话说火车站

A railway station is perhaps the most crowded place in the world.It always leaves me such an impression.People, from almost all parts of the world, rush in and out of railway stations every day. They are completely strangers.They seldom look into each other's eyes,let alone speaking to each other.But ,perhaps, some day if something unusual happens,things will be different.Two strangers might not only get to know each other,but also become life-long friends.So,in some story-teller's eyes a railway station is usually the place where stories may happen.

A man intended to travel by train to Manchester.Before setting out,he looked up the times of the trains,and discovered that there was an eight o'clock train.

As he was walking to the station,he noticed one of his night watchmen.Knowing that the man had worked for the railway previously,the man asked him whether the eight o'clock was the faster train.

The watchman shook his head solemnly."Usually,the eight o'clock is very good," he said."But last night as I was sitting here,I had a terrible dream.In my dream,I saw a wrecked train.I knew it was tonight's eight o'clock train.There had been a dreadful accident and every one in the train had been killed.Don't go on that train tonight."

The man,who was superstitious,decided to wait for the next train and he reached Manchester.There ,to his horror,he learned that the night watchman had been right.The eight o'clock train had had an accident and all the passengers had been killed.

火车站或许是世界上最拥挤的地方了。它总是给我这样的印象。几乎是来自世界各地的人们每天匆匆涌进火车站又匆匆涌出去。他们完全是陌生人。他们的眼睛几乎没有对视，更不要说很对方讲话。但是，或许有一天，如果某些特别的事发生，事情就变得不同了。两个陌生人可能不仅认识对方，还成为终生的朋友。所以，在一些讲故事的人严重，火车站通常是有故事的地方。
