High-speed trains in China don’t waste time having around in stations, usually just 2 minutes. Great drama, horror and ultimately relief were therefore the result when a baby, quick on its feet, managed to fall between the platform and a train about to depart.
中国的高铁不会在车站浪费时间,通常只需2分钟。因此,当一个婴儿敏捷地从站台和即将出发的火车之间跌落时,戏剧性的场面、恐怖和最终的解脱就出现了。
The alarming incident took place on 2 July in Changzhou of our very own Jiangsu Province. At 19:54, a high-speed train was stopped at the platform of Changzhou Railway Station, when a 1-year old baby suddenly ran towards it.
这起令人震惊的事件于7月2日发生在我们江苏省常州。 19时54分,一列高铁停在常州火车站站台,一名1岁的婴儿突然跑向列车。
Giving chase, its parents failed to catch up. All that could then be heard was the sound of cries from the train track below.
它的父母奋力追赶,但没能追上。只能听到下面铁轨上传来的哭声。
With station staff quickly alerting the driver not to start the train on its way, the immediate danger was over. But as we all know, the space between the platform and the train is very narrow, hardly enough for a fully grown adult to fit between.
车站工作人员迅速提醒司机不要在途中启动火车,眼前的危险已经结束。但众所周知,站台和列车之间的空间非常狭窄,几乎不足以容纳一个成年成年人。
But not all all full-grown adults. That’s where Changzhou station staff, Jiang Lijun, came in. Just happening to be on the platform at the time, Jiang realised that she was “petite”, as the Yangtze Evening News puts it.
但并非所有成年成年人都如此。这时,常州站工作人员姜丽君进来了。当时恰巧在站台上,姜丽君发现自己“娇小”,正如《扬子晚报》所说。
She therefore wasted no time in squeezing into the gap, kneeling down by the track under the train and taking the baby in her arms.
于是,她赶紧挤进缝隙,跪在火车下方的铁轨旁,将孩子抱在怀里。
Speaking after the drama, Jiang said, “I didn’t think so much when I jumped down. At that time, the baby couldn’t stand up and was crying all the time. I just wanted to pull the baby up as soon as possible”.
剧后,蒋说:“跳下来的时候我没想那么多。当时宝宝站不起来,一直哭,我只想尽快把宝宝拉上来”。
When it was all over, Jiang had taken just 35 seconds to get down to the track and then complete her heroic rescue.
当一切结束时,姜只用了35秒就跑到了跑道上,完成了她的英勇营救。
The entire incident, from surveillance camera footage showing the toddler rushing across the platform and falling under the train, to the actual real-time rescue, can be watched via this link.
整个事件,从监控录像显示幼儿冲过站台落入火车底下,到实际救援过程,都可以通过此链接观看。
Relevant personnel at Changzhou Railway Station said that Jiang will be awarded for her rescue. Jiang herself will likely be reminding herself to “stay petite”.
常州火车站相关人员表示,将对蒋救人进行奖励。江本人可能会提醒自己“保持娇小”。
