双语：救世军圣诞摇铃筹款，获大额匿名捐赠的金币

　　This secret Santa has a heart of gold.

　　这位神秘的圣诞老人有一颗金子般的心。

　　An anonymous donor dropped three solid gold Mexican pesos — worth a total of $3,600 — in one of the Salvation Army’s iconic red kettles Friday outside a Walmart Neighborhood Market in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

　　周五，在佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡市的沃尔玛社区超市外面，一名匿名捐赠者在救世军标志性的红水壶里放了3块总价值3600美元的纯金墨西哥比索。

　　This isn’t the first time the nonprofit received the gift of gold, Alyse Gossman, director of development for the Salvation Army of Broward County, tells South Florida’s Sun-Sentinel.

　　布劳沃德县的救世军开发主管阿里斯·高斯曼告诉《南佛罗里达太阳哨兵报》，这不是这家非营利机构第一次收到黄金礼物。

　　The benevolent benefactor is believed to have made similarly lucrative kettle drops in Broward over the past five years, Gossman says. In 2017, three were found. The year before that — five.

　　格斯曼说，据说过去五年里，这位仁慈的捐助者在布劳沃德县的红水壶里也放过同样价值不菲的金币。2017年放了3枚。2016年是5枚。

　　Each came in one at a time, but volunteers believe the donations were all from the same person — because each gold coin was wrapped neatly in a dollar bill.

　　金币是分几次一枚一枚的放进去的，但志愿者们相信所有的捐款都来自同一个人，因为每一枚金币都整齐地包在一美元钞票里。

　　“In prior years, the coins came earlier in the month,” says Gossman. “This time around, when they didn’t come in, we just thought maybe something happened to the donor.”

　　高斯曼说:“前几年在这月初就看到金币了。这一次，金币没有来的时候，我们只是觉得捐赠者可能发生了什么事。”

　　Then came Saturday morning’s surprise windfall.

　　然后星期六早上的意外之财就来了。

　　“We’d like to thank the anonymous donor or donors who are keeping this new charitable tradition close to their heart,” says Gossman.

　　高斯曼说:“我们要感谢那位/那些不愿透露姓名的捐赠者，他/他们将这种新的慈善传统铭记在心。”

　　The funds raised through red kettle donations are used to fund local food, shelter and social service programs.

　　通过红水壶募捐来的资金被用来资助当地的食品、避难所和社会服务项目。

　　“Thank U in JESUS name AMEN AMEN AMEN THANK U,” one grateful Fort Lauderdale resident posted on the Salvation Army of Broward County’s Facebook page.

　　劳德代尔堡市的一位心存感激的居民在布劳沃德县救世军的Facebook页面上写道：“以耶稣的名义谢谢你，阿门，阿门，阿门，谢谢你。”
