A Fascination for Motorcycles | 迷恋摩托车

点击查看中英对照

Our son, at age five, had a fascination for motorcycles. The sight of one would always bring forth a squeal of delight, accompanied by excited remarks of "Look at that! Look at that! I'm going to have one of those someday." His dad's response always was, "Not as long as I'm alive."

One day, while our son was talking to a little friend, a motorcycle passed by. He excitedly pointed it out to the boy and exclaimed, "Look at that! Look at that! I'm getting one of those as soon as my dad dies."
