In 1985 a French television company sent its reporters to the Paris Metro. They took cameras to see what passengers would do if they saw someone attached on the platform or in the trains. They acted out incidents. The incidents looked real but they were all done with the help of actors. However, very few people tried to help, and most passengers pretended not to notice. in one incident, a foreigner was attacked by three men. The attack was on a train which was quite full, and although one man tried to get the passengers to help, they all refused. It seems that such behaviour(行为) is not unusual, but the question is why? Is it a problem of big cities, or would the same thing happen anywhere? To discuss these questions, we have in the studio(演播室) Professor Wilson, who is an expert on the subject⋯
译文：
1985年，一家法国电视公司将其记者派往巴黎地铁。他们带着摄像机去看，如果乘客看到有人在站台上或列车上附着，他们会怎么做。他们表演了一些事件。这些事件看起来很真实，但它们都是在演员的帮助下完成的。然而，很少有人试图提供帮助，大多数乘客假装没有注意到。袭击发生在一列满员的火车上，尽管一名男子试图让乘客帮忙，但他们都拒绝了。看起来这种行为并不罕见，但问题是为什么？这是大城市的问题，还是同样的事情会发生在任何地方？为了讨论这些问题，我们在演播室请来了威尔逊教授，他是这方面的专家。
