参考译文

史密斯夫妇正在轮船甲板上争执不下。如果丈夫不跟她一起上救生艇，史密斯太太拒绝上去。这时，史密斯太太有了主意。她看见史密斯船长拿着麦克风站在附近。她向他走过去并解释说，她在这个世上没有别的亲人，她问，是否可以让她的丈夫和她一起登艇。这位老船长转过身去，对着麦克风大喊：“女人和儿童先上！”

就在这时候，史密斯先生走了过来。他严肃而平静地对妻子说：“你必须现在就上。让妇女和儿童先上的做法只是一种形式。这艘船装备齐全，每个人都会获救的。”史密斯太太问丈夫说的是否完全属实。史密斯先生坚定地回答：“是的。”于是他们吻别，史密斯太太上了救生艇。当救生艇放进水里时，史密斯先生在甲板上高喊：“把手放在口袋里。天太冷了。”
