20160601:But not murder!并非谋杀!
I was being tested for a driving licence for the third time. I had been asked to drive in
heavy traffic and had done so successfully. After having been instructed to drive out of
town, I began to acquire confidence. Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to
enjoy my test. The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled
and said.'Just one more thing, Mr.Eames. Let us suppose that a child suddenly crosses the
road in front of you. As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet.'I
continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly, Though the sound
could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. I suddenly pressed the brake pedal
and we were both thrown forward. The examiner looked at me sadly. 'Mr.Eames,' he said,
in amournful voice, 'you have just killed that child!'
