My husband，Michael，a bus driver，was passing a deserted¹ bus stop when one of his passengers called out that a woman wanted to get on. He pulled up to the curb² and opened the doors.

我丈夫，麦克是个开大巴士的。一次当他刚要开过一个无人上下车的车站时，一位乘客喊过有位老妇人要上车。麦克把车停靠在马路边，打开了车门。

After a minute，Michael saw an elderly woman with a cane³ crossing the street slowly. He waited patiently as she made her way to the bus and climbed the steps.While she was looking in her purse for her bus pass，he began to close the doors.”Wait a minute!”she snapped."My mother's coming.”

过了足有一分钟，麦克才见到一位老太太拄着拐杖，慢腾腾地过着马路朝车子走来。麦克衬心地等她来到汽车旁上着台阶。趁老太太打开钱包找月票的工夫，麦克欲关门，老妇人阻止道:“别真，我妈妈还在后面呢！”
