Things Have Been Okay | 一切正常

English Original

A young couple grew anxious about their four-year-old son, who had not yet spoken. They took him to specialists, but the doctors found nothing wrong.

One morning at breakfast, the boy suddenly blurted out, "Mom, the toast is burned."

"You talked! You talked!" shouted his mother. "I'm so happy! But why has it taken this long?"

"Well," said the boy, "up till now, things have been okay."


中文翻译

一对年轻夫妇为他们四岁还不会说话的儿子感到越来越焦虑。他们带他去看专家,但医生们没有发现任何问题。

一天早上吃早餐时,男孩突然脱口而出:“妈妈,面包烤焦了。”

“你说话了!你说话了!”他的母亲喊道。“我太高兴了!但为什么花了这么长时间呢?”

“嗯,”男孩说,“直到现在为止,一切都很正常。”
