M3U1 Fog

Warning

When Polly left home that morning, the city was already covered in a grey mist. At lunch, the radio forecast that the mist would become a thick fog in the afternoon. At four o’clock, Polly left work and stepped out into the fog. She wondered if the buses would still be running. No buses to King Street

Once out in the street, she walked quickly towards her usual bus stop. ‘How far are you going?’ the bus conductor asked her before he took her fare.‘King Street,’ said Polly. ‘Sorry, Miss,’ replied the man, ‘the truth is that it is too foggy for the bus to run that far. Take the Underground to Green Park. The weather might be better there and you might be able to get a taxi.’

A tall man

As Polly observed the passengers on the train, she had a feeling that she was being watched by a tall man in a dark overcoat. At last the train arrived at Green Park station. While the rest of the passengers were getting out, she glanced at the faces around her. The tall man was nowhere to be seen.

Footsteps

When Polly got to the station entrance, it was empty. Outside, wherever she looked the fog lay like a thick, grey cloud. There was no one in sight. Polly set off towards Park Street. As she walked along the narrow street, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching, but by the time she reached the corner of the street, the footsteps were gone. Suddenly Polly felt a rough hand brush her cheek, and she heard a man’s voice in her ear saying ‘Sorry.’ The man moved away. She could feel her heart beating with fear.

The helpful stranger

Then she heard the sound again—soft footsteps behind her. A minute before, she had wished for someone to come along. Now she wanted to run, but fear held her still. The footsteps seemed close now. Then a man’s voice came out of the darkness. ‘I s anybody there?’

Polly hesitated. At last she answered, ‘Hello, I think I’m lost.’

A few seconds later, a hand reached out and grasped her arm. Polly found herself staring up at the face of an old man with a beard. ‘Maybe I can help you. Which road do you want?’ he asked.

‘I live at 86 King Street,’ Polly replied.

‘Just take my hand,’ said the man. ‘Come with me. You’ll be all right.’ He took Polly’s hand. ‘Watch out for the step here.’

In his other hand the man carried a stick. Polly heard it hit the step. ‘I can remember some terrible fogs, but maybe that was before your time. I can’t see your face, but you sound young. How old are you?’

‘Just twenty,’ answered Polly.‘Ah, twenty! A nice age to be. I was young once. Now we’re at the crossroads. Turn left here.’

‘I’m quite lost now. Are you sure you know the way?’ Polly was beginning to feel frightened again. ‘Of course. You really shouldn’t feel anxious.’ He held her hand more firmly.

The grateful helper

‘Here we are. King Street.’ He stopped.

‘Thank you so much for coming to my aid,’ said Polly in relief. ‘Would you like to come in and rest for a while?’‘It’s very nice of you,’ said the man, ‘but I’ll be off. There may be more people lost today, and I’d like to help them. You see, a fog this bad is rare. It gives me the chance to pay back the help that people give me when it’s sunny. A blind person like me can’t get across the road without help, except in a fog like this.’

雾

雾警报

那天早上当波莉离开家，城市已经被一层灰色的薄雾覆盖。在午餐时间，收音机天气预报员报道薄雾在下午会变成浓雾。四点钟，波莉离开工作，踏入雾中。她怀疑巴士是否仍然在运行。

没有去国王街的巴士

她一出来在大街上，就快速走向她以往的停车站。

“你要去的地方有多远？”巴士售票员问她。

“国王街。”波莉回答。

“对不起，小姐。”男人回答，“事实上，雾太浓了以至于巴士不能行驶那么远。坐地铁列车去绿色花园，那里的天气也许会好一点，而且你也许可以在哪儿拦到一辆出租车。”

一个高大的男人

当波莉观察地铁上的乘客时，她注意到她被一个穿着黑色外套的高大男人盯着。最后，列车到达了绿色花园车站。当其他的乘客下车，她扫视了周围人的脸，四处都找不到那个高大男人。

脚步声

波莉到了车站出口，那里空无一人。外面的雾像一朵厚厚的灰云。在势力范围内一个人都没有。波莉朝着公园街出发。当她沿着街走时，她听到了脚步声，但是等到她到达街道拐角处，脚步声不见了。突然，波莉感到一只粗糙的手轻拂过她的脸，她听到一个男人的声音在她耳边说：“对不起。”男人离开了。她能感觉到心脏带着恐惧的跳动声。

乐于助人的陌生人

然后她再次听到了这个声音——在她后面轻轻的脚步声。一分钟前，她希望有个人和她一起走。现在她想要跑，但是恐惧使她一动不动。现在脚步声似乎靠近了。然后一个男人的声音从黑暗中传来：“有人在那里吗？”

波莉顿了顿，最后她说：“你好，我想我迷路了。”

几分钟后，一只手伸了出来而且碰到了她的手臂。波莉发现她自己抬头凝视着一个手停留在她的手臂上站立着的男人。她看到的是一张老人的脸。

“也许我能帮助你，你要去哪里？”他问。

“我住在国王街86号。”波莉回答。

“只管抓住我的手。”男人说，“跟着我走。你会没事的。”他抓住波莉的手：“留意这里的台阶。”

在他的另外一只手上男人拿着一根拐杖。波莉听到拐杖敲击着台阶。“我还记得一些可怕的雾天，但是也许那是在你出生之前。我看不见你的脸，但是你的声音听起来很年 …… 此处隐藏：4563字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
