進入中英對照讀新聞─Knitters spreading kindness by giving scarves to strangers 為陌生人織圍巾，散布溫暖
◎蔡子岳
More than 400 scarves were hanging on a park fence earlier this month in downtown Manchester, waiting for people with chilly necks and shoulders to snatch them up for the winter season.
曼徹斯特市中心一處公園圍籬本月初掛上超過400條圍巾，讓頸部和肩膀受凍的人們取用以防禦寒冬。
Within a day, the scarves were gone.
不過一天，圍巾就被取用一空。
The hundreds of hand-knitted scarves are part of a project started two years ago by the Rev. Ruth Gallot, who was looking for a way to inspire parishioners in Auburn to do something more than write a check.
牧師蓋洛2年前發起一項計畫，希望找到方法啟發奧本教區信眾，除捐款外也能多做善事，這數百條手織圍巾便是其中的一部分。
The first year, parishioners made 75 scarves to give out to people in the community who needed or wanted them.
第一年，教區信眾捐獻75條圍巾給有需要或索取的社區居民。
"I want to see people being warm. If I can do that little thing, I’m glad to do it," said Christine Hrycuna, who knitted 50 scarves this year.
今年已編織50條圍巾的海庫納說：「我希望人們能夠保暖。如果我能做這點小事，我樂意去做。」
The reaction to the scarf project has been a mix of surprise and admiration, with many visitors finding it hard to believe they are getting a scarf for free.
這項圍巾計畫的回應包括驚喜和讚揚，許多訪客不敢相信可以免費獲贈圍巾。
