70 Red for danger危险的红色 During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador. 在一次斗牛时，一个醉汉突然溜达到斗牛场中间。人们开始大叫起来，但醉汉却没有意识到危险。那公牛正忙于对付斗牛士，但突然它看见了醉汉，他大声说着粗鲁的话，手里挥动着一顶红帽子。对批评很敏感，公牛完全撇开斗牛士，向醉汉冲。观众突然静了下来。喝醉了，然而，似乎对自己很有信心。当公牛靠近他，他笨拙地让它过去。观众们爆发出一阵欢呼，醉汉鞠了一躬。在这个时候，然而，有三个人进入斗牛场，迅速地把醉汉拉到安全的地方。好像连牛也在为他感到遗憾，因为它一直同情地看着醉汉，才重新将注意力转向斗牛士。
