Better Safe Than Sorry!小心駛得萬年船!

【摘要2020.4.5.蘋果】
Andre and his family went to the mall to do some shopping. The mall was packed because it was a weekend. When he entered, Andre saw two children playing and chasing each other, and one had an ice cream in his hand. A thought came into Andre’s mind that something would happen to him.
As Andre expected, just a few minutes later, something did occur. The kid with the ice cream fell down and the ice cream happened to end up on Andre’s pants. Andre scolded the boys and told them to stop running in the mall. However, they didn’t listen and didn’t seem to care. They obviously had not learned their lesson and kept playing around in the shopping center. Andre continued to watch as one of the kids slipped, bumped into a pile of cans, and got hurt.
安德烈與家人到購物中心去採購些東西。因為是週末,所以購物中心擠滿了人。安德烈一進門時,看到兩個小朋友正在嬉戲追逐,其中一個手上還拿著冰淇淋。安德烈心裡就覺得某些事情會發生在他身上。
正如安德烈所預料,幾分鐘後事情確實發生了。手裡拿著冰淇淋的那個孩子跌倒了,而冰淇淋恰好沾在安德烈的褲子上。安德烈責罵了這兩個小男孩,並告訴他們不要在購物中心裡到處跑。但是他們並沒有聽進去,而且看來不以為意。他們顯然沒有記取教訓,繼續在購物中心裡玩耍。安德烈持續注意時,其中一個小朋友滑倒、撞上了罐頭堆而受傷。
