公交车上

　　There were many people in the bus and no vacant seats. When a woman entered, an old man near the door attempted to rise, but she forced him back into his seat. "Thank you," she said, "but please don't do that. I am perfectly able to stand."

　　公交车上很拥挤，没有空位。这时，一个女人上了车，靠近车门的一位老人想站起来，可是女人却把他按回到座位上，说道：“谢谢，不用了，我站着没事。”

　　"But, madam, let me..." began the man.

　　“可是，女士，请让我……”老人说。

　　"I ask you to keep your seat," interrupted the woman with her hands on his shoulders.

　　“我让你坐着就是。”女人把手放在他的肩膀上，没等他把话说完。

　　But the man tried to rise, saying, "Madam, will you kindly permit me to..."

　　可是老人还是想站起来，说道：“女士，你能不能让我……？”

　　"No, no," said the woman and again forced him back.

　　“不，不。”女人说，又阻止了他，让他坐回去。

　　At last the man managed to get up, saying, "Madam, you carried me three blocks beyond my house. I want to get off."

　　最后，老人终于站了起来，说道：“女士，都怪你，我家过了三个街区了，我刚才就想下车。”
