Answer 1

分析 文章大意：
一个法国游客在曼哈顿毫不犹疑的跳到寒冷的东江里救了一个两岁的小孩，受到了高度赞扬．
周二的每日新闻报道29岁的来自法国的Julien Duret 就是那个上周六在救了人之后很快离开现场的人．他在小女孩落水后将其举出水面，交给她的爸爸David Anderson．游在Duret的后面．
Duret说他没想那么多，事情发生的很快，我反应的也很快．
Duret是一个正在度假的工程师，他看见有什么东西落水，以为是一个玩具，走到河边发现是一个小孩，不加思索的脱了自己的大衣跳入河里．当他抓住小女孩的时候看起来她无生命特征了，幸运的是，将她拉出水面，她慢慢的睁开了眼睛．
 Anderson说自己在检查相机，这时女儿落水了，当救护车到达时，Duret和女朋友立刻离开了现场．
故事发生在他动身离开法国的前一天，Duret直到第二天他离开才意识到他的故事已经感动了纽约，他说："我真的不认为我是一个英雄，每个人都会这样做．"
