Don't hesitate.爱,不需要犹豫

1st December 2015  /  life upon life

Sometimes a certain thought at a certain moment can make up for so many regrets. It was a summer day. My mom and I were shopping when we heard a sudden scream. It came from an aged man who had just fallen on the escalator with a little baby in his arms. We rushed to the escalator and tried to help him but the running escalator nearly brought us down. I hurried down to press the emergency button. At the same time, a young man ran to the old man and helped him get up. Then the crowd gathered and all showed their kindness. The old man kept saying thank you when my mom gave back the crying baby to him. It's been years since that day, but I've never forgotten. I'm so glad we helped someone who was in great trouble. It was a very important life lesson to me when I was too young to understand that we shouldn't hesitate when we have to help.

很多时候,一个瞬间的念头可以弥补多少遗憾。记得是一个暑假,我与妈妈在商场购物。突然,传来了一声急促的惊叫。一位年满六旬的老人在电梯上摔倒,险些卷入电梯中。更危急的是,她的手中还抱着一个尚在襁褓中的婴儿。我与妈妈奔到电梯前,我们想把老人拉起,谁知运行中的电梯几乎将我们带倒。我连忙下了电梯,摁下紧急按钮。这时,一个年轻男人冲上了电梯,将老人抱下。群众聚集过来,有人询问情况,有的安抚老人。当妈妈把啼哭的婴儿送到老人手中时,老人的眼中泛起晶莹,不停地道着谢。虽已过了好几个年头,我仍记忆犹新。非常荣幸,当死神降临到老人面前时,我贡献了一份绵薄之力,并且带动了他人,最终挽救了两条生命。在我尚懵懂时,便经历了这样一场真善美的盛宴,从此心中便多了一份良善的选择。爱,是不需犹豫的,只此一步,便可贯穿生命的长河,从此生生不息。
