“You can use me as a last resort(选择),and if nobody else

volunteers,then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I

put out a request for volunteers for my kids’ lacrosse(长曲棍球)club.

“你可以把我当成最后一个选用的人，如果其他人都不自告奋勇的话，我就当志愿者。”这是我发出为我的孩子长曲棍球俱乐部当志愿者之后来自一位母亲的真实的答复。

I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule,or

social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown may

just need a little I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I

mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk

about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t At this point

the unwilling parent speaks up,“,I’ll do it.”

我认为她可能是有些劳神的工作安排，或是主动上前帮助一项未知的体育项目所带来的社交焦虑。她只是需要一点点的劝说而已。因此我又试了一次去拨动她的心弦。我提到了一位有四个孩子单亲妈妈操办这个节目。我还谈到一位爸爸，执教了一个球队，可是自己孩子不是该球队的成员等等。听到这些话的时候，这位开始有点不愿意的母亲开口大声说“好了，行，我来当志愿者。”

I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing

volunteer responsibilities among unwilling parent organizes the

meal schedule,sends out emails,and collects money for end-of-season

ere along the way,the same parent ends up becoming an

invaluable member of the team.

我打心里感到安慰是因为我知道许多人分担志愿者的责任背后有一股真正的力量。 这位不情愿的母亲制定用餐时刻表、发电邮、筹钱购买赛季结束时的礼物。一路走来，最终她变成了我们队伍中一位颇有价值的成员。

The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are

relieved to be off the hook for another g out sliced oranges

to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a

goal.

教练能够专心教孩子，其他父母也因摆脱麻烦无需烦恼下一个赛季而感到欣慰。给顽强拼搏的孩子递上切好的橙子和看到自家孩子进

球得分是一样的令人兴奋。

Still,most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season

comes to a relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why

the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the

community(社区)as you freely give your time,money,skills,or services

provides a real eering just feels so good.

当然，到了赛季快要结束的时候，志愿者中的大多数人还是感到宽慰。这种宽慰伴随着深层理解这个问题——为什么同样的人不断的回来之后做更多的事情：因为当你自由地把自己的时间、金钱、技能、服务投入到小区中收获一种真正的快乐。做志愿者活动就是感觉快乐。

In that sense,I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act

than I’d freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process,and

I get some reward too,does it really matter where my motivation lies?

从这个意义上讲，我很确信做志愿者活动更多的是一种自私的行为，当然我不可以自由的去承认。然而，其他人在这个过程中受益，我也从中活动回报，那么我的动机是什么又有何妨？
