A: Did you see the news? An elderly woman living alone hadn't picked up the yogurt she ordered for three days, and after a neighbor lady found she couldn't reach her, she immediately called the police.
你听说了吗,一位独居老人订了酸奶后三天没拿,一位邻居大姐发现联系不上老人后立即报了警。
(nǐ tīnɡshuō lema, yīwèi dújū lǎorén dìnɡle suānnǎi hòu sāntiān méiná, yīwèi línjū dàjiě fāxiàn liánxì bùshànɡ lǎorénhòu lìjí bàolejǐnɡ.)
B: What happened? It's hard to assure safety for an elderly person living alone. Her family must have been very anxious.
出什么事了？老人一个人居住,安全难以保证,她的家人一定很着急。
(chū shénme shì le? lǎorén yīɡèrén jūzhù, ānquán nányǐ bǎozhènɡ, tāde jiārén yīdìnɡ hěnzhaojí.)
A: In fact, the elderly woman was hospitalized, so she was not at home. Luckily, it wasn't anything serious.
老人其实是住院了,所以没在家。幸好她没有什么大碍。
(lǎorén qíshíshì zhùyuàn le, suǒyǐ méizàijiā.xìnɡhǎo tā méiyǒu shénme dàài.)
B: I think that the lady was very vigilant. As neighbors of others, we should also learn from this lady to care for the people around us.
我觉得那位大姐的警惕性真强。作为他人的邻居,我们也应该像这位大姐一样关心身边的人。

A: Yup. We should care for our neighbors, especially those elderly neighbors living alone.
没错。我们应该关心自己的邻居,特别是要关注独居的老年人。
