感人!印度母親在女兒車禍地點自發維護交通

Dorris Francis is known as the "traffic heroine" in Ghaziabad, a suburban area near the Indian capital Delhi.

在印度首都德里的郊區加濟阿巴德附近，一名名叫多麗絲·弗朗西斯的人被稱爲“交通女英雄”。

Ms Francis is not a police officer but she manages traffic in the same spot day after day, on a busy intersection of roads.

弗朗西斯女士不是一位交警，但是她日復一日的在同一個地方：一個繁忙的十字路口，維護着交通秩序。

The intersection has special significance for her - it is the same place her daughter Nikki died in an accident in 2010.

這個十字路口對她來說有着非同尋常的意義：2010年，她的女兒就是在這裏的一起車禍中喪生的。

Ms Francis is confident and looks in complete control as she ensures the smooth and safe passage of traffic in the area.

弗朗西斯女士保證了該地區的交通順利和安全，她很有信心，看起來完全能掌控局面。

"I know about her story, she works selflessly. I haven't seen many who have the courage like her. I don't know how she can come every day to the same spot where she lost her daughter," police constable Kumar Pal Singh, who is at the intersection, tells BBC News.

負責該區域的交警Kumar Pal Singh在接受BBC的採訪時表示，“我知道她的事蹟。她一直在無私的奉獻。我沒有看到其他人有她這樣的勇氣。我都不知道她每天是怎麼來到女兒出事的地點的。”

Ms Francis still remembers the day when a speeding car hit the tuk-tuk in which she was travelling with her daughter.

弗朗西斯女士永遠記得那一天，一輛速度很快的汽車撞上了她和女兒一起乘坐的小車。

"She died, I survived. I wish traffic was managed better that day," she tells the BBC.

她告訴BBC記者，“女兒走了，我卻倖存了下來。我多麼盼望那天有人維持交通秩序。”

It's not difficult to understand the risk of accidents at this busy intersection because drivers looked reckless in the absence of any supervision.

在這個車水馬龍的十字路口，因爲沒有任何監督，司機都開的很莽撞，這就不難理解爲什麼這裏交通事故的風險很高了。

But when Ms Francis is present, most drivers follow her instructions and the traffic looks orderly. She even gets tough with them, sometimes even mildly whacking reckless pedestrians and drivers with a stick.

但是自弗朗西斯女士出現後，大部分司機都遵從她的指示，交通變得井然有序。她甚至對他們採取強硬手段，有時，甚至用棍子適當的敲打那些不守規矩的路人和司機。

"It's been more than six years since I started. My mission was to save lives and not let any mother lose her daughter, husband or son. And that's what I have been doing and I will continue to do until I have strength in my body," she says.

弗朗西斯女士表示，“我做這件事已經有6年多了。我的任務是挽救生命，不讓更多的母親失去她的女兒、丈夫或兒子。這就是我一直在做的事，只要我此生還有力氣，我就會堅持下去。”
