A Boy's Motorcycle Dream | 男孩的摩托车梦

English Original

Our five-year-old son was fascinated by motorcycles. The sight of one would always bring forth squeals of delight, accompanied by excited remarks: "Look at that! Look at that! I'm going to have one of those someday!" His dad's response was always, "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 and exclaimed, "Look at that! Look at that! I'm getting one of those as soon as my dad dies."


中文翻译

我们五岁的儿子对摩托车非常着迷。只要看见一辆摩托车,他就会高兴得哇哇大叫,并激动地说:“瞧这辆!瞧这辆!我总有一天也要有一辆!”他爸爸的回答总是:“只要我活着,你就别想有这玩艺儿。”

一天,我们的儿子正和他的小朋友说话,一辆摩托车开了过去。他兴奋地指着摩托车叫道:“瞧这辆!瞧这辆!等我爸一死,我就要有这样一辆摩托车了。”
