质疑
Questioning
Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.

After that I could never pass a dead man without stopping to gaze on his face, stripped by death of that earthly patina which masks the living soul. And I would ask, who were you? Where was your home? Who is mourning for you now?

我看到一个男人对他的女朋友很粗暴。她在请求人们的帮助,但没有人愿意。当他抓住她时,我试图把他们分开,但他转向我。我打了他一拳,把他打倒在地。这不是丑闻;我只是在做任何人都应该做的事。
