英語新聞丨北京火鍋店店主因救人犧牲，市民排隊致敬

Crowds at a hotpot restaurant in Beijing's Haidian district have recently been drawn by more than the food, as people from the capital and beyond flock to the eatery for a meal as well as to pay their respects to a hero who sacrificed his life to save others.

最近，北京市海淀區(qū)西二旗的一家火鍋店突然“火”了起來，每到飯點都顧客盈門，甚至要排隊等位。許多等位的顧客火鍋店的老板因為救落水者而犧牲，大家都想以這樣的方式向英雄表達敬意。

"I just want to come to see the hero's restaurant and show my respect," said Lyu Zhaoshun, a resident of Beijing's Chaoyang district, who drove his entire family to the restaurant.

"If it were just for a meal, there would be no need to drive so far. I came here because I want my children to experience the atmosphere of honoring a hero and to learn his spirit of selflessness," said Lyu.

家住朝陽區(qū)的呂照順帶著全家人來到火鍋店，他告訴記者：“我們今天來這里，主要是為了向救人英雄致敬。如果只是為了吃一頓飯，根本不需要開車跑這么遠。但是，我認為，在孩子的成長道路上，這是一次觸碰心靈的教育。”

Luan Liuwei, a 41-year-old man from Ningyang county in Tai'an, Shandong province, ran the Beijing restaurant with his wife for many years.

41歲的欒留偉是山東省泰安市寧陽縣人，他和妻子經(jīng)營這家北京火鍋店多年。

On Aug 10, while visiting Gu'an county of Langfang, Hebei province, with his daughter, Luan saved three children from drowning in the Yongding River. However, when he went back into the water to rescue an adult in distress, he drowned due to exhaustion.

8月10日，河北省固安縣高新區(qū)永定河邊，當發(fā)現(xiàn)一名男子帶著3名兒童不慎落水后，欒留偉毫不猶豫沖下河救人，將3名落水兒童推向安全地帶后，他再度沖進河中去營救遇險的大人，終因體力不支，不幸溺亡。

On Wednesday, Ningyang, which was Luan's hometown, posthumously awarded him the title of "Model of the New Era in Ningyang" and buried him in the local martyrs' cemetery.

8月21日，救人英雄欒留偉被安葬在故鄉(xiāng)寧陽的烈士陵園內(nèi)，并被迫授“新時代陽楷?！钡姆Q號。

Luan's heroic act gained widespread attention and deeply moved people in Beijing and beyond. People from all over the capital city as well as from other areas have flocked to his restaurant to pay tribute to the hero and support the business.

欒留偉的英雄事跡，也讓北京市民深受感動。大家從四面八方趕到他生前經(jīng)營的餐館，向英雄致敬的同時，也用實際行動來幫襯店里的生意。

"By around 5 pm, the restaurant was already full, and I waited for more than an hour without getting a seat," said a customer surnamed Wang, who had traveled from Beijing's Tongzhou district, about 50 kilometers away, according to a report in Beijing Daily.

市民王先生特意從通州趕到西二旗，他告訴記者，下午5點多，店里就坐滿了，等了一個多小時還沒排上。

Despite the long wait, customers showed no signs of impatience.

但店內(nèi)店外排隊等候的市民不見任何急躁情緒，紛紛表示理解。

"People came here not just for the food, but also for Luan's story, so they don't want to leave," said one of the waiting customers.

“大家來這，不光為了吃飯，都是被欒留偉的事跡感動了，不愿意離開?！币晃坏任坏氖忻裾f。

Even some people from afar have gone to the restaurant to show their respect for the hero. A person from Heilongjiang province, after reading the news online, traveled more than eight hours by train to show support.

除了本地市民，還有游客專門從外地趕來。一位東北游客告訴記者，自己在網(wǎng)上看到新聞后，特意坐火車從黑龍江趕來北京，1600公里，坐了8個半小時的火車。

One restaurant employee said, "The restaurant doesn't open until 11 am, but there were already customers waiting starting at 9 am." The employee added that the previous day, the last group of customers left at 1 am.

工作人員表示，他們實實在在感受到了大家給予的溫暖。店里11點才開門營業(yè)，但上午9點多就已經(jīng)有顧客早早在門口等候。昨天，更是一直到凌晨1點才送走最后一撥客人。

People tried to make donations, only to have staff members chase them for several blocks to return the money. A waitress said that Luan's wife has declined to accept any donations.

一位店員說，欒留偉的妻子不收任何捐贈。有人甚至把捐款放下就跑，以至店員追出幾條街。
