English Original
My friend's cruise ship docked at a Mexican port during an exceptionally high tide. Everyone had to use the ship's narrow gangplank to reach the dock far below.
When a passenger in her 70s appeared at the top of the plank, the staff stood motionless. There was no room for anyone to assist her. She edged along slowly and finally reached the dock safely, to everyone's relief. As she stepped down, she turned, looked back at the top of the plank, and shouted, "It's okay, Mother, you can come down now."

我朋友工作的邮轮在异常高涨的潮水中停靠在一个墨西哥港口。所有人都不得不使用船上狭窄的跳板,才能到达下方远处的码头。
当一位七十多岁的乘客出现在跳板顶端时,工作人员都一动不动地站着。没有空间让任何人去帮助她。她缓慢地侧身挪动,最终安全抵达码头,让所有人都松了一口气。当她走下跳板时,她转过身,望向跳板顶端,喊道:“没事了,妈妈,您可以下来了。”
