My 15-year-old son came bounding in from school and found me in bed.
"Don't you feel well, Mom?" he asked with concern.
"No, I don't," I said.
"Well, don't you worry about dinner," he reassured me. "I'll carry you down to the stove."
我十五岁的儿子放学后蹦蹦跳跳地跑回家，发现我躺在床上。
“妈妈，您不舒服吗？”他关切地问道。
“是的，不太舒服。”我说。
“别担心晚饭的事，”他安慰我说，“我可以背您下楼到炉灶那儿去。”
