「完全免費」這幾個字，通常不會跟一個壞掉的鍋爐扯上關係。

That was until a plumber in the British town of Burnley, gained internet stardom after a receipt from one of his jobs went viral.

直到英國班來鎮的一名水電工因為工作收據被瘋傳而成為網紅。

James Anderson, originally from Liverpool, is being lauded for his bill of £0 sent to a 91-year-old woman with leukaemia.

出生於利物浦的詹姆斯．安德森因為對一名91歲又罹患白血病的婦人開出一張0元英鎊的帳單而備受讚譽。

The bill, initially shared on Facebook by the woman’s daughter, Christine Rowlands, was accompanied by the message：’No charge for this lady under any circumstances. We will be available 24 hours to help her and keep her as comfortable as possible.’

這張最初是由婦人的女兒克麗絲汀．羅蘭茲分享於臉書的帳單，還附上這樣一段話：「在任何情況下都不跟這位女士收費。我們24小時待命，以便協助與讓她儘可能過得舒適。」

Anderson insists that she will have "free plumbing for life."

安德森堅持，老婦享有「終身免費的水電服務」。

But this isn’t a first act of kindness for Anderson. Since turning his plumbing business into a community project for vulnerable people, he says he’s helped and assisted thousands of people.

這並非安德森的首次善舉。自從他把他的水電事業轉為服務弱勢者的社區計畫，他說，他已幫忙與協助數千人。

That’s 2,389 people since March 2017 to be precise, he told CNN.

他告訴美國有線電視新聞網，確切來說，自2017年3月起的人數是2389人。
