The Elderly Man

Sam and Mary were walking back to their apartment after a long day of classes.
珊和瑪麗上完一整天的課之后，正走回她們的公寓。
Usually the park they walked through was quiet, but not today.
她們穿過的公園通常很安靜，但今天不是。
Today they heard someone shouting, which worried them.

The shouting got louder, and they saw an elderly man ahead of them.

He seemed to be shouting at someone near him, but no one was there.
他好像在對身邊的一個人大叫，但是他身邊并沒有人。
"What's going on?" Sam asked.
"發生了什么事？"珊問道。
"I don't know," said Mary.
"我不知道，"瑪麗說，
"Maybe we should get closer."
"或許我們應該靠近點。"
The man was walking very slowly, so it was easy for Sam and Mary to get closer.
那個人走得非常慢，所以珊和瑪麗很容易就走近他。
After following him for a minute, the girls thought he was just wandering around.

He would start and stop for no reason.
他會無緣無故地走走停停，
He walked one way and then the other.

He was wearing some house slippers, not outside shoes.
他穿著室內的拖鞋，而不是外出的鞋子。
Then another man came by.
然后一個男人走過來，
He saw the elderly man and began to talk to him.
他看到那個老人就跟他說話。
Sam and Mary couldn't hear what he was saying.
珊和瑪麗聽不到他說什么。
The young man touched the elderly man's shoulder.

Then the old man began shouting at him very loudly and tried to hit the young man.

The young man stepped back and quickly walked the other way.

"Do you think he's dangerous?" Mary asked.

"What do you think we should do?"
