Tips to help a disabled stranger in public
We’ve all seen the elderly man with his walker struggling to make it to his car or the woman in the wheelchair desperately trying to cross a busy street on her own. We may wish to help, but for fear of being offensive or even putting ourselves in danger, we resist. However, there are general steps that can be taken to ensure that your aiding a neighbor is both safe and welcome. 注释：
1. We’ve all seen the elderly man with his walker struggling to make it to his car...
我们见过用助行车（walker）的老人努力推着车走向他的汽车......（it指代his walker） 2. for fear of 害怕 3. offensive 攻击的，讨厌的 4. resist 抵抗，对抗
Tip #1: Ask yourself if this person truly needs your help.
Individuals with limited mobility grasp their limitations, and they are fully aware of what they can and cannot handle when they venture out on their own. As such, be careful to analyze the true need before offering what may be an unwelcome hand. If a person is truly in distress, you’ll know. Otherwise, give the situation a moment or two and allow the disabled individual a chance to maintain dignity. 注释：
1. mobility 活动性，能动性 2. grasp their limitations 明白他们的局限性
3. venture 冒险，敢于 4. as such 同样地 5. distress 困难，危难（常用词可以是trouble）
Tip #2: Register any lack of eye contact.
When we need help, our first reaction is generally to scan our immediate surroundings for any willing volunteers. If a disabled person appears to be in distress and is looking around, namely at you, in an attempt to make eye contact, you may be needed for assistance. On the other hand, if you find yourself running down a person “in need” who is facing away from you, you may find yourself receiving a mixed reaction for your “generosity”.
注释：register 注意到 scan 细看，审视 immediate 最接近的
Tip #3: Be quiet about it.
If you are certain that a disabled stranger is in need of your help, try not to attract unwanted attention to that individual and their condition. Placing yourself in their position, and understanding that bringing even more attention upon an unfortunate physical ailment, may help curb any unnecessary enthusiasm.
注释：ailment 疾病（尤指慢性病） curb 抑制
Tip #4: Check the disabled for your own safety.
Being disabled does not prevent a total stranger from being hostile, or even dangerous. Just as you would be cautious of anyone you aren’t familiar with, so should you be wary of helping someone disabled who does not appear receptive of such a social encounter. 注释：
1. hostile怀有敌意的 wary 谨慎的 receptive 愿意接受的 encounter 遭遇，偶遇
2. ... so should you be wary of helping someone disabled who does not appear receptive of such a social encounter.
此句是倒装句，表示“也”的so位于句首，主谓部分倒装。句意：......你们也应该谨慎地帮助似乎不愿意接受这样的社交接触的残疾人。
Tip #5: Help those only within a reasonable closeness.
Of course, this tip is generalized. If a disabled individual has fallen within your scope of vision, helping is understandable. However, rushing across the grocery store parking lot to help a disabled person with a task may cause alarm and fear. Just as you wouldn’t wish for a total stranger to approach you from a great distance without obvious cause, a disabled individual may not wish to be chased down.
注释：scope （处理的）范围 chase 追逐
Tip #6: Upon helping a disabled stranger, speak respectfully and briefly.
Again, maintaining dignity for the other person is essential to truly being helpful to your neighbor. Asking about the details of a disability is not in your best interest, nor is such behavior respectful of one’s privacy. Imagine yourself suffering from a physical disability for a moment. Again, the above tips are generalized and are meant to ensure not only your safety but also that your aid is welcome and needed. With these guidelines in mind, however, using your own judgment when helping out a
