While I was waiting in line at a coffee shop earlier, a woman drove alongside the queue in a mobility scooter (踏板车). There was only a 1 space between the line of people and the tables, which she attempted to drive along. She drove over my foot and didn't 2 saying nothing at all.
I got annoyed and expected she would have 3 , but then I just decided to 4 it and got down to selecting which pastry (点心) to go with my coffee. The lady and I ended up sitting at adjacent (邻近的) tables. She was on the end of a row so that she could park her 5 . After about half an hour, when she had 6 her coffee, she got up and back onto her scooter. It wouldn't start. She tried to turn the key several times 7 she telephoned the place she purchased it from.
An engineer 8 within 5 minutes. The place must have been local. I couldn't resist overhearing their conversation, and it turned out she had just 9 the scooter that morning. This was her very first outing in it. She felt really 10 about driving it. Certainly, she wasn't used to its speed, nor its 11 , and this combination made it quite 12 to drive it through narrow gaps.
Suddenly, I felt 13 for the lady. It really didn't 14 me at all that she'd driven over my foot. I had made an assumption, however, that a person doing that should apologize.
Next time you're about to 15 someone, pause for a second and remind yourself that people have judged you without knowing what was going on in your mind or your life.
