I'm always the slowest in a hiking group. 每次跟团徒步，我总是走得最慢的那一个。

It's at the back, breathing loudly, watching everyone's backpacks get smaller. 我总是在最后面喘着粗气，眼睁睁看着大家的背包越变越小。

On this trip, there was a man behind me. 但这次徒步，我身后总跟着一个男人。

Every time I stopped, he stopped. 每次我停下来，他也跟着停下。

He'd look at a tree, or tie his shoe, 他要么看看树，要么系系鞋带，

or take a photo of a rock. 要么对着一块石头拍张照。

I felt sorry for him. 我当时还挺替他感到抱歉的。

We walked like that all day, 我们就这样走了一整天，

me in front, him ten steps back. 我在前，他在我身后十步远。

He never passed me. 他一次都没有超过去。

Sometimes he said, "Nice pace," which was kind, and untrue. 有时他会说：“节奏不错，”很暖心，但显然不是真话。

At the campsite, I heard the others talking. 到了营地，我听到其他人聊天才知道。

He was the group leader. 原来他是领队。

He'd climbed this mountain forty times. 这门山他已经爬过四十次了。

He could have run it. 他完全能直接跑上去的。

He wasn't slow. 他根本不慢。

He was walking at my speed, on purpose, 他是故意配合我的速度，

so that I would never be last. 好让我永远不是最后一个人。

He never said a word about it. 他对此只字未提。

Some people lead from the back. 有些人，是用殿后的方式在引领大家。
