Like many major cities worldwide, the historic U.S. port city of San Francisco, California, has thousands of homeless people living on the streets. And that`s despite the fact that local officials have taken a number of steps to help them. 下一个故事.和世界上许多大城市一样,美国历史上著名的港口城市旧金山,也有成千上万无家可归的人住在街道上.尽管当地官员采取了一些措施来帮助他们,但这仍然是事实. In 2013, Doniece Sandoval joined those efforts. She started by turning old city buses in the places where those in need can get towels, hygiene kits, razors and a shower. Today, she`s a CNN Hero. 2013年,多尼斯・桑多瓦尔开始奉献自己的努力.她开始把旧的城市公交车放在那些需要毛巾、卫生用品、剃须刀和淋浴的地方.她是我们本期CNN的英雄人物. DONIECE SANDOVAL, CNN HERO: San Francisco is one of the most beautiful places to live. However, you will see thousands upon thousands of people who are living and sleeping on our streets. Every person I saw was struggling with hygiene. 多尼斯・桑多瓦尔,CNN英雄人物:旧金山是最美丽的居住地.但是你可以看到成千上万的人露宿街头.我所看到的人都在与卫生做斗争. If you were trying to apply for a job, or apply for housing, you can`t do that if you can`t get yourself cleaned. So, it`s simple, but it`s critical. 如果你想申请一份工作,或者申请住房,如果你健康存在问题,就不能成功.这很简单,但很关键. Taking action was not even a choice at that point. It`s just something I had to do. 在这一点上,采取行动甚至不是一种选择.而是必须做的事情. We began by converting busses into showers and toilets. To increase our efficiency, we decided to switch to the mobile, commercial shower trailer units so that we can get them out there faster and meet need more effectively. 我们开始把公交车改装成淋浴和厕所.为了提高效率,我们决定改用流动的商业淋浴房车,这样我们就能更快地完成工作,并且更有效地满足需求. By virtue of being mobile, we`re able to go into different regions of the city where people are. 由于我们的帮助是流动的,这样就能到达城市的不同区域. Are you looking to sign up for the shower? 你是想报名淋浴吗? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I will sign up. 未知男:是的. SANDOVAL: OK. Great. 桑多瓦尔:好的. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE) three. Steve, one. We`re good to go. 未知男:史蒂芬.我们可以走了. SANDOVAL: These are people who get turned away often, who get treated poorly and our ideas just to open our arms and we`ve expanded our programming to include pop-up care villages, which bring a ton of providers to the street to provide everything from haircuts to medical services. 桑多瓦尔:这些人经常被拒之门外,得到不好的待遇,我们的想法就是拥抱他们.我们扩大了帮助的项目,包括卫生项目,我们汇聚了大量的供应商来到这条街道,提供从理发到医疗等各种服务. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You needed a hygiene kit. 未知男:你需要一套卫生用品. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. 未知男:嗯UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There you go, Walter. 未知男:给你,沃尔特. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right. Thanks. 未知男:好的.谢谢. SANDOVAL: Hygiene connects you to your sense of dignity. 桑多瓦尔:卫生与你的尊严相关. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I feel better. 未知男:我感觉好多了. SANDOVAL: There are countless success stories that we witness over the years, people getting employed and finding housing, or overcoming addictions. 桑多瓦尔:这些年有很多成功的案例,人们找到了工作、住房、克服了毒瘾. Thank you, Paul. Have a good shower. 谢谢你,保罗!淋浴愉快! The work that we do matters and is making a difference. 我们做的工作很重要,并会带来巨大的改变. 听力原文: Next story today.
