中文原文

【中文原文】

在交叉路口转弯的时候,我的脚踏车把一位陌生先生的右脚踝压伤了。这位先生一手牵扯着一个刚会走路模样的小男孩,一手牵着一个步履蹒跚的老中风病患者。本来我可以安全避闪。

在我惊魂未定,讷讷不知所措的时候,那位先生已牵着小男孩和老者慢慢离去,我愣愣地目送他们,三个脚步迟缓的背景构成一幅感人的画面。我有搁下车子跟上去帮助那位先生的冲动。可是,我一直没有做;我发觉小孩和老者好像那位先生肩上的两头担子,再艰苦他也不肯放下任何一边的。

【英文译文】

While I had not completely recovered from my fright and was still at a loss what to say or do, the man had already walked slowly away with the old and the young. I blankly watched them disappearing, deeply touched by the scene of the three receding figures. I was so excited that I wanted very much to put aside my bike and go over to help.But I didn't.For I know the little boy and the elderly man are like the two loads of a carrying pole weighing down on the shoulder of that middle-aged gentleman. No matter how heavy the burdens may be, neither of them will be put down.
