上記のサイトの最後の文（下記です）の適切な日本語訳をお教えください。
特に"a lack of privacy"をどの様に理解してよいのかわかりません。

The subway Samaritan may disagree, but in this case,
I’d say that a lack of privacy was a good thing.

地下鉄でのサマリタンは同意しないかもしれないが、この場合、（誰にでも聞こえるように）プライバシーがなかったことは良かったと言える。

　この記事今読んだばかりですが、何か大声で怒鳴ったことも。この場合は結果的には良かったと言えよう、みたいなことでしょうね。

お礼

ご回答有難うございます。
「（誰にでも聞こえるように）プライバシーがなかった」
とすればなんとなく理解できました。

ちなみにこのサマリタンはこの界隈では有名人のようですね。

I think I've seen this fellow if this is the E-M Downtown side train stop at 53rd St. and Fifth Ave. If so, he's been a mainstay there for at least 15 years. Unfortunately, he was stabbed on the platform there many years ago though luckily survived. I believe his name is Carl. I call him "Mr. Philosopher." He pontificates rather loudly in his deep colorful voice on many topics and is quite funny, though also misognystic at times. I figure he's had a few bad life experiences with women. I like him a great deal for his boldness, intelligence and wit. In my opinion, NYC needs more fellows like him, as shown by his good samaritan behavior in this short story and his entertaining, and often quite enlightening, lecturing of workaday passengers at this particular subway stop. He means well and is usually very good-natured. God bless Carl!
