno," he replied. "I mow your lawn." I told Tony that I couldn't afford a gardener.

He came from a rocky farm in Italy, somewhere south of Rome. How or when he got to America, I don't know. But one evening I found him standing in the driveway, behind my garage. He was about five-foot-seven or eight, and thin.
他来自意大利罗马以南某地———个满地石子的农庄。他什么时候怎么到美国的， 我不清楚。 不过，有天晚上，我看到他站在我家车库后面的车道上。他身高五英尺 七、八左右，人很瘦。 “我割你的草坪，”他说。他那结结巴巴的英语很难听懂。 我问他叫什么名字。“托尼?特里韦索诺，”他回答说。“我割你的草坪。”我对 托尼讲，本人雇不起园丁。 “我割你的草坪，”他又说道，随后便走开了。我走进屋子，心里有点不快。没错， 眼下这大萧条的日子是不好过，可我怎么能把一个上门求助的人就这么打发走呢 ?
等我第二天晚上下班回到家，草坪已修整过了，花园除了草，人行道也清扫过了。 我便问太太是怎么回事。 “有个人把割草机从汽车库里推出来就在院子里忙活起来，”她回答说。“我还以 为是你雇他来的。” 我就把前晚的事跟她说了。我俩都觉得奇怪，他怎么没提出要工钱。 接下来的两天挺忙，我把托尼的事给忘了。我们在尽力重整业务，要让一部分工人 回厂里来。但在星期五，回家略微早了些，我又在汽车库后面看到了托尼。我对他 干的活夸奖了几句。
Assume假设、假定 Eg：It is reasonable to assume that the economy will continue to improve 认为经济将继续好转是有道理的
It’s generally assumed that stress is caused by too much work
"A man got the lawn mower out of the garage and worked on the yard," she answered. "I assumed you had hired him."
I told her of my experience the night before. We thought it strange that he had not asked for pay.
The next two days were busy, and I forgot about Tony. We were trying to rebuild our business and bring some of our workers back to the plants. But on Friday, returning home a little early, I saw Tony again, behind the garage. I complimented him on the work he had done.
~ary,adj ~about sth Eg,she was extranely ~ about his work .
"I mowຫໍສະໝຸດ your lawn," he said.
I managed to work out some kind of small weekly pay, and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks. My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were any heavy objects to lift or things to fix.
