高中英語作文：你會幫助跌倒老人嗎

　　It seems like a silly question, anyone in sane would give a hand to the elderly who fell. But in China, this question is becoming tricky. Many news report that there are some old people not just fell, they do it on purpose.

　　Usually, they walk on a crowdy street, and pretend to faint or just lay down on the ground, intend to accuse the one who comes to help as a perpetrator and blackmail him/her for the treatment fee.

　　Many people have fell for that and had to pay as there is no witness to prove their innocence. As for these negative news, people is afraid to help those old people in need, that makes some of them who are in real trouble could not get help in time. I once asked one of my friends: “Why the old people turn bad? If you see one in the street, would you help?”

　　He said: “It is not the old people turn bad, it is the bad people turn old. I will video him/her to make a statement first, then decide if I would help.”

　　這似乎是個愚蠢的問題,任何清醒的人遇到跌倒的老人都會伸出援助之手。但在中國，這個問題變得棘手。很多新聞報道說有些老人不只是跌倒而已，他們是故意這么做的。通常他們會走到人潮涌動的街頭，假裝暈倒或者是直接躺在地上，想要指控那些來幫助他的人為肇事者，敲詐他們要治療費。很多人都上當了，由于沒有目擊者證明他們的清白，他們被迫支付了費用。正因為這些負面新聞，人們害怕去幫助那些需要幫助的老人，也因此造成了那些真正有困難的'老人沒有得到及時的幫助。我曾經問我一個朋友：“為什么現在的老人變壞了？如果你在街上看到這樣的老人你會幫助嗎？”他說：“不是老人變壞了，是壞人變老了。我會先錄像讓他做一個聲明，再決定是否幫助他。”
