One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. Someone else will stop for him, I reasoned. Besides, that gas can is just a ploy to flag down a car and rob the driver.

夏季的一天，我从加利福尼亚的家乡塔和市驾车前往新奥尔良。在穿越沙漠的时候，我遇见一个站在路旁的年轻人。他一手抱着汽油桶，一手竖起拇指。我从他身边驶过。我告诉自己，别人会为他停下来的。而且，那汽油桶很可能只是一个陷阱，让驾驶员停下来，然后他就可以打劫了。

一个夏天，我正从居住的加利福尼亚的Tahoe市开往新奥尔良市。开到沙漠中时，我看到路边站着一个年轻人。他一手竖着大拇指，另一只手拎着一个汽油罐。我从他身边驶过。别人会停车让他搭乘的。我这样认为。除此以外，那个汽油罐只是一个为了让司机停车然后打劫车子的幌子。
