Amy Price was not planning to feed more than 100 kids when she woke up on Wednesday morning.

周三早上刚醒来时，艾米·普赖斯并没有准备给100个以上的孩子供应午餐。

The mother of three from Lorain County Ohio was thinking of her eighth-grade son who would be spending the day at home due to schools closing for cold temperatures when she had an idea.

这个来自俄亥俄州罗兰县三个孩子的母亲，在想到她在上8年级的儿子因学校迫于天气寒冷关闭而将在家待上一整天时有了这个主意。

“I was happy for my son to have the day off and the kids who didn’t have to walk in the freezing cold but then I started thinking about the kids who may not eat” Price 41 an attorney and real estate agent told ABC News. “I remember being a child services prosecutor and caseworkers mentioning sometimes that kids may not eat on snow days when they’re home from school.”

“我很高兴我儿子这天不用去学校，也为那些不用在寒冷的天气里走路去学校的孩子高兴，然而我想到了那些可能没有吃饭的孩子。“41岁的普莱斯是一位律师和房地产经纪人，她告诉美国广播新闻。“我记得有名儿童服务检察官和社会工作者们曾说过，有时有些孩子因雪天而被迫空腹离校回家。”

Price took to Facebook and posted a short message which she shared on her own page and local community pages.

普赖斯在她的脸书网个人主页和本地社区主页上发了一条简短动态。

“If you live in the Lorain County area and your kids depend on school-provided breakfast and lunch to be able to eat today and they do not have school please inbox me” she wrote. “Someone from my company will drop some items off to you. Please feel free to share.”

“如果你住在罗兰县，你的孩子今天本应在学校吃早餐和午餐，但是他们现在没有学校可去的话，请给我留言”她写道，“我的公司会有人提供些吃的，请转发。”

Price thought she would go to the grocery store and buy some meat for sandwiches and chips and fresh fruit to put in lunch bags but the overwhelming response changed her plan.

普赖斯觉得她应该去店里买些做三明治的肉、薯条、和新鲜水果放在午餐盒里，但是潮水般的回复让她改变了原有的计划。

“Some people even contacted me for their neighbors and grandchildren and nieces and nephews” she said. “They just kept pouring in.”

“有人甚至为了他们的邻居、孙子和侄子侄女而联系我，”她说道，“人数一直在不断增加。”

Price received so many messages that she instead called a local McDonald’s and place an order for more than 100 cheeseburgers and French fries.  

由于收到太多回复了，以至于普赖斯最后改成给本地的麦当劳打电话，然后买了100多份芝士汉堡和薯条。

Price her husband with their 13-year-old son in tow and her adult daughter with her 4-year-old in tow then hand-delivered the lunches to homes across five cities.

她的丈夫和其13岁的儿子一队，她已成年的女儿和她4岁的孩子一队，然后他们来返五个城市把午餐亲手送到各家各户中。

“We knocked on every door” Price said. “Some kids were home alone and were taught well and wouldn’t open the door and we’d leave it there and I know they got it because the parents would private message me with their thanks.

“我们敲了每一扇门”，普赖斯说。“有些孩子独自一人在家，被家长教育得很好所以不会开门，我们就把午餐留在门前。我知道他们拿到了，因为他们的父母会发私信向我道谢。”

“One parent wrote ‘You would have thought you gave my kid $100 he’s so excited’” she recalled. “Everyone was just so appreciative and thankful.”  

“一位家长写道：‘你会以为你给了我的孩子100美元，因为他是在是太兴奋了。’”她回忆道。“每个人都非常赞赏和感激。”

Price’s good deed quickly spread through the community. With schools closed for the rest of the week other community members organized lunch runs for Thursday and Friday.

普赖斯的善举很快传遍了整个社区。学校停课一周的剩下日子里，其他社区成员组织了星期四和星期五的午餐发放活动。

Some people donated money while others came in person to help often bringing along their own kids who were home from school.  

一些人捐钱而其他人经常带自己放学回家的孩子亲自帮忙。

Another 100 lunches were delivered on Thursday and Friday according to Price.

根据普赖斯所说，星期四和星期五还送了100份午餐。

At the risk of sounding like a "troll" why did they make the food so unhealthy?
Chef Boyardee? McDonalds? There are so many healthy options that would have been just as easy fast and cost less money... and be healthy. This seems like a wasted opportunity to put some good food in some deserving mouths.

他们为什么要冒着被当作“骗子”的风险去提供些不健康的食物？柏亚迪厨师（Chef Boyardee）食品？麦当劳？有那么多更经济且一样方便、快速、健康的食品选择不是吗.....倒像是浪费了把好食物给值得的人吃的机会。

There are some really cold-hearted comments. I suppose those people have fully bellies and are warm in their smug self-righteous positions. I'm glad America Is Great for them. Not all are so lucky.

有些评论真冷血。我猜那些人吃得饱穿得暖，所以这么自以为是。我很欣慰，美国之所以这么伟大就是因为这么一群人。但不是所有人都这么幸运。

Good to see something wonderful come out of the county I’m from. When I tell you the majority of the county is financially depressed I mean it. This woman is very kind and thoughtful to do this to families who need this.

能看到在我的国家发生了这么美好的事情真是太好了。我是认真的，这个国家的大部分地方经济并不景气。这位女士能够为需要的家庭做这件事，真是非常善良非常体贴。

Where are the Sloppy Joe's?

牛肉酱三明治去哪儿了？

...then the kids opened their cheeseburgers and cried because it had onions on them and didn’t eat the fries because they wanted apples!!! I’m glad for this moms hard work and I really hope that wasn’t the ending to the story but all too often...it is!

......然后这些孩子们打开了芝士汉堡，结果哭了起来，因为上面有洋葱；然后他们不吃薯条是因为他们想要苹果！！！我为这位母亲辛勤的劳动感到高兴，我真希望结果不是我说的这样......但真相经常是如此。

Poor poor America...
Kids home alone hungry are waiting for someone to bring anything to eat...
Empty refrigerators (if any) empty kitchen cabinets...
Parents keep hope that Amy will take care of their unsupervised children...
OMG!..

可怜的美国……独自在家的孩子们饿着肚子等待有人给他带点东西吃……空空如也的冰箱（如果有冰箱的话）和橱柜……父母们一直期望艾米会照顾他们丢下不管的孩子……我的天！....

In a world of rancor and discord in a landscape littered with the slander and perfidy of the major media this is so nice to see...

在充满仇恨与不和的世界，在主流媒体的诽谤和出卖随处可见的地方，看到这样的新闻真好……

Kindness should be done for the act not the applause !!!

善举是为了作为而不是掌声！！！

Finally a NICE STORY. Kids do have to eat and some don't get enough...

终于有个好故事了。孩子们必须要吃饭，而有些人还吃不饱......

Mr. Wonderful
That's up to those dead beat parents to ensure their kids eat and if they can't provide that's what foster care is for.

确保孩子们吃上饭应该是那些懒散父母的责任，如果他们无法抚养孩子，看护寄养就该派上用场了。

In the first photo she is carrying two lunch bags from McDonalds which is an approved lunch provider from the Trump administration.

在第一张图片中，她手拿两个麦当劳的午餐袋，那可是特朗普政府认证的午餐供应商。

This reminds me of that old biblical saying and I by no means am religious.
Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Don't teach a man to fish and feed yourself. He's a grown man. And fishing's not that hard.

这让我想起了圣经里的一句话（我一点儿也不信教）。授人以鱼只能让他吃饱一天，不用授人以渔。他已经是个大人了。打鱼又不难。

jerry
nice. my basic question is why aren't the parents of the children responsible for feeding their own kids? by always giving handouts you reinforce their behavior in having their hand out.

很好。我主要的问题在于，为什么这些孩子的家长们没尽到责任让自己的孩子吃饱饭？总是救济别人会让他们更懒惰。

This is the attitude that always has been what made America great! Don't listen to those who try to convince you that our nation hasn't always been the greatest they are simply parroting lies uttered by those whose memories aren't too clear. It's only the last year or so that America's reputation as the world's greatest has fallen to the point that other countries have began to doubt both our collective goodness and our judgement! Just remember that this too shall pass ...

正是这种态度一直让美国变得伟大！不要听信那些试图说服你我们的国家并不总是最伟大的人。他们只是在重复那些记忆不太清晰的人的谎言。只不过是在过去一年左右，美国作为世界上最伟大的国家的声誉就降到了其他国家开始怀疑我们集体的善良和判断力的程度！你只要记住这也是会过去的...

Sorry but why do people have children in 2018 in a first world country + leave children at home and without food?

就问问为什么都2018年了，一个第一世界的国家还有人会让孩子独自在家却不给他留些吃的？

This act was Priceless

这一行为是无价的。

This. 
This is what people should be like. I'll even let it slide that she gave them McDonald's instead of something healthier. Because in this case it was about getting the job done. Back in the day the McDonald's weekly 29 cent hamburger special meant one day a week I got hot food and a little meat for a change.

这才是。这是一个人该有的样子。我甚至都会忽略掉她给他们提供麦当劳午餐，而不是更健康食物的这点。因为在这种情况下重点是把这件事完成。以前麦当劳每周会供应29美分的汉堡包，这意味着一周有一天我能换个口味吃到点热食和些许肉。

What Amy did was nice.
It would be much nicer if she could help those communities to ELIMINATE THE NEED in free lunches.

艾米做的是善事。如果她能帮助这些社区消除免费午餐的需求，那就更好了。
