話說火車站

A railway station is perhaps the most crowded place in the world.It always leaves me such an impression.People, from almost all parts of the world, rush in and out of railway stations every day. They are completely strangers.They seldom look into each other's eyes,let alone speaking to each other.But ,perhaps, some day if something unusual happens,things will be different.Two strangers might not only get to know each other,but also become life-long friends.So,in some story-teller's eyes a railway station is usually the place where stories may happen.

火車站或許是世界上最擁擠的地方了。它總是給我這樣的印象。幾乎是來自世界各地的人們每天匆匆涌進(jìn)火車站又匆匆涌出去。他們完全是陌生人。他們的眼睛幾乎沒有對視，更不要說很對方講話。但是，或許有一天，如果某些特別的事發(fā)生，事情就變得不同了。兩個陌生人可能不僅認(rèn)識對方，還成為終生的朋友。所以，在一些講故事的人嚴(yán)重，火車站通常是有故事的地方。

一個男人想搭火車去曼徹斯特旅行。出發(fā)之前，他查找了火車的時間表，發(fā)現(xiàn)八點(diǎn)鐘有一趟火車。
