事情发生在曼哈顿熙熙攘攘的华盛顿广场公园。
It's in Manhattan's bustling Washington Square Park.
在公园的不同地点，《每日邮报》的工作人员放置了两个小孩--一个六岁小男孩和一个六岁小女孩，此外还有一只小狗、一只小猫，作为社会实验的一部分。
At different points in the park, DailyMail.com placed two children - a six-year-old boy and girl - as well as a dog and a cat, as part of a social experiment.
他们四个都有监护人的监视，并被秘密拍摄下来。
All four were being monitored by carers and secretly filmed.
那么你认为谁最先在最短的时间内得到陌生人的帮助呢？实验结果令人震惊，但是从某种程度上来说，这也是意料之内的。
So who do you think was the first to be 'rescued' by a stranger in the least amount of time alone? The results of the test were both shocking and, to some degree, expected.
有趣的是，每一个驻足试图提供帮助的都是女性。然而，最有意思的是，六岁的男孩山姆却没有引起路人的注意，即使是他坐在地上用双手抱着头长达45分钟。
Interestingly, each person to stop and try and help was female. Most surprising, however, was that six-year-old boy Sam did not catch the attention of one passer-by, even as he sat with his head in his hands for a long 45 minutes.
山姆甚至开始哭闹：“帮帮我，来个人帮帮我。”
Sam even started saying: 'Help me. Someone, help me.'
相反的是，六岁的女孩卡莉仅仅在三分钟后便第一个得到了帮助。
Conversely, our six-year-old girl subject, Carly, was tended to first, after just three minutes.
第一个获得帮助的：女孩
Rescue No. 1 : The girl
参与该实验的六岁女孩卡莉，在仅仅三分钟过后就有一位女性路人靠近了她。
The six-year-old girl that took part in the experiment, Carly, was approached by a female passer-by first after just over three minutes.
这位女性说道：“我当时看着运动场，注意到她一个人孤零零地站在那儿，然后我四周望了望是否有人跟她一块儿，结果没有。所以我走了过来问她'还好吗？'她说她找不到妈妈了。”
'I was watching the playground and I saw her standing by herself, and then I looked around to see who was with her and I didn't see anybody. So I went over and said 'are you ok?' and she said that she couldn't find her mom,' the woman said.
第二个获得帮助的：小狗
Rescue No.2: The dog
排在第二位的是名为查理的哈巴狗，它是一只救援犬。
Coming in second was Charlie the pug, who is a rescue dog.
查理孤零零地呆在那儿，脖子上还带着皮带，在4分钟36秒的时候，一位妇女停了下来看看它是否有主人。
Charlie was left alone and wandering with his leash attached for 4 minutes and 36 seconds when a woman stopped to check if he had an owner.
第三个获得帮助的：小猫
Rescue No.3: The cat
名为帕贝莉的小猫被扔在了公园人行道中央的一个猫笼，无法四处走动。
Our cat subject, Mrs Parberry, was left sitting in the middle of the park sidewalk in a cat kennel, to stop her from running away.
一位妇女在10分17秒后停下了脚步。她说道：“当我看到有只动物在这个笼子里面时，心里十分难过，里面太热了。”
A woman stopped after 10 minutes and 17 seconds. 'When I saw the animal carrier with an animal in it, I was very upset,' she said. 'It's hot.'
而与此同时…山姆，这个参与实验的六岁小男孩，在45分钟之后都没有人走近他。
Meanwhile...Sam, the six-year-old boy who took part in the experiment, was not approached once after 45 minutes.
山姆的妈妈米歇尔表示：“人们没有驻足，我并不感到惊讶。这是在纽约，大家都很忙。每一个人都沉浸于他们的心事和电话交流之中。”
'I'm not surprised that people don't stop,' said Sam's mother, Michelle. 'This is New York. It's busy. Everyone is deep in their thoughts and phone conversations.'
