1 Train Track and Children
Decision Making/做決定 Train Track and Children 火車鐵軌和小孩

2 Introduction/介紹 The story given here is quite interesting and really gives us an insight into DECISION MAKING 這個故事很有趣，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停用的鐵軌上玩，其他的小朋友全都在使用中的鐵軌上玩 。

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，那也意味著那個在停用鐵軌上玩的孤獨的小朋友將被犧牲掉。你該怎麼辦？或者就讓火車自己開過去嗎？ 讓我們停一下，想想我們會做怎樣的決定。

6 Which one will you choose?
Analyse the situation…………. 分析一下形勢… Think and reflect……. 仔細想想… Decided 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 rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. (據說) 大多數人會選擇改變火車軌道，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. 然而他卻不得不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 farsighted 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、政黨裡，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自己，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. 那個選擇不與其他在正在使用的鐵軌上玩耍的小孩被逐出局。在這裡，他被犧牲掉，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正在使用，如果她們聽到火車鳴笛，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. 但如果將軌道切換後，那個乖小孩必定慘死，因為他從來沒想過火車還會開到廢軌道上！而且，火車軌之所以被廢棄，一定是因為它也是不安全的。

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 如果火車被切過去了，整車的乘客可能被置於危險之中！在你試著用犧牲一個小孩的生命來挽救幾個小孩的時候，你可能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去做，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，正確的不總是大家都支持的那一個…大家都支持的不見得總是正確的。”
