《纽约时报》：在被封锁的武汉，他运送的还有希望

It is grueling and dangerous work. Mr. Zhang, who works for Hema, a supermarket chain owned by the tech giant Alibaba, crisscrosses the city armed only with the face masks and hand sanitizer that his company supplies each morning. 这是艰巨而危险的工作 。 张赛为科技巨头阿里巴巴旗下的连锁超市盒马鲜生工作 ， 每天早上配备公司提供的口罩和消毒洗手液在城市中穿梭 。 His company uniform, bright blue with a hippo logo, tells the local authorities that he is allowed to be on the road. 他的公司制服是鲜艳的蓝色 ， 带有河马标识 ， 让地方当局知道他是可以上路的 。 At night, he tries not to think about the epidemic. He listens to pop songs and looks for good news on TV. 在晚上 ， 他试图不去想疫情 。 他听流行歌曲 ， 并在电视上寻找好消息 。 The dozens of trips he makes each day are born of not just Wuhan’s necessity but his own. His wife and 4-year-old twin boys, as well as his father, rely on him for financial support. He never considered taking time off, even after the danger of the outbreak became clear. When his family asked him to stop, he ignored them, too. 他每天进行的数十次递送不仅出于武汉的需要 ， 还为了他自己的生活 。 他的妻子和4岁的双胞胎男孩以及他的父亲依靠他提供经济支持 。 即使疫情的危险越来越明显 ， 他也从未考虑过请假 。 当家人要求他停下来时 ， 他也不听 。 Mr. Zhang’s family lives outside Wuhan, and he cannot visit because of the outbreak, but he video chats with them daily. 张赛的家人不住在武汉 ， 由于疫情暴发他无法回去看他们 ， 但每天都和他们视频聊天 。 If he goes fast and works long days, Mr. Zhang said, he could make about 8,000 yuan a month, or just over $1,100 — more than he made in his previous job as a mail courier. The average monthly salary in Wuhan in 2017 was about 6,640 yuan, according to the data provider CEIC. 张赛说 ， 如果骑得快一点并且工作时间够长 ， 每个月可以赚大约8000元人民币（约合1100美元出头）——这比他以前担任邮递员的工作时赚的要多 。 根据数据提供商CEIC的数据 ， 2017年武汉市的平均月薪约为6640元 。

赵彬拍摄的武汉外卖骑手 Mr. Zhang and his colleagues offer one another a constantly updating stream of advice. It was one of Mr. Zhang’s colleagues who told him to use a key to press elevator buttons. Another afternoon, someone said in the company group text that a suspected coronavirus patient had died in Neighborhood 125. Don’t enter that area of Wuhan anymore, the message said. 张赛和他的同事们互相提供随时更新的建议 。 张赛的一个同事告诉他要用钥匙按电梯按钮 。 某天下午 ， 有人在公司群里说 ， 125小区一个疑似患者去世了 。 信息上说 ， 大家就不要再进那个小区了 。 “So damn unlucky,” a colleague said. “Those orders were assigned to me.” “真倒霉 ， ”一位同事说 。 “125的单子派给我 。 ” So far, none of Mr. Zhang’s co-workers have fallen sick, he said. 张赛说 ， 到目前为止 ， 他的同事都没有生病 。 The epidemic has brought some unexpected bright spots. Before, Mr. Zhang said, he sometimes ran red lights during rush hour in order to meet his delivery goals for the day. Now, the streets are empty. He has no problem getting around. 疫情带来了一些意想不到的亮点 。 张赛说 ， 以前 ， 他有时为了完成当天的递送任务在高峰时段闯红灯 。 现在 ， 街道空无一人 。 他去哪都很顺畅 。 People are nicer, too. Some customers barely opened the door or avoided eye contact. After the outbreak erupted, everyone said thank you. 人们的态度也更好了 。 有些客户几乎不来开门或者看都不看一眼 。 疫情暴发后 ， 每个人都说谢谢 。 “There’s a saying: ‘A man’s words are kind when death is close,’” Mr. Zhang said. “Everybody is very tired. Everybody has been suffering for so long.” “有一句话说：‘人之将死 ， 其言也善 。 ’”张赛说 。 “大家都很辛苦 。 大家已经被折腾这么久了 。 ”
