卖书增加了我10000%的自尊心

网络上看到这样一段很励志的英语句子：卖书增加了我10000%的自尊心
英文原文“I’d been doing nothing but drinking for months on end, so I was getting pretty despondent. Then one day, a guy walked by with a hand truck, and dropped off two big boxes of books for anyone to take. I decided to set up a bookstand. I got a folding table, and three milk cartons, and set up right across the street.Pretty soon, more people were bringing me books, and I would sell them for $1 apiece. I had a pretty cool selection. I even had books from the 1800’s. But I sold them all for just $1. I called my business The Book Worm. I had a logo and everything—a little worm with reading glasses.I didn’t make much money. Just enough for food and some drinks, but it increased my self-esteem 10,000 percent. I never thought I’d be running my own business. I was drinking less and everything. But somebody took my folding table, so I’m out of business until I can find a new one. It sounds kind of ridiculous, but the whole business hinges on a folding table.”

中文翻译：

“我一直连续了几个月什么都没干就光喝酒，为此我变得很沮丧。然后有一天，一个伙计推着手推车经过，扔下了两大箱子不要的书。于是我就决定弄一个书摊，我找到了一把折叠桌和三个牛奶盒，就把书摊摆在街对面。很快，更多的人给我送来了书，然后我每本以1美元出售。我有很好的一系列精品书籍。我甚至还有1800年代的书。但所有书我每本就卖1美元。我称我的书摊为‘书虫’。我还有商标——一只戴着花镜的虫子。我没赚多少钱，就够买一些吃的和喝的，但这件事增加了我10000%的自尊心。我之前从没想过我会经营自己的生意。我酒也喝得少了。但有人拿走了我的折叠桌，为此我停业了，直到我能找到一张新的桌子。这听起来有点荒谬，但整个生意取决于一张折叠桌。”
