2. Introduction/ 介紹
The story given here is quite
interesting and really gives us an
insight into DECISION MAKING
這個故事很有意思 ， 讓我們對 做
決定 有更深刻的認識 。
3. Which one will you choose?
你會選擇哪一個？
A group of children were playing near two
railway tracks, one still in use while the other
disused. Only one child played on the disused
track, the rest on the operational track.
有一群小朋友在兩條鐵軌附近玩耍，一條鐵軌還在使用
，一條已經停用；只有一個小朋友選擇在已停用的鐵軌
上完，其他的小朋友 都在仍在使用的鐵軌上玩 。
4. Which one will you choose?
The train came, and you were just beside
the track interchange. It was not possible
to stop the train but You could make the
train change its course to the disused
track and saved most of the kids.
這時火車來了，而你正站在鐵軌的切
換器旁。讓火車停下來已經不可能了
，但你能讓火車轉往停用的鐵軌，這
樣的話你就可以救了大多數的小朋友
。
5. Which one will you choose?
However, that would also mean the lone
child playing by the disused track would
be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the
train go its way?
Let's take a pause to think what kind of
decision we could make................
但是，那也意味著那個在已停用鐵軌上玩的孤獨
小朋友將被犧牲掉。你該怎麼辦？或者就讓火車
開過去嗎 ( 你不採取任何動作 ) ？
讓我們停一下，想想我們會做怎樣的決定。
6. Which one will you choose?
Analyze the situation………….
分析一下形勢…
Think and reflect…….
仔細想想…
Decide your answer !!!!
給出你的答案 !!!
Now … go ahead
現在…繼續 !!!
7. Which one will you choose?
Most people might choose to divert the
course of the train, and sacrifice only one
child. To save most of the children at the
expense of only one child was a rational
decision most people would make,
morally and emotionally.
大多數人會選擇 轉換火車軌道，犧牲
那名在停用鐵軌上玩的小孩。無論從道
義上還是情感上講，以一個孩子的代價
來挽救大多數孩子的生命會是大多數人
的理性決定。
8. Which one will you choose?
But, have you ever thought that the child
choosing to play on the disused track had in
fact made the right decision to play at a safe
place?
但是，你是否想過，那名選擇在停用鐵軌上玩的小孩
顯然是做出了正確決定 - - 在安全的地方玩？
Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed
because of his ignorant friends who chose to
play where the danger was.
然而他卻必須 為那些選擇在危險的地方玩的無知的
朋友們而去犧牲。
9. Which one will you choose?
This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In
the office, community, in politics and especially in a
democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for
the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or
ignorant the majority are, and how far-sighted and
knowledgeable the minority are.
這種進退兩難的局面 每天都在我們的身邊發生。
在辦公室、團體裡、政治圈裡，尤其在一個民主的社會
，少數人常常為了多數人的利益而犧牲，無論那些多數
人是多麼愚蠢和無知，無論少數人多麼有遠見和卓識。
10. Which one will you choose?
The child who chose not to play with the
rest on the operational track was
sidelined. And in the case he was
sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for
him.
那個選擇不與其他小孩在 仍在使用的鐵軌
上玩耍的唯一小孩 被逐出局 。 他如果被
犧牲掉 ， 沒有人為他落一滴眼淚 。
11. Which one will you choose?
To make the proper decision is not try to change
the course of the train, because the kids playing
on the operational track should have known very
well that track was still in use, and that they
should have run away if they heard the train's
sirens.
正確的決定是 – 不要試圖讓火車變道
， 因為在鐵軌上玩的孩子們當然知道軌道仍在使
用 ， 當她們聽到火車鳴笛 ， 自然會跑開的 。
12. Which one will you choose?
If the train was diverted, that lone child
would definitely die because he never
thought the train could come over to that
track! Moreover, that track was not in use
probably because it was not safe.
如果你將軌道切換後 ， 那個乖小孩必定慘
死 ， 因為他從沒想過火車還會開到廢軌道
上 ！ 而且 ， 該 軌道之所以被廢棄 ， 可能是
因為它是有問題 , 不安全的 。
13. Which one will you choose?
If the train was diverted to the track, we could
put the lives of all passengers on board at
stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by
sacrificing one child, you might end up
sacrificing hundreds of people to save these
few kids.
如果火車被切換過去了 ， 整車的乘客可能
被置於危險之中 ！ 在你試著犧牲一個小孩
的生命來挽救幾個小孩的時候 ， 你可能結
果是 在用整車的乘客來挽救這幾個小孩子
。
14. Which one will you choose?
While we are all aware that life is full of tough
decisions that need to be made, we may not
realize that hasty decisions may not always be
the right one. "Remember that what's right isn't
always popular... and what's popular isn't
always right.“
我們都知道 生活中充滿著艱難 的決定 需要我們
生活中充滿著
去做 ， 但 我們可能沒有意識到 ， 匆忙做出的決定
並不總是正確的 。“ 記住 ， 正確的 決定 不總是
大家都支持的那一個 … 而 大家都支持的不見得
總是正確的 。”
