Be a child
儿童
What constituted a child? Aged 12, children were able to leave school and begin work. Second Officer Lightoller tried to prevent 13-year-old John Ryerson from getting into a lifeboat with his mother. Mr. Ryerson, who would die that night, persuaded Lightoller that his son was a child and not an adult. "No more boys," the Officer was heard to mutter as he reluctantly allowed young John to leave the sinking ship.
什么是儿童?在当时,年龄达到12岁的儿童就可以离开学校去参加工作。船上的二副Lightoller曾试图阻止一名13岁的儿童和他的母亲一起登上救生艇。知道自己在劫难逃的父亲于是苦劝Lightoller,说明自己的孩子并不是成年人。二副这才不情愿地放行,让这个孩子上了救生艇,嘴里还嘟囔着“下不为例。”
