I have a neighbor. He shouts at his kids a lot. He has a close friend with a little girl, Mindy. Does this guy also shout at his kids a lot? I don't know...
我有個鄰居,他經(jīng)常大聲罵孩子。他的一個好朋友有個小女兒,叫明迪,但是我不知道那個人是否也經(jīng)常大聲罵孩子……
The other day, my neighbor's son Marco, 6, and Mindy, also 6, rang my door bell. "Marco threw his monster ball on your balcony. We want to get it - if you won't be angry?"
前幾天,我鄰居6歲的兒子馬爾科和同歲的明迪按響了我的門鈴?!榜R爾科把他的怪獸球扔到你家陽臺了,我們想拿回它——你不會生氣吧?”
Me: Of course I won't be angry. Come in.
我:當然不會生氣。請進吧。
Mindy: Are you really not angry?
明迪:你真的沒有生氣?
Me: No.
我:真的不會。
Mindy: When are you angry?
明迪:那你什么時候生氣呀?
Me: I'm never angry with kids.
我:我從不跟孩子生氣。
Mindy: Really?
明迪:真的嗎?

我:真的。
Mindy: Never?
明迪:從來沒有?
Me: Never.
我:從來沒有。
Mindy: Not even if we do something wrong?
明迪:即使我們做錯了也不生氣?
Me: No. I'd probably tell you it was wrong, but I wouldn't be angry.
我:不生氣。我可能會告訴你那是錯的,但是我不會生氣。
Mindy looked at me, then repeated: "You won't be angry with me?"
明迪看著我,然后又說了一遍:“你真的不會跟我們生氣?”

She looked at me again, for a few seconds, then flung herself into my arms.
她又看了我?guī)酌腌?,然后飛撲進我的懷里。
I didn't even know her, before this. There's no saying exactly what the background is, but I found it sad.
在此之前我從未了解過她。我說不準背后的原因,但是我覺得這件事讓人很難過。

In recent news, a man had entered into an electrified swimming pool to save his daughter and subsequently died from electrocution. His daughter survived.
最近有個新聞,有個男人進到一個通了電的游泳池去救他的女兒,隨后他就觸電死亡,但是他的女兒活下來了。
My 5-year-old son looked wide-eyed as I read the report to my wife. Silence overtook the room for a moment and then in a still, small voice he said, "Daddy, would you die for me?"
當我給妻子念這條新聞的時候,我5歲的兒子睜大眼睛看著我。一時間屋里一片寂靜,過了一會兒,他平靜而小聲說道:“爸爸,你會為我而死嗎?”
"Yes, of course."
“當然會?!?/p>
Tears welled up in his baby brown eyes. "I would die for you, too."
他棕色的眼睛里涌出了淚水?!拔乙矔槟愣赖摹!?/p>
Needless to say, I swept him into my arms and broke down.
無需多言,我把他擁進懷里,失聲痛哭。

I was out all day, and didn't check in with my son, thinking at his age (17) he wouldn't care what I was doing. I was wrong. He somehow got it into his head that I might have had an accident. And worse, since his father died, I am his only parent. He said to me later, in a tone that showed exactly how scared and hurt he was, that I had frightened him into thinking he now had no parents and was all alone in the world. Needless to say, I felt horrible and have vowed to check in if I am ever out later than expected.
我在外面呆了一整天,也沒告訴我兒子,我覺得17歲的他不會在乎我在做什么。然而我錯了。他莫名其妙地覺得我可能出事了。更糟糕的是,自從他爸爸去世后,我是他唯一的家長了。他隨后對我說,我嚇得他以為自己沒有父母了、孤身一人活在世上,語氣十分驚慌,很是受傷的樣子。不用說,我覺得這很可怕,并且發(fā)誓如果我比預(yù)想中要晚回家的話一定會向他報備。
