The Supermarket Mother | 超市里的“妈妈”

English Original

A young man was shopping in a supermarket when he noticed an elderly lady following him.

"Pardon me," she said. "I'm sorry if my staring has made you uncomfortable. You look just like my son, who passed away recently."

"I'm very sorry to hear that," replied the young man. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes," she replied. "As I leave, would you say 'Goodbye, Mother'? It would mean a lot to me."

"Of course," he answered.

As the woman walked away, he called out, "Goodbye, Mother!"

He then proceeded to the checkout counter, only to find his bill totaled $127. "How can that be?" he exclaimed. "I only bought a few items!"

The clerk replied, "Your mother said you'd pay for her groceries."


中文翻译

一位年轻男子正在超市购物,他注意到一位老太太一直跟着他。

“打扰一下,”她说。“如果我盯着你看让你不舒服了,我很抱歉。你长得非常像我最近去世的儿子。”

“听到这个消息我很难过,”年轻人回答。“有什么我能为您做的吗?”

“有的,”她说。“我离开的时候,你能说一声‘再见,妈妈’吗?这对我意义重大。”

“当然可以,”他答道。

当老太太离开时,他喊道:“再见,妈妈!”

随后,他走到收银台结账,却发现账单总额高达127美元。“怎么会这样?”他惊呼。“我只买了几样东西!”

收银员回答说:“您母亲说您会替她付账。”
