英语翻译
Mike Hayes proved he was smart in his first year at college.In 2007,while he was a student at the University of Illinois,he came up with an idea to solve his tuition fee(学费)and college costs problem.Hayes thought everyone could afford to give him a penny.
He wrote to Chicago Tribune writer Bob Greene.Hayes wanted each of the newspaper's readers to send him a penny.Greene thought the idea sounded fun and agreed to do it.
“Just one penny,” Hayes said.“A penny doesn’t mean anything to anyone.If everyone who is reading your paper looks around the room right now,there will be a 56 under a seat,or on the corner of the desk,or on the floor.That's all I'm asking.A penny from each of your readers.
In less than a month,the Many Pennies for Mike Fund(基金) had around 2.3 million pennies.Not everyone sent only a penny,many even sent dollars.Money was received from every state in the United States.So,Hayes reached his $28,000 target(目标) and went on to get money for his degree in food science from the University of Illinois.
Perhaps the last word is best left to his father,Bill Hayes:"When Mike first told me about his ideaI just laughed and said that I thought it was foolish—which shows you that he’s smarter than I am.”

Mike Hayes在他进入大学第一年时就证明了他的聪明才智.2007年,当他还是伊利诺斯大学的学生,他突然想到一个可以解决掉他的学费和上学花销的方法.Hayes想,可以让每个人给他一美分;一美分,大家是能承受得起的.
他写给芝加哥论坛报的作者Bob Greene,想要这份报纸的每一个读者都寄给他一美分.Greene则觉得这主意听起来颇有趣,也就同意了.
“只要一美分.”Hayes道,“一美分对任何人来说都算不了什么.让那些读你报纸的人这会儿看一看房间四周,他们就能发现椅子底下、或者桌角、地面上,有块硬币.我要的就只是这个.一美分,你的每一个读者,给我一美分.”
一个月不到,Mike攒钱基金会就收到了大概要23万个硬币.也不是每个人都只给一美分,甚至有的人寄了整一块.美国全国上下各个州都有钱寄过来.Hayes也因而达到了他的两万八的目标,还继续收到了能撑着他念完伊利诺斯大学食品科学专业学士学位的钱.
他父亲Bill Hayes说过的话大概最适合做个结尾:“当Mike头一回跟我讲他这个念头的时候,我只是笑了,还说觉得这主意真蠢——不过现在看来,只能说明他比我聪明许多.”
