The Last Ride | 最后的骑行

English Original

A young couple rode a motorcycle through the night. The girl, feeling afraid, repeatedly asked the boy to slow down.

"Slow down a little. I'm scared."

"No, it's so fun," he replied.

"Please... it's so scary."

"Then say that you love me."

"Fine. I love you. Can you slow down now?"

"Give me a big hug."

After she hugged him, she asked again, "Now can you slow down?"

Instead, he said, "Can you take off my helmet and put it on? It's uncomfortable and bothers me while I drive."

The next day, a newspaper reported a fatal motorcycle accident. The brakes had failed, causing the crash into a building. One rider died; the other survived.

The boy had known the brakes were broken. To spare the girl from fear, he kept it secret. In his final moments, he heard her say "I love you," felt her embrace, and ensured her survival by giving her his helmet.

Sometimes, in the midst of ordinary life, love writes a fairy tale.


中文翻译

一对年轻情侣在夜晚骑着摩托车。女孩感到害怕,反复请求男孩减速。

“开慢一点,我害怕。”

“不,这样很有趣,”他回答。

“求你了……太吓人了。”

“那你说你爱我。”

“好吧。我爱你。现在能慢下来了吗?”

“给我一个紧紧的拥抱。”

她拥抱他之后再次问道:“现在能慢下来了吗?”

他却说:“你能摘下我的头盔戴上吗?它戴着不舒服,影响我骑车。”

第二天,报纸报道了一起致命的摩托车事故。刹车失灵导致摩托车撞上了一栋建筑。一名骑手身亡,另一名生还。

男孩早就知道刹车坏了。为了不让女孩害怕,他隐瞒了真相。在生命的最后时刻,他听到了她的“我爱你”,感受到了她的拥抱,并通过将自己的头盔给她而确保了她的生存。

有时,就在平凡的生活中,爱会为我们谱写一个童话。
