I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don’t go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust.We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。在天色已晚且多次堵车的情况下作者仍能遵守交通规则。事后,作者反思自己做出这一决定的原因:互相信任是人的第一倾向,人与人之间的信任是我们整个社会建设的基础……他为自己的决定而自豪。
