問題詳情

It was a fine day in early spring. Bright sunshine flooded the street where a group of boys in Sunday clothes were playingball. In most of the tenements the windows were up. Clean-shaven men in collarless shirts or in underwear, women with apronsor sloppy pink wrappers leaned on the sills and gazed with aimless interest at the street, the sky, those who were passing below.Thus they would spend most of every Sunday morning through the coming summer and now, in the first flush of mild weather,they had already taken up their posts. The street rang with the animated bickerings of the boys at their games, with the click ofa girl’s shoes as she skipped rope, with the muted sounds of a dozen unseen radios.Into this familiar scene came a sudden intruder: an odd-looking ambulance with glazed windows. It turned into the streetquietly, moved along slowly as the driver searched for a number, and then came to a stop before a rooming house—a drab,four-story building of yellowish, soot-stained brick. In the tenement windows above all eyes turned to the ambulance. On thestreet all games stopped and, in an instant, the ambulance was surrounded by children.Those who knew why it had come told the others. An hour earlier there had been a police car and, still earlier, two menfrom the gas company. The odor of gas emanating from the building had been so strong that it had made church-goers sniff asthey passed by on the street.Up above now, in the open windows of the surrounding tenements, new faces had appeared, and eyes were riveted on thedoorway of the yellow brick building. No one talked, no one moved away, and no one came down. When the two men in thefront seat of the ambulance stepped out and walked into the house, one of the boys, a wiry, sallow-faced, blond lad, jerked histhumb and murmured softly to the others: “Oh, mamma, ain’t they got the job?” “They’ll be carrying you down some day,Shorty,” a stoutish lad commented with an attempt at humor.(Source: Adapted from Sunday Morning on Twentieth Street)第 6 頁，共 6 頁
