18
143880
7260
你知道,当我还是个孩子的时候,我的父母也离婚了,但我没有那样做,
02:31
I suppose children can handle it differently  
19
151140
3480
我想孩子们可以用不同的方式处理这件事,
02:35
Jimmy was so aggressive I don't even  remember how we could be friends back then
20
155340
6120
吉米是如此我什至不记得那时我们是如何成为朋友的,
02:44
well one day we were sitting on the sidewalk in a  street not very far from my home we were talking  
21
164400
8580
有一天我们坐在离我家不远的一条街道的人行道上,我们谈论
02:52
about different things such as Sports School  some girls our lives and many other things

172980
8880
不同的事情,比如体育学校、一些女孩、我们的生活以及许多其他事情

23
184860
8940
他告诉我,他的父母那天想到了,他很生气,因为他想做点什么,
03:13
something but he didn't know what exactly I told  him to go to the arcade maybe he could feel better
24
193800
8160
但他不知道我到底告诉他什么去游乐场,也许他会感觉好一点,
03:25
but he didn't like the idea he  said he was tired of going to the  
25
205980
5100
但他不喜欢他说他厌倦了去游乐场
03:31
arcade and he wanted to do something  different something more dangerous  
26
211080
6300
,他想做一些不同的事情,一些更危险的事情,
03:38
well we didn't know what to do  so we started walking around
27
218220
4800
我们不知道该怎么做,所以我们开始四处走走,
03:46
we were walking around the  street near my elementary school  
28
226380
4200
我们在我小学附近的街道上走,
03:51
there weren't many cars passing by  because that street was almost new  
29
231180
5640
那里没有多少人汽车经过,因为那条街道几乎是新的,
03:57
only people used to walk over there to go to  their jobs or children going to the school
30
237480
7320
只有人们过去常常步行去那里上班,或者孩子们去上学,
04:06
it was Sunday so that street was empty I  saw a child in the distance he was riding  
31
246900
7920
那是周日,所以那条街道是空的,我看到远处有一个孩子正在骑
04:14
his bike and I told Jimmy that I  always wanted to have a bicycle  
32
254820
4380
自行车,我告诉吉米说,我一直想拥有一辆自行车
04:19
but sadly my family didn't have enough  money to buy something like that
33
259800
5520
,但遗憾的是我的家人没有足够的钱买这样的东西,
04:27
he heard that and told me if you want the bike  when we get that one of course I just laughed I  
34
267420
9660
他听到后告诉我,当我们得到那辆自行车时,你是否想要自行车,当然,我只是笑了,我以为
04:37
thought he was joking we were not going to steal  that bike I have never done something like that
35
277080
7920
他在开玩笑我们不会偷那辆自行车,我从来没有做过这样的事情,
04:48
he said that he had done that many times but with  different products he told me that when he went  
36
288180
7620
他说他已经做过很多次了,但是对于不同的产品,他告诉我,当他去
04:55
to the market he used to steal some candy  from a woman who sold those kind of things  
37
295800
6480
市场时,他常常从一个卖这些糖果的女人那里偷一些糖果。 我 一直
05:03
I kept thinking he was joking
38
303300
3240
以为他是在开玩笑,
05:09
but no he wasn't joking he really  wanted to steal that kid's bike  
39
309060
5580
但不,他不是在开玩笑,他真的想偷那个孩子的自行车,
05:15
I still remember his words I'm going to  push the boy so that he falls off the  
40
315360
6780
我仍然记得他的话,我要推那个男孩,让他从自行车上摔下来
05:22
bike and you are going to take  the bike with you and run okay
41
322140
4500
,你要带走和你一起骑自行车,跑吧,好吧
05:29
I didn't know what to say I couldn't believe he  was saying that to me so I repeated to myself that  
42
329760
7200
,我不知道该说什么,我简直不敢相信他对我这么说,所以我对自己重复说他还在
05:36
he was still joking then he walked over to the  boy and pushed him just as he had said he would
43
336960
10680
开玩笑,然后他走到男孩身边,像他那样推了他。说他会的,
05:50
the boy started crying so hard and he yelled dad  help we saw a man running to us we hadn't realized  
44
350280
10140
那个男孩开始哭得很厉害,他大喊爸爸救命,我们看到一个男人向我们跑来,我们没有意识到
06:00
that that child was playing with his father on  that street so he rushed to help his son obviously
45
360420
7980
那个孩子正在那条街上和他的父亲玩耍,所以他冲过去帮助他的儿子,显然
06:10
we started running away so fast  that we got my home in just seconds  
46
370980
6000
我们开始逃跑,所以很快我们就到家了,
06:17
I was quiet I didn't say anything  then he told me he had to go to his  
47
377640
5460
我很安静,我什么也没说,然后他告诉我他必须回家,
06:23
home because his mother was about  to arrive and she could get angry
48
383100
5100
因为他妈妈就要到了,她可能会生气,
06:31
we didn't even talked about  what had happened that afternoon  
49
391500
4080
我们甚至没有谈论发生了什么那天下午发生的事情,
06:36
that night I couldn't sleep well I  was thinking of all those things I  
50
396360
6840
那天晚上我睡不好,我在想所有这些事情,我
06:43
felt terrible for the kid with his Spike I  didn't know what to do I was very thoughtful
51
403200
7020
为那个带着钉子的孩子感到难过,我不知道该怎么办,我想得很周到,
06:52
the next day I woke up and had breakfast  with my brothers and sister after that I  
52
412560
7140
第二天我醒来,和我的孩子一起吃早餐。兄弟姐妹之后我
06:59
just watched TV we could do that because we had  finished school I was about to be 16 years old
53
419700
9540
只是看了电视我们可以这样做,因为我们完成了学业我快要16岁了
07:13
I still didn't know what to do  with my life I mean I graduated  
54
433500
4740
我仍然不知道我的生活该怎么办我的意思是我毕业了
07:18
from high school and we didn't have  enough money to pay for the college  
55
438240
4380
从高中开始,我们没有足够的钱来支付大学费用
07:23
so the only possible thing to do was to  get a job to save some money to study later
56
443460
6960
,所以唯一可能做的就是找一份工作,攒点钱供以后学习,
07:34
so my siblings and I used to  spend the day watching TV together  
57
454200
4680
所以我和我的兄弟姐妹常常一起看电视,时间
07:39
at about four in the afternoon  Jimmy knocked on my door  
58
459720
4560
大约是下午四点,吉米敲了我的门,
07:44
he told me he wanted to go to the arcade he was  bored and also really angry at the same time
59
464940
7140
他告诉我他想去游乐场,他很无聊,同时也很生气,
07:54
I could only think about what  had happened the day before  
60
474960
3840
我只能想起前一天发生的事情,
07:59
I didn't want to go because I no longer  felt comfortable with him so I told him  
61
479700
7200
我不想去,因为我和他在一起不再感觉舒服,所以我告诉他
08:06
I had some things to do and that  I couldn't go with him this time
62
486900
5340
我有一些事情要做,这次我不能和他一起去,
08:15
he insisted of course he showed me some  money he had like ten dollars and was  
63
495360
8580
他坚持当然,他给我看了一些他有的钱,比如十美元,这
08:23
a lot of money for us back then he said he  would invite me to eat something delicious
64
503940
8640
对我们来说是很多钱回来然后他说他会邀请我吃一些美味的东西
08:36
so I agreed maybe it was all a mistake and he  did that because he was angry or very stressed  
65
516060
9180
,所以我同意也许这都是一个错误,他这样做是因为他很生气或压力很大,
08:45
of course that could not happen again so I  went to the arcade with him and we had fun
66
525240
7200
当然这种情况不会再发生了,所以我和他一起去了游乐场,我们玩得很开心
08:56
when we left the arcade we went to the same street  we had gone the day before that terrible incident  
67
536460
8880
当我们离开拱廊时,我们去了那场可怕事件发生前一天我们去过的同一条街,
09:05
had happened I felt much better because he was  quiet he didn't say a word he was thinking a lot
68
545340
8820
我感觉好多了,因为他很安静,他没有说一句话,他想了很多,
09:17
then another boy approached us Jimmy greeted  him and introduced him to me he was one of  
69
557400
8220
然后另一个男孩向我们走来,吉米向他打招呼并向我介绍了他,他是他的朋友之一,
09:25
his friends he told me he sat down and they were  quiet I only asked are we waiting for anybody here
70
565620
9540
他告诉我他坐下来,他们很安静,我只问我们是否在这里等人,
09:38
he didn't say anything I was worried I didn't  know what was happening I felt confused  
71
578220
7920
他没有说什么,我很担心,我不知道发生了什么,我感到困惑
09:46
then Jimmy's friend stood up and stopped a taxi I  didn't know we were going to another place I said
72
586800
9600
然后吉米的朋友站起来拦了一辆出租车我不知道我们要去另一个地方我说然后
09:58
and then he told me he's going to stop that car  I'm going to hit the driver and get him off his  
73
598800
7440
他告诉我他要拦那辆车我要打司机并让他下车
10:06
car so you can get in the car to drive it then  we leave I was shocked I didn't know what to say
74
606240
9600
这样你就可以了上车开车然后我们离开我很震惊我不知道该说什么
10:19
it was not a joke they were doing it right in  front of my eyes froze I couldn't do anything  
75
619200
9720
这不是玩笑他们就在我眼前做这件事我愣住了我什么也做不了
10:28
it all happened in just seconds that boy stopped  the taxi Jimmy want to hit the driver and now I  
76
628920
9900
这一切都发生在短短几秒钟内男孩拦住了出租车,吉米想打司机,现在我
10:39
I only was there standing looking at them  doing nothing so we never stole that car  
77
639960
8280
只是站在那里看着他们什么也不做,所以我们从来没有偷那辆车,
10:48
the taxi left and Jimmy was really angry he  told me I was a chicken and many other things  
78
648240
7200
出租车离开了,吉米真的很生气,他告诉我我是一只鸡,还有很多其他
10:56
I didn't answer I just kept quiet I arrived home  and went to my bedroom I didn't say any word I had  
79
656160
12720
我没有做的 事情 我没有回答,我只是保持安静,我回到家,走进我的卧室,我没有说任何一句话,我从小就开始
11:08
started working since I was a child and I had some  money saved I had like 50 dollars so the next day

11:21
I took that money and went to  the nearest English Institute  
81

4560
拿走了这笔钱去了最近的英语学院,
11:26
I paid fifty dollars to start studying  the basic level and well here I am now  
82
686880
7320
我付了五十美元开始学习基础水平,现在我在这里,我
11:34
I am an English teacher I love my job  and I'm happy I took that decision
83
694200
5760

11:42

11:51
no that really happened sometimes we  take decisions that can change our lives  
85
711900
6780
不,确实发生过,有时我们会做出可以改变我们生活的决定,
11:59
