文本：
A middle-aged 1 gentleman walked into the make-up section of a department store. The salespeople 2 approached him assuming he was buying goods for his significant other.
一个中年人走进了一家百货商场的化妆品柜台。销售员靠近他，想着他应该是要给自己的另一半买些东西。
To their surprise, he begged them to teach him how to put on make-up. They were a bit taken a back, but seeing as the store was not particularly bustling 3 at that hour, indulged him. He took detailed 4 notes throughout the rather thorough lesson, and finally at the end they simply couldn't hold it in any longer, and asked what had inspired him to learn this art.
让他们吃惊的是，这个中年男人祈求销售员们教自己如何去化妆。因为店内人不多，所以销售员们就答应了这个请求。中年男人在听讲解的过程中甚至做了很详细的笔记，再也忍不住的销售员终于问起了原因。
He replied, 'My dear wife recently lost her sight in a terrible accident, and so she can't put on her own make-up anymore. We've been married over two decades, and she knows I think she's the most beautiful woman in the world no matter what, but when we go out nowadays she doesn't have the confidence she used to have. I came here because I want to be able to put her make-up on for her，so she can feel as beautiful on the outside as I know she is on the inside.'
中年男人回答，在最近的一次车祸中，我亲爱的老婆失去了视力，她无法再为自己化妆。我们结婚已经有20个年头。无论怎样，我都是爱她的，这个她比谁都清楚，但车祸后她失去了以往的自信。我到这来学化妆是为了让她感觉好起来，实际我知道她美丽的内心一直在那里。
