Her phone call left me a bit anxious. What were these two women, neither of whom spoke German or were familiar with the city, going to do in the middle of the night? What's more, I was unable to help them, living hundreds of kilometers away in the Ruhrgebiet as I did. After all, you can't put out a fire when you aren't even there.
當我接到這樣的電話時，我也很著急，不知深夜這二個女子，在德文不通、城市不熟的窘境下如何度過難關，偏偏我居住的是遠在好幾百公里外的魯爾區，遠水救不了近火呀！
