《English Translation》

小刚: 小宝, look, everyone online is talking about a food delivery brother. When he was delivering food, he accidentally hit a railing, and the security guard made him pay 200 yuan and kneel down to apologize!
小宝: Kneel down? Why did he have to kneel? Did he do something wrong?
小刚: It wasn't on purpose, just an accident. But the security guard said he damaged the railing and had to pay for it. The delivery brother might have been afraid of being late for other deliveries and getting fined, so he knelt down.
小宝: Do they get fined for delivering food?
小刚: Yes, if they're late with a delivery, they get fined. Think about it, when you order food delivery, don't you hope the delivery rider brings it quickly?
小宝: Yeah, that's true! But still, they shouldn't make him kneel! What are people online saying?
小刚: Many people online are saying the security guard was wrong and shouldn't have made him kneel. Some are also saying that the delivery brothers work too hard, having to kneel for just a few yuan. Everyone thinks it's pitiful.
小宝: Then when we order food delivery in the future, we should be nicer to the delivery brothers!
小刚: That's right, we should respect them. They work very hard to make sure we can eat hot meals.
