Train Track And Children

Decision Making/ 做决定

Train Track and Children 火车 轨和 小孩

Introduction/ 介绍

The story given here is quite interesting and really gives us an insight into DECISION MAKING 这个故事 很有 趣， 让我们 对做 决定有更 深刻 的认 识。

Which one will you choose? 你会选 择哪一个？ A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.

有一 群小 朋友在 两条 铁轨附 近玩 耍，一 条铁 轨还在 使用 ，一 条已 经停用 ；只 有一个 小朋 友选择 在停 用的铁 轨上 玩， 其它 的小朋 友全 都在仍 在使 用的铁 轨上 玩 。

Which one will you choose? The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange.It was not possible to stop the train but You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids. 这时 火车来 了， 而你正 站在 铁轨的 切 换器 旁。让 火车 停下来 已经 不可能 了 ，但 你能让 火车 转往停 用的 铁轨， 这 样的 话你就 可以 救了大 多数 的小朋 友 。

Which one will you choose? However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way? Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make................ 但是，那也意味着那个在停用铁轨上玩的孤独的 小朋友将被牺牲掉。你该怎么办？或者就让火车 自己开过去吗？ 让我们停一下，想想我们会做怎样的决定。

Which one will you choose? Analyse the situation…………. 分析一下形势 … Think and reflect……. 仔细想想… Decided your answer !!!! 给出你的答案 !!! Now … go ahead 现在…继续 !!!

Which one will you choose? Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. To save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. ( 据说 ) 大多数 人会 选择改 变火 车轨 道 ，牺牲那 名在 停用铁 轨上玩 的小 孩。无 论从道义 上还 是情感 上讲， 以一 个孩子 的代价来 挽救 大多数 孩子的 生命 会是大 多数人的 理性 决定。

Which one will you choose? But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? 但是， 你是否 想过 ，那名 选择在 停用 铁轨上 玩的 小孩 显然是 做出了 正确 决定 -- 在安全 的地方 玩？

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. 然而他 却不得 不为 那些选 择在危 险的 地方玩 的无 知的 朋友们 而去牺 牲。

Which one will you choose? This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. 这种进 退两难 的局 面每天 都在 我们 的身边 发生 。 在办公 室、团 体里 、政党 里， 尤其 在一个 民主 的社会 ， 少数人 常常为 了多 数人的 利益 而牺 牲自己 ，无 论那些 多 数人是 多么愚 蠢和 无知， 无论 少数 人多么 有远 见卓识 。

Which one will you choose? The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him. 那个 选择 不与其他 在正 在使用的 铁轨 上玩 耍的 小孩被逐 出局 。在这里 ，他 被牺 牲掉 ，没有人 为他 落一滴眼 泪。

Which one will you choose? To make the proper decision is not try to change the course of the train because the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens. 正确 的决 定是 -- 不要试图 让火 车变道 ，因 为在铁 轨上 玩的 孩子们 当然 知道铁 轨正 在使用 ，如 果他 们听 到火 车鸣笛 ，自 然会跑 开的 。

Which one will you choose? If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. 但如果将轨 死，因为他 道上！而且 是因为它也

道切换后， 从来没想过 ，火车轨之 是不安全的

那个乖小孩必 火车还会开到 所以被废弃， 。

定惨 废轨 肯定

Which one will you choose? If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids

如果火车被 置于危险之 的生命来挽 在用整车的

切过去了， 中！在你试 救几个小孩 乘客来挽救

整车的乘客可 着用牺牲一个 的时候，你可 这几个小孩子

能被 小孩 能是 。

Which one will you choose? While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one. "Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.“ 我们 都知 道生活 中充 满着艰 难的 决定需 要我 们去 做，我们 可能 没有意 识到 ，匆忙 做出 的决定 并不 总是正确 的。 “记住 ，正 确的不 总是 大家都 支持 的那一个 …大 家都支 持的 不见得 总是 正确的 。”
