oor open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him.

　　几年之后，我听说杰里犯了个在餐饮业不该犯的错误：一天早晨，他没关后门，三个持枪匪徒走进来，拿枪指着他。当他们试图打开保险箱时，他由于紧张，手从保险锁上滑下来。匪徒紧张之下开枪打穿了他的手，接着又有三枚子弹正中他的腹部。

　　Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

　　幸运的是，杰里很快就被人发现了，他们很快将他送到了当地的伤疗中心。经过18小时的手术和几星期的悉心护理，他终于出院了，体内还残留着子弹的碎片。

　　I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.

　　"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.

　　“你难道一点也不怕吗?你失去知觉了吗?”我问。

　　Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, "He's a dead man." "I knew I needed to take action."

　　杰里继续说：“医生们很好，他们不断地告诉我我会好起来的。但他们推我进急救室时，我看到医生和护士脸上的表情，我觉得很害怕。他们脸上写着‘这个人要死了。’我知道我该采取些行动了。”

　　"What did you do?&
