57、伸出援助之手互相温暖、祝福的心愿。36homeless此处修饰gentleman，应用形容词；而且下文提到为那个人和宠物狗买食物和水，可知他是无家可归的，所以应用homeless。37enteringupon为介词，其后应接动名词。38had given句意：当我结账时，我注意到那个人正在努力地计算能用他的零钱买些什么，那些零钱是当我在杂货店里面时有人给他的。“给零钱”的动作发生在“注意到”之前，所以应用过去完成时态。39thought句意：我的第一个想法是我知道谁正在照看他的狗。此处需要名词作主语。40an keep an eye on为固定短语，意为“照看；留意；密切注视”。41surpr
