能从泰坦尼克号上死里逃生的九种人 Be a woman妇女 　　The law of the sea is women and children first. 海上的规矩是妇女儿童优先。 　　Real women stood by their men, and the heroine of the night was Ida Straus who stayed on board with her husband of fifty years, the owner of Macys Department store. Where you go, I go, Mrs. Straus is reported to have said. 但“真正的”女人会与她们的男人共进退。沉船当晚，就有这样一位真女人，她就是梅西百货创始人的妻子Ida Straus，她与相濡以沫50年的丈夫一起留在了船上。据说，她当时曾经这样说过，“你去哪里，我就去哪里。” 　　Of the 705 people who survived, 140 were women in First Class, 80 were women in Second Class, and 76 were women in Third Class. Of the twenty-three female members of the crew, twenty survived。在生还的705人中，有140名女性是一等舱的乘客，80名女性乘坐二等舱，还有76名女性来自三等舱。船上的23名女性员工中有20人幸存。 　　Be a child儿童 　　What constituted a child?

To prevent him from being detected, one woman threw a shawl over a passenger called Daniel Buckley who was hiding in her boat. Several men were falsely accused of having dressed as women in order to save their lives。来自三等舱的爱尔兰乘客Edward Ryan包了一块毛巾在头上后就跳到了救生船上。另一位男乘客Daniel Buckley为了不让自己被发现，就把同船上的一位女乘客扔给他的围巾披在身上。还有一些人因此被诬告装成女人来逃命。 　　None. It later became a point of pride to say that you survived the Titanic because you were dressed as a woman。无话可说啊。没准这些男人以后还会自豪地告诉别人自己能从沉船上活下来是因为穿了女人的衣服。 　　Be
