第一段续写的思路：我们拦不到车，环境，心理，神态，动作描写第二段续写的思路：拦到车了，去往Harlem送物资给穷人。三、参考作文 We tried stopping vans as they were driving down the street. To our dismay, those drivers just turned a deaf ear to our shouting. "No luck here." My wife slumped her shoulders and murmured with a fierce frown. I patted her gently on the shoulder, and softly said,"honey, keep your fingers crossed for me". After fruitless attempts, we crouched on the ground witnessing the gray cloud enveloping the sky. "please,please" I begged in my heart. Eventually a van drove up and the driver said yes. We jumped at the good news with joy. With his help, we loaded all the food and headed toward Harlem. Ultimately we arrived at the very time the poor were having dinner. What they had was just porridge served in dirty bowls, along with a fortune cookie given by the nearby Chinese restaurant. My heart sank and tears distinctly welled up in my wife's eyes. With butterflies in my stomach, I gave food to a worn-out old lady and she was too astonished to utter a word. "oh, Jesus, thank you, God bless you!" In no time, we were surrounded by the neighbors, and they kept saying "thanks" as if they really got lucky from the fortune cookies. At that time, My wife and I were decorated with the spirit of Thanksgiving. Simultaneously, the butterflies in my stomach found their wings and flew to where my heart belonged.
