Concussion | 脑震荡

English Original

One weekend, my friend Sally, a nurse, was babysitting her six-year-old nephew when he fell off a playground slide and hit his head.

Worried he might have a concussion, she monitored him all night. Every hour, she would gently shake him and ask, "What's your name?"

Soon, he began moaning in protest each time she entered the room.

At 5:00 A.M., Sally found something white on his forehead. Leaning close, she saw a crayon-scrawled message taped there.

It read: "My name is Daniel."


中文翻译

一个周末,我的朋友莎莉——一名护士——正在照看她六岁的侄子,这时孩子从游乐场的滑梯上摔下来,撞到了头。

担心他可能得了脑震荡,莎莉整晚都在观察他。每小时,她都会轻轻摇醒他,问:“你叫什么名字?”

很快,每次她进房间时,孩子都开始呻吟以示抗议。

凌晨五点,莎莉发现他额头上有个白色的东西。凑近一看,她发现一张用蜡笔潦草写着信息、贴在额头上的纸条。

上面写着:“我叫丹尼尔。”
