英国之耻，拥挤的地铁上没人给拄拐老人让座 [英国媒体]

What a disgrace! Elderly man with a walking stick is left to stand on a packed train as not a single commuter offers him a seat

多么羞耻！一个拄拐老人站在拥挤的列车上，因为没有一个乘客给他让座



Fierce debate has been sparked on social media after an elderly man with a walking stick was left standing on a packed tube with no one offering him a seat.

一个拄拐的老人无助的站在拥挤的车厢中，没有一个人给他让座，这在社交媒体上已经引发了激烈的辩论。

The man was on the London Underground Circle Line when fellow standing commuter Piotr Peter Skupny took the picture.

这张照片上的人出现在伦敦地铁环线上，由站着的乘客皮特拍摄。

Mr Skupny travelled for four stops watching the elderly man standing and holding on to both a pole and his walking stick, but no one ever offered him a seat.

皮特先生坐了四站，看着这个老人拿着拐杖倚靠着柱子站立，但是没有一个人给他让座。

He posted the image onto a community Facebook group called S*** London on Wednesday evening, where users can share images or stories showcasing their frustration with the capital.

他周三晚上把图片上传到FACEBOOK一个叫做S***伦敦的社区群里，在那里用户可以分享图片和故事来展示他们对首都的不满。

And it has sparked debate with more than a thousand reactions, and over 300 comments with most people expressing their outrage at the sight, whilst others say they have offered elderly people seats before and they have said no or even been offended by the offer.

它引发了上千条的回复辩论，并有超过300条评论的大部分人表达了他们的愤慨。同时还有一些人说，他们之前已经提供了老年人座位，但是他们说用不着甚至感觉被这个提议冒犯。

Christo Manmohan commented: ‘I feel sick ,poor man ,these people think that one day they will be old and frail but don't think to offer there seat.’

克里斯托弗评论说：“我觉得恶心，可怜的人，这些人觉得某一天他们将变得年老体弱，但是不认为那里应该提供专座。”

Jeashper Bronslon said: ‘Disgraceful, yeah a lot of kids lately haven't been taught proper manners but the older passengers have no excuse.’

Bronslon说：“丢人啊，近来很多小孩没有被教导有正确的礼貌，然而年长的乘客也没有介意。”

Marta G Fernández added: ‘This image is disgusting. I would ask aloud to give up their seat at once. Unbelievable.’

Marta补充道：“这个照片令人作呕，我会大声的质问让他们立即让出座位.难以置信。”

But others believed the man had probably been offered a seat but had said no.

但也有人认为有人给这个人让过座但被拒绝了。

Per Viktor Enstrom added: ‘It's not uncommon at all that old people *doesn't* want seats that are offered, because it's often harder for them to sit/get up than it is to just stand for the journey.

Enstrom补充道：“老人不想接受让座并不少见，因为对于他们来说在旅途中站站坐坐比只是站着更困难。”

Anthony Bennett agreed: ‘Don't forget people that once on the move some elderly can't sit down because they can't get up again!

Bennett同意道：“别忘了，有人说过，一旦上了年纪，一些老年人不能坐下来，因为他们再也站不起来了。”

He is probably one of the last original londoners left. changing people, changing values.

他可能是遗留的最后一个老伦敦人了。改变的人群，改变的价值观。

I always offer my seat to older people. When I was young my parents always told me to stand for adults which is how it should be. I was on a bus full of kids once and ended up standing for a heavily pregnant woman while the ignorant kids just sat there.

我总是把我的座位让给老人。让我年轻的时候我的父母总是告诉我看待事物要站在成人的立场上。我曾在一辆满载小孩的公交车上，一个即将临盆的孕妇站着而无知的小孩们就都坐着。

Just a sign of the times I'm afraid. It really is disgusting to see though.

我恐怕这只是一个时代的标志，尽管看起来真是恶心。

I have found that when I hold doors open for people, it is usually the white ones who say thankyou, the others just sail through as if I was a doorman.

我发现当我为人们把门开开的时候，通常是白人说谢谢，而其他人只是轻快的走过好像我是一个门卫。

that picture sums up new britain...invaded by immigrants and the british left to stand alone...that just there is why we voted brexit...it would have made a great poster

这个照片概括了新大不列颠...被移民们入侵而英国人茕茕孑立形影相吊。这就是为什么我们投票退欧...这将是一个棒极了的海报。

Also interesting that English has become the world langauge but if you wake down any of our high streets, you very rarely hear it being spoken.

同样有趣的是英语已经成为世界语言，但是如果你在我们任意一条大街上醒来，你几乎听不到有人说英语。

London must be the most selfish city in the world it's like dog eat dog especially on the underground. The younger generation are mostly selfish all staring at mobile phones.

伦敦一定是世界上最自私的城市，像狗咬狗一样，特别是在地铁。年轻一代的大部分都是自私的，都盯着手机。

It's creepy on the New York subway; people coming up to you on the trains and start going on abut their lives. I was told not to make eye contact.

纽约地铁令人毛骨悚然，在火车上有人就在你边上开始他们的生活（长安月译注：可能指交配行为），我被告知不要有眼神接触。

I offered an elderly gentleman a seat on a train last week and he kindly declined my offer telling me he was in better shape than I was, it did make me chuckle, I'm 37!

我上周在地铁上曾给一个老绅士让座，他和蔼的拒绝了我并告诉我他比我的状态要更好些，这让我不觉莞尔，我37岁了！

Brexit britain emboldened by Trumps election. Selfishness, hate and disregard for your fellow man are now the new British values...thanks DM.

川普当选鼓励了英国脱欧。现在对你的同伴自私，厌恶和冷漠是新的英国价值观，谢谢你照相者。

On a recent holiday in the UK we travelled by tube quite a lot and people offered me their seats almost every time. I am 75 years old and still fit but really appreciated their gesture of goodwill, something long gone here in Australia.

最近一次在英国的假期中我们乘地铁旅行几乎每次相当多的人把他们的座位让给我，我现在75岁了仍然健康，但真的感激他们善意的姿态，在澳大利亚有些东西一去不复返了。

I was traveling from Kowloon Tong to the China border on the MTR train a couple of years ago, there was a young mother with pushchair and baby, I gave her my seat, when I stood up, one of the locals said to me, "what did you do that for"?? different thinking and cultures I suppose, I was raised in Berkshire and taught by my working class parents that good manners cost nothing, you do not see much "good manners" around Asia, I notice during my travels here.

几年前，我从九龙塘（香港）坐城际铁路旅行去中国边境，有个年轻的母亲带着婴儿和折叠婴儿车，我把我的座给她，当我站起来时，其中一个当地人对我说："你干嘛那么做？”我想这是不同的思维和文化，我在伯克郡长大被我的工人阶层父母教育礼貌无价，我注意到在在我整个亚洲旅行中没有看到太多的“好礼貌”。

If this was in New Zealand (where I live) someone would have said something. I know I would have.

如果这在新西兰（我住的地方）会有人说些什么的，我知道我会的。

During a visit to London last year, I was shocked when a teenager offered me his seat on the Tube. Never thought I would see that in England. Turned out he was Polish.

在去年伦敦的访问中，当一个青少年在地铁上给我让座时我震惊了。我从没想到我会在英格兰看到这个。结果原来他是个波兰人。

total lack of education! I went into the post office last week with my stick. A young woman jumped up out of the only seat, rushed over to the door to open it for me and ushered me into her chair. She was no more than 20. I find n the Continent people are far more concerned about the elderly and ready to assist them at all times. In the UK when I lived there, it was part of my school training to always offer my seat to somebody elderly. What on earth happened to the old country!

完全是缺乏教育！上周我拄着拐杖去邮局，一个年轻的女人从唯一的座位上跳了起来，冲到门口，为我开门，把我带到她的椅子上，她不超过20岁。我发现欧洲大陆的人们更关心老年人，随时准备帮助他们。当我住在英国的时候，总是把自己的座位让给老人是我在学校受到培训的一部分。这个老国家究竟发生了什么！

Al Shami, Khobar, Saudi Arabia（沙特阿拉伯）
DM why did you cover the faces of the ones sitting next to the old man? Let them be known. Shame on them!

拍摄者为什么你把坐在老人附近的人的脸遮住了？让他们出名，他们真可耻！

mr zen, cheshunt england（英国切森特）
During the Battle of Britain, 1940 WW2, the average age of the pilots who fought and died defending london was 20 yrs old, so that an old man with a stick could be ignored in 2016

在1940年二战鹰击不列颠的时候，为保卫伦敦而战死的飞行员平均年龄是20岁，所以这个在2016年拄着拐杖的老人可以被忽略。

Never offer a woman a seat, feminism is too strong, you get the look of death.

从来不给女人让座，女权主义太强大了，你会得到死亡一瞥。

fartin_martin, panjim, India（印度帕纳吉）
Everything is going backwards. We ALMOST had a utopian society or at least on the way to one.People had courtesy, respect,generosity and were friendly to each other.We stopped at red lights and gave way to each other at junctions and received a nod of thanks for our kindness.we even stopped throwing litter in the streets.. All GONE!!

一切都在倒退，我们几乎曾有一个乌托邦社会，至少在去那的路上。人们有礼貌、尊重,慷慨，和睦相处。我们停在路口红灯处,互相让行,得到点头感激我们的好意。我们甚至停止往街上扔垃圾...这些都不见了！！

The old man is travelling for FREE so why not travel when it is not busy, the commuters all PAY. FREE so stand.

老人出行是免费的，所以为什么不在地铁不繁忙的时候出行呢？乘客都付了钱.免费所以站着吧
