We all wonder how we would react in an emergency. Would we risk our lives to help someone in danger? 我们都会好奇自己在危机情况下会做何反应。我们会冒着生命危险去帮助身陷险境的人吗？ Laurie Ann Eldridge found out last year. Looking up from her garden one evening at her Cameron, N.Y., home, Ms. Eldridge saw a confused 81-year-old driver stuck at a railroad crossing nearby, oblivious to the train speeding toward her car. 劳丽•埃德里奇(Laurie Ann Eldridge)找到了答案。去年某一天的傍晚，住在纽约州卡梅伦(Cameron)的埃德里奇从自家花园抬头往外看时，发现一名神情茫然的司机困在附近的一个铁路道口上，对朝着她的车子疾驰而来的火车浑然不觉。 Ms. Eldridge raced barefoot to the car, wrestled out the disoriented woman, rolled with her down the railway embankment and covered her with her body, just seconds before the train demolished the automobile. Ms. Eldridge's feet were bloody and riddled with splinters. The elderly woman, Angeline C. Pascucci of Le Roy, N.Y., was unhurt. 埃德里奇光着脚跑向了那辆车，拼命把那位不知所措的老妇人拉出了车子，然后和她一起滚下铁路路基，并且用自己的身体挡住她。就在几秒钟后，疾驰而来的火车碾毁了那辆车子。埃德里奇的脚流着血，扎满了碎片，而那位家住纽约勒罗伊镇(Le Roy)的81岁的老妇人安吉丽娜•C. 帕斯古奇(Angeline C. Pascucci)却安然无恙。 |
