解析：

(1)	指“我”父親嚴(yán)重殘疾，個子很矮。
(2)	他的手放在我的胳膊上以保持平衡。
(3)	因為過路人看著我們，我打心底對這種并不需要的注意感到不舒服。
(4)	他從未表現(xiàn)出他知道這些。
(5)	調(diào)整我們的腳步很困難。
(6)	我們并肩行走時很少說話。
(7)	我父親說：“你設(shè)置步伐，我盡力跟著你。”set the pace固定短語。最后一段有提示。
(8)	這是他上班的方式。
(9)	make it：成功做到。
(10)	他從未缺勤過并且即使他人沒做到他也能成功地到達(dá)辦公室。
(11)	他從沒有羨慕過更多的好運(yùn)和身體的正常。Able在這里與父親自身的disabled相對應(yīng)。
(12)	他所尋找的是在他人“身上”(內(nèi)部)找到“good heart”
(13)	這里指擁有“good heart”的主人。
(14)	standard指評判人的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
(15)	我仍然不知道“good heart”的確切含義。
(16)	但是我知道我的確曾經(jīng)不具備“good heart”。
(17)	我不知道父親是否意識到我們一起走時我的不情愿。
(19)	我為曾與父親當(dāng)眾在一起感到羞愧而感到后悔。
(20)	當(dāng)我出現(xiàn)心理失衡時(指上一段最后提到的情況)我總能想到父親，在這一刻我要把手放在父親胳膊上，重新找回平衡。
