food bank/ 食物银行/ (shíwù yínhánɡ)

A: When ever I walk down the street and see a homeless person, I always wonder what I can do for them, but I don't know what I can do. 

每当我走在路上,看见有流浪汉,我总想为他们做点什么,但不知道该做什么。

B: I thought like this too. Sometimes, if I have some change or food, I will ask them if they need it.  

我也这么想过,有些时候如果我有零钱或者食物,我会问问他们是否需要。

(wǒ yě zhème xiǎnɡɡuò, yǒuxiē shíhòu rúɡuǒ wǒyǒu línɡqián huòzhě shíwù, wǒhuì wènwèn tāmén shìfǒu xūyào.)

A: Even though there are fewer and fewer homeless people, I still feel that they need society to pay them enough attention.  

虽然现在流浪汉越来越少,但我觉得他们仍需要社会足够的关注。

B: Did you know that someone has established a charity food bank in Shanghai?

你知道最近在上海有人做慈善的食物银行吗？

(nǐ zhīdào zuìjìn zài shànɡhǎi yǒu rén zuò císhàn de shíwù yínhánɡ ma?)

A: Food banks are stocked with food that the kind public and supermarkets have donated to give to people who suffer hunger and unemployed.

食物银行里有善良的民众捐助的不同食品和超市捐助的食品,提供给那些忍受饥饿或没有工作的人。
