Some Important Parts of the Speech:
- I never forget when I brought a man from the street. He was covered with maggots蛆蟲; his face was the only place that was clean. And yet that man, when we brought him to our home for the dying, he said just one sentence: I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, love and care, and he died beautifully. He went home to God, for dead is nothing but going home to God. And he having enjoyed that love, that being wanted, that being loved, that being somebody to somebody at the last moment, brought that joy in his life.

Normally, people would just donate 捐贈things or money. Mother Teresa didn’t mind the poor conditions, and provided many voluntary service to them, she is down to earth. 不擺架子/務實的/「貼地」的

Example: The CEO of my company is very down to earth. He has lunch with us in the canteen every day.
