What a shame! This sick, old man must have suffered from the coldness for the whole day while sitting on the hard, uncomfortable ground. He probably reached out to passersby for help. But no one stopped; no one cared.
真是羞愧难当!这位生病的老人一定整日都坐在这坚硬、冰冷的地上,在严寒中忍受着煎熬。他可能向路人求助。但是没有人停下来;没有人关心。
In a different season, I again came across an old man half lying on the footpath, not far from where the Winter Man had been. The morning heat was unbearable. Caught up in the familiar flow of people, I barely glanced at him. However, the memory of the old Winter Man came back to me vividly. I walked back to the man on the ground. I knelt down to ask if he was OK and his kind eyes looked at me.
在另一个季节里,我又遇到一个老人,他半躺在人行道上,离冬天的那个人躺过的地方不远。早晨的热令人无法忍受。人群像往常一样川流不息,我几乎看不到他。然而,那个冬天老人的记忆又清晰地浮现在我的脑海里。我走回地上的那个人身边。我跪下来问他是否还好,他慈祥的眼睛看着我。
