During the winter of 1986 I was working in construction near Oakland,California. It is not unusual for construction workers’hands to become very painful during winter after working with concrete,wet wood,mud,etc. My hands were no exception that year. They were actually cracking(龟裂)open at the joints in the fingers and thumbs. So I was always conplaining about my hurting hands. I often wondered when my cracked hands would not be painful.
Stopping work because of hurting hands is simply not possible in the construction industry. You grit your teeth(咬紧牙关),keep working and finish the job—but do further damage to your hands in the process. The only break occurs on weekends. My co-workers and I used to comfort each other almost every day. The pain is similar to that of“paper cuts”occurring many times an hour.
One morning I left for work at 5:00 a. m. to pour concrete and pulled into a gas station to fuel up. As I got out of my truck,I noticed a newspaper delivery van(有篷货车)and the driver struggling with bales(大捆)of daily newspapers. I took a second look and noticed that the man was born with arms that ended halfway down each forearm. I was amazed to see him doing a job that would otherwise require a very physically gifted person. Still,he was somewhat struggling with the large bales because his arms simply weren’t long enough to carry these bales. Instead he had to“pinch”the bales and lift them with his short and thick arms. Then I found he had difficulty tying his shoes although he had tried many times. I wondered how I could give him some help.
