     A walking stick lying beside him, an old man is lying on the ground, with a great many passersby unwilling to help him. Some people are thinking, "Will he accuse me of being the perpetrator?" while others are thinking, "If I help him up, I will suffer because of it."
     In the past, people tended to give a helping hand to people in need. With the rapid development of the economy and society public morality has declined to an extent. More and more people are becoming indifferent or scared to help people in trouble. Some people are afraid of doing good, worried that their good intentions may be seen as having bad ulterior motives. They worry that helping others may cause them serious consequences. And, of course, there are always some people who will pretend to be injured in order to con you out of money. However, this should not stop us from being good Samaritans. We would become a poor society if we neglected to help others in their hour of need.
     To sum up, we should be ready to help others even though sometimes it might cause us problems. When it comes to strangers, we should still offer what we can though we should be aware of being taken advantage of.

     一位老人躺在地上，他的拐杖倒在旁边。很多路人都在围观，但都不愿意帮忙。有些人在想："会不会诬陷我是肇事者？"而其他人在想："扶了要遭殃！"
     过去，人们往往会帮助需要帮助的人。随着经济和社会的迅速发展，公共道德存在着一定程度的滑坡。越来越多的人变得冷漠，或者害怕帮助有困难的人。有些人害怕做好事，担心好心好意会被人当做居心不良，担心帮助他人可能会给自己带来严重的后果。当然，总会有人装作受伤来骗钱，但这不应阻止我们助人为乐。如果我们不去帮助需要帮助的人，我们的社会将变得非常可怜。
     总之，我们应该乐于助人，即使这样做有时可能会给我们带来麻烦。在遇到陌生人时，虽然我们应该谨防被人利用，但我们仍要尽己所能助人为乐。
