minor offence

Alcides Moreno and his brother Edgar were window washers, and they worked together on Manhattan high rise buildings for years.

阿尔西德斯·莫雷诺和他的兄弟埃德加是窗户清洗员，他们在曼哈顿的高层建筑物上工作了很多年了。

Investigators theorize that Alcides was able to sort of "ride" the platform, using it to help slow his descent, and his doctors noted that he did not hit his head or break his pelvis upon landing-the two things most likely to cause fatal complications in such a fall.

调查者推论阿尔西德斯当时以某种方式“骑”着平台，通过平台辅助减缓自己的下落速度，而他的医生发现他落地时头部未受撞击，股盆也未破碎--这两个地方受创是这种坠落情况下最易致命的并发症。

Alcides' days as a window washer are over, but his days of life should be plentiful, to the astonishment of literally everyone.

阿尔西德斯作为窗户清洗工的日子终结了，但他个人的正常生活并未终结，确实让每个人都为之震惊。

Firefighters arrived to find Edgar deceased and his brother Alcides alive, CONSCIOUS-and sitting up.

消防人员赶到时发现了已死去的埃德加和他还活着的兄弟：还有意识--并且坐着。
