在学校发出建议住校老师每周外出一次购物的倡议后，他积极响应。然而有一天，收到一张总务主任发来的一张照片时，我心头一紧，心想Ted怎么又跑出去了呢，前天刚去过超市啊。要知道Ted老师已经60岁了，在这个非常时期，他每出去一次，我们就担心一次。于是我给他发了消息，善意提醒他尽量一周只外出一次购物。看到Ted的回复后，我却不禁含着眼泪欣慰一笑。原来当天Ted老师并不是为自己购物，而是为Lucia老师母女去购买蔬菜。Lucia老师刚来不到半年，带个九岁的女儿，本想趁寒假好好熟悉一下武汉这个城市，却遇上这次疫情，格外紧张，也没有交通工具，从放假就出过一次门，买了些基本生活物资，没有买到蔬菜。Ted老师知道后，主动提议帮母女俩去购物，因为他有电动车，也知道哪里可以买到。而且为了保护自己，一大早就出了门，去了一个比较偏的超市，那里人少，结账时基本没有人排队，买完就立刻返回了学校。

He responded to the school's suggestion that the resident teachers go out shopping once a week. However, one day, when I received a photo from the director of general affairs, my heart tightened. I thought, why did Ted go out again? He had just been to the supermarket the day before. Ted is 60 years old, and every time he goes out in these times, we are concerned. So I sent him a friendly reminder. When I read Ted's response, I smiled with relief and tears. It turned out that Ted was not shopping for himself, but for Lucia and her daughter. Lucia has just been here for less than half a year, with a nine-year-old daughter. She planned to take advantage of the winter vacation to get familiar with Wuhan. However the epidemic took place. She was very nervous and had no means of transportation to shop. She has only been out one time for some basic stuff but no vegetables. Ted has a scooter and knows where to buy vegetables, so he offered to shop for them. In order to be safe, early in the morning, he went to a relatively partial supermarket early in the morning. There were few people and basically no line on the checkout. He bought what they needed and immediately returned school.

我没有去问Lucia母女蔬菜可不可口，但我想她们会觉得这个寒冷漫长的冬天格外温暖

吧。  

   I didn't ask Lucia whether the vegetables were tasty, but I thought they'd find the cold, long winter especially warm.
