W: This is Kerry Burke from New York Daily News. I’m speaking toDelroy Simmonds, an unemployed Brooklyn man who missed a job interview Tuesdayfor the best of reasons: He was saving the life of a 9-month-old boy who wasblown into the path of an oncoming subway train by a high wind.

M: Everybody is making me out to be some sort of superhero. I'mjust an ordinary person, and a father of two. Anybody in that situation wouldhave done what I did.

W: You were going to an interview when the incident occurred, right?

M: Yes, I was on my way to apply for a maintenance position.I've been looking for a job for a year and more. I'm looking for something tosupport my family.

W: Tell us what happened at the station.

M: There was a strong wind. It had to be 30 to 40 miles an hour.There was a woman with four kids. One was in a pushchair. The wind blew thebaby onto the tracks.

W: Witnesses said people were looking on in horror as thechild's mother, identified by sources as Maria Zamara, stood frozen in shock.In the distance, people could see the train rounding a bend, headed into thestation. I guess you were not aware of any of these, right?

M: No. I just jumped down and grabbed the baby. The train wascoming around the corner as I lifted the baby from the tracks. I really wasn'tthinking.

W: What an amazing story! Thank you very much.

【翻译】

女：我是《纽约每日新闻》的Kerry Burke。我正在采访Delroy Simmonds，布鲁克林的一位失业男士，他周二因为一个极佳的理由错过了一场面试：他当时正在救一个因为大风被吹到铁路上的9个月大男婴，当时正有火车驶来。

男：大家都在说我好像是超级英雄。我只是一个普通的人，两个孩子的父亲。任何人在我当时的处境下都会那么做的。

女：事情发生的时候，你正要去一个面试对吧？

男：是的，我正要去竞聘一个维修师的职位。我已经找工作找了一年多了。我正在找点儿事情做，养家糊口。

女：给我们讲讲当时在车站的情形吧。

男：当时挂着很大的风。得有时速30-40英里。有一位女士带着四个孩子。其中一个还在推车里。大风把孩子刮到了铁路上。

女：目击者称周围的人都一脸惊恐，而孩子的母亲Maria Zamara当时都被吓傻了。不远处，火车就在拐角的地方驶入站台。我猜你当时压根儿没注意到这些事情吧？

男：没有。我跳下去，抓住孩子。我把孩子抓起来的时候火车正在拐弯。我当时真没多想。

女：真是个惊人的故事。非常感谢你。
