My husband,Michael,a bus driver,was passing a deserted bus stop when one of his passengers called out that a woman wanted to get on. He pulled up to the curb and opened the doors.
After a minute,Michael saw an elderly woman with a cane crossing the street slowly.
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。
He waited patiently as she made her way to the bus and climbed the steps.
麦克衬心地等她来到汽车旁上着台阶。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.”
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:“等一会,我妈妈还在后面呢!”
