篇一：An Unforgettable Incident
Some people live in the world for body while others for dignity.
I once took a walk along the street on a Saturday dusk, with a Pepsi can in my hand. An old woman in ragged clothes staggered towards me,with a sack on the backanother poor woman living on collecting used cans, jars and tins! Walking nearer she looked up at me and then fixed her eyes on my can.At that time, I hadn＇t finished my cola, so I gave her several coins instead.
I was wrong.
She stared at me for a few seconds and handed back the money. Quite confused I asked:"Why not? Isn＇t that what you want?"
"I am not a beggar," she said seriously, word by word.
Instantly, I felt so sorry. I had intended to help her, regarded her as a beggar instead of an ordinary man. Thus I hurt her.What I could do at that moment was only to drink up the cola and handed her the emptied can. This time, she gave me a smile with some gratification and gratitude in her eyes. The woman is poor in material life but is so respectable as a man. I am not only moved but also have learned a good lesson.
简评
这篇短文全长214字，却生动地展现了一个贫而不贱的老妪形象。现在的大街小巷上，常可看见老人、儿童、甚至中年人街头乞讨。这些人中有些肯定是为生活所迫，但见得多了则难免让人怀疑他们中的有些人是否在骗取我们的同情。而这位衣衫槛褛、生活困顿的老妇人却靠“拾荒”自食其力。文章对老妇人的`描写着墨不多，但短短几句话，一个虽然身处社会最底层却自尊自强的可敬形象却跃然纸上。
文贵在新。这篇文章的语言虽然不很老练，内容安排也有不少可以改进之处，但和很多老生常谈、无病呻吟的文章比起来，让人觉得言之有物、感情真挚。
