陌生人的鼓励 让我动力爆棚！

A week ago I started running again for the first time in over a year.
一周之前，我又开始长跑了，这是我罢跑一年多以后第一次跑步。
 I\'ve been pushing myself hard every single day.
这段时间以来，我每天都对自己非常苛刻
Today I was running on a trail, and I passed a guy.
我正在一条小路上跑步，偶然经过一个男人身边。
 
He made eye contact and gave me a thumbs up.
他和我对视了一样，还对我竖起了大拇指。
 I was running back, and I passed him again.
我往回跑的时候，又遇到了他。
This time he said "keep it up buddy."
这次，他对我说，“加油，伙计！”
I dont know why, but that was like rocket fuel.
我不知道为什么，只觉得自己像是打了鸡血一般。
 
I was almost blown up,
我感到自己身体里元气满满，简直快要爆了
but that got me going and I finished strong.
但这也支持着我继续跑下去，最后出色的完成了跑步的路程。
I saw him again on my last lap.
我跑最后一圈的时候，又看到了他。
He asked me about my goal for the day,
他问我这一天的目标是什么

and we talked for a second.
我们还一起走了一会儿
He gave me some encouraging words
他对我说了一些鼓励的话
 
and we moved on.
我们就各走各的路了。
It was a simple thing,
这只是一件小事
 but it made me push harder when I was ready to give in.
但是当我想要放弃的时候，它告诉我要再推自己一把。
Point is, if you see someone out there working hard,
我想说的是，如果你看到某人也正在拼搏
a little encouragement goes a long way.
一句小小的鼓励一定会让他受益良久
Try it out.
去试试吧！
