扫清困惑

It runs in the(33)family. Michael's father always helped the poor as he believed it made everyone happier.

困惑： 长难句

分析： 这句话属于难句，理解这句话的关键在于对 run 这个词的理解，其次是对整个句意的理解。本句中， run 表示“运行，运转”， it 指代上文 Greenberg 赠送手套这件事，字面意思是“这件事情在他们家一直是这样运转的”。此处为了更好地理解，我们稍微转化下翻译，译为“这样的品行在他们家都一直流传”。

全文翻译

迈克尔·格林伯格是一个非常受欢迎的纽约人。他不是在运动或艺术领域有名，而是街道上的人们都（ 16 ） 知道 他，尤其是那些（ 17 ） 贫穷的 人。

对于这些人来说，他是“手套”格林伯格。他是如何获得那个（ 18 ） 名字 的呢？他看起来和任何其他的商人都一样，穿着一套西装并且提着公文包。但是他却（ 19 ） 不同 。他的公文包里总是装着手套。

在冬天，格林伯格先生（ 20 ） 表现 得不像其他纽约人那样，那些人总是看着人行道，（ 21 ） 沿着 街道 匆匆赶路 。他打量着周围的（ 22 ） 人们 。当他（ 23 ） 看到 有人没戴手套的时候就会停下来。他会给他们一副手套然后（ 24 ） 继续前行 ，寻找更多的（ 25 ） 手冷 的人。

在冬日里，格林伯格先生（ 26 ） 赠送 手套。在一年剩下的日子里，他会（ 27 ） 买 很多手套。那些听说过他事迹的人会（ 28 ） 送 手套给他，于是他的公寓里有很多手套。

格林伯格先生在 21 年前就（ 29 ） 开始 做这件事了。现在，很多贫穷的纽约人都了解他并且（ 30 ） 理解 他的行为。但是那些不了解他的人有时候还是会被他（ 31 ） 惊讶到 。他们不了解，他只是想让他们（ 32 ） 开心 而已。

这样的品行在（ 33 ） 他们家 都一直流传。迈克尔的父亲以前也经常帮助穷人，因为他觉得这样可以让每个人都更开心。迈克尔·格林伯格也（ 34 ） 同样 觉得如此。一副手套也许是件（ 35 ） 小事 ，但它却能在冬天发挥很大的作用。 WIGfQBUN+nVIjLRVSQ8QfWhZYJUm70d2K4I+F++i7BmFSZakLDOendM0ZHYPl5Ps
