軌道救子 本能令母親變身超級英雄

A mother is an extraordinary thing. Take the woman whose toddler was caught on CCTV at Goodge Street Tube station being sucked onto the live tracks by a freak gust of out a moment’s hesitation, she flings herself off the platform and hoiks the buggy to safety — just seconds before the arrival of an oncoming train.
母親的力量是不可思議的。正如古奇街地鐵站閉路電視拍到的那一幕：當呀呀學步的孩子被一陣反常的風捲入地鐵軌道下面時，他的母親一刻也沒有猶豫，縱身跳下站臺把兒童車舉到了安全地帶——而這一切就發生在列車進站的前幾秒鐘。

Both the men involved — her companion, the clown who failed to apply the buggy’s brake in the first place, and a fellow passenger so lost in the music blaring from his headphones that he seemed oblivious to the entire drama — were as much use as a pair of chocolate teapots.
事發當時現場的兩個男人都如同擺設一樣毫無作爲：一位是這位母親的同伴，沒能在第一時間拉下兒童車的剎車；另一位乘客戴着耳機沉醉在音樂中，對整件事絲毫沒有注意。

It’s a remarkable example of motherly instinct — that strange and indefinable sixth sense that kicks in when you have a child. A connection like no other. An invisible thread; light as gossamer yet as strong as steel.
這是母親本能的最好例子。當一個女人做了母親，她會有一種奇特而難以言狀的第六感，她和孩子間會有一種微妙的聯繫，像一條看不見的線，輕如蛛絲卻強韌如鐵。

And, as this woman’s actions show, it can make you invincible.
而且，就像這個女人的行動表現出的，它可以讓你無所不能。

Watch the video closely, and it seems almost spooky. She comes out of nowhere, like something out of a sci-fi comic, moving at ten times the speed of everyone else around her.
慢放錄像，這一切發生得如此讓人不可思議。不知道她從哪裏竄出來，就像從科幻劇裏出現的人物，行動起來的速度是她周圍人的十倍。

Propelled by pure instinct, she has no thought for her own safety — just to save her baby, no matter what the cost.
這一切都是出於本能，她不顧自己的安危，不顧任何代價，只爲了救下自己的孩子。
