35 A Bus Ride

One day I was on a bus. I found an elderly woman standing in front of me. She
had a big bag in her hand. "It's a virtue for a young person to help the
old,"I said to myself.
When I was standing up to give my seat to the old lady, a young foreigner got
up quickly saying, "Please sit down."The old lady thanked him and sat down.
She looked very happy.
I was a little embarrassed because I was sitting in the middle of the bus.
Suddenly a pregnant woman got onto the bus. I quickly stood up to give up my
seat to her. The foreigner smiled at me. He said that he was an Australian,
and was a student studying Chinese culture in China.

一天，我在一輛公共汽車上。我發(fā)現(xiàn)一位年長的婦人站在我的面前，她手里拿了個大包。“幫助老人是年輕人的美德。”我對自己說。

當(dāng)我正要站起來把自己的座位讓給那位老婦人時，一個年輕的外國人很快站了起來，說：“請這里坐。”老婦人謝謝他，然后坐下，她看上去非常高興。

我有一點尷尬，因為我坐在車廂的中間。突然一個孕婦上了車。我很快地站起來把座位讓給了她。那個外國人笑著看著我，他說他是澳大利亞人，正在中國學(xué)習(xí)中國文化
