Today on my flight to Denver,

A woman in the rear of the plane was afraid of flying

在那里，震感會少一些
She sat in a middle seat across from me.

The strangers on each side of her could have responded to her fears by ignoring them
坐在她兩邊的陌生人本可以對這位女士視而不見，任由她去慌張
or being irritated at the inconvenience of
也可以因為她帶來的不便心生不悅
having a tall lady in a big bulky white coat sit in the empty seat between them.

But, instead,
可是，恰恰相反
they immediately reached out to welcome her

My faith in humanity has been renewed.
我又開始相信人性了!
