我从乡下跑到京城六年,有一件小事使我不能忘记。
Six years in the capital and one small incident stays with me.
冬天早上,车夫拉着我赶路,一个老女人突然横过来倒在车前。
A cold winter morning — my rickshaw puller hurrying, an old woman stumbled under the shafts.
车夫放下车跑过去扶她,问她怎么摔的。老女人说是车夫撞的。我说:走你的吧,没有人看见,也没有人受伤。
He set down the shafts and helped her up; I said: go on, no one saw, no one's hurt.
车夫还是扶着老女人去了巡警分驻所。车夫的背影越走越大,把我小我压得看不见了。
He walked her to the police post — his back grew larger as it went, dwarfing me.
