布莱克先生刻薄对邻，夫妇善意相待终感化。布莱克反思改行，学会礼貌待人。

There was a very mean man named Mr. Black who lived on the sixth floor of an apartment building. He was so impolite to his neighbors that no one even knew his first name was Adam. He never said hello to anyone, and he left his rubbish out in the hallway. He always complained (抱怨) about all his neighbors and the noise they made. He even got upset when the couple who lived next door to him, Catherine and David, had a baby. Instead of saying congratulations, he loudly complained about how the baby would surely cry all night.

有一个非常刻薄的人，名叫布莱克先生，住在一栋公寓楼的六楼。他对邻居非常无礼，甚至没有人知道他的名字叫亚当。他从不跟任何人打招呼，还把垃圾丢在走廊里。他总是抱怨所有的邻居，抱怨他们制造噪音。甚至当隔壁的凯瑟琳和戴维夫妇生孩子时，他也很生气。他不但不说恭喜，反而大声抱怨孩子一定会哭个通宵。

One day when he was leaving his apartment, Mr. Black saw that his rubbish was gone. In its place, he found a note from David. “Good morning, Mr. Black. I saw your rubbish here, and since I was on my way out, I picked it up for you. I wanted to save you a trip. Have a nice day, David.” However, Mr. Black decided to ignore this act of kindness. He began thinking about the terrible traffic he would surely have to deal with on his way to work.

有一天，布莱克先生离开公寓时发现垃圾不见了。在垃圾的地方，他发现了一张大卫写的字条。“早上好，布莱克先生。我看到你的垃圾在这里，因为我正要出门，所以就帮你捡起来了。我想让你少跑一趟祝你愉快，戴维。” 然而，布莱克先生决定对这一善举置之不理。他开始考虑上班路上一定会遇到的糟糕交通状况。

But as time went on, Mr. Black started to feel a little silly. No matter how impolite he was, the couple always smiled at him and politely said hello. It became harder and harder for him not to simply say hello back.

但随着时间的推移，布莱克先生开始觉得自己有点傻。无论他多么不礼貌，这对夫妇总是对他微笑，礼貌地打招呼。他越来越难不回敬他们一句 “你好”。
