閱讀測驗
The phrase “good Samaritan,” coming from a story in the New Testament, becomes a law in
many countries today. A good Samaritan is a person who helps someone in trouble, even a complete
stranger. It could be somebody who has been in an accident and needs medical help or who is being
robbed or attacked by others.
In the U.S. and Canada, Good Samaritan laws say that you won’t get into any trouble if you
help somebody but the result isn’t successful. The law protects good Samaritans, and nobody on the
spot of an accident has to help if they don’t want to. However, once you stop to help someone, you
have to stay until professional help arrives, such as an ambulance or the police. In addition, good
Samaritans are not allowed to ask the person they helped for any reward.
On the other hand, several other countries including Japan, Italy, France, Spain, Israel, and
Belgium all have Good Samaritan laws saying that one MUST be a good Samaritan and stop to help
someone who is hurt. Take Princess Diana’s car crash, for example. The photographers who had been
following her all along broke the law by taking pictures instead of trying to help her as the tragedy
happened. That could have put them in jail and fined them $83,000.
It is always nice to help somebody who is in trouble. But when it comes to the law, it’s
important to know what you should do in any situation. If you witness somebody being hurt or
robbed, what you can do is stop and call the emergency number so that more help will come. If
everyone is willing to lend a helping hand to people in trouble, you might be saved by a good
Samaritan some day when you need help.
