(节选)
Outside the back gate of the cinema you simply left your bike where it was and waltzed away towards a large glass wall, without so much as a backward glance, where you peered down at the activity at the entrance to the cinema. Mummy walked over and gently pulled on your hair. You followed mummy away from the glass wall.
在电影院的后门,你把自行车一扔,自己跟没事儿人儿似的朝一个玻璃墙走去,头都不回。你透过玻璃墙仔细看着下面电影院的入口处的人。妈妈走过去轻轻拽了一下你的头发,你跟妈妈来到一边。
"Why did you stop wheeling your bike?" mummy asked in a reproachful tone. "Why are you pulling my hair?" you gave mummy a dirty look, obviously put off, instead of explaining yourself. Mummy soothed you and said, "You left your bike behind, and that shushu is not wearing a mask."
“你为什么不推自行车了?”妈妈责怪地问。你没有去解释,而是瞪了妈妈一样,很生气的样子,说,“你为什么拽我头发?”妈妈安慰你说,“你把自行车放在那儿就走了,而且你旁边那个叔叔没有戴口罩。”
In a pizza eatery, with the food having been laid out on a table, you paused, darting a furtive glance up at mummy, instead of instantly pouncing on the food as usual. Mummy had no idea what had come over you. You simply didn't look yourself with your favorite pizza winking at you.
来到吃披萨的地方,都取完餐了,你没像往常那样赶紧吃,而是停在那儿了,还偷偷瞄了妈妈一眼。妈妈也不明白你这是什么情况。你最喜欢披萨了,可现在披萨正向你招手,你的行为很反常。
"Mummy," you came out clean less than one minute later, "I will be good in the future, park my bike properly and not stand by a shushu, but you shouldn't have pulled on my hair. It hurt." It was at this moment that mummy cottoned on to the situation: just now your mind must be racing, weighing up how to word what you intended to tell her.
过了不到一分钟,终于真相大白了:“妈妈,以后我会乖,会好好放自行车,不站在叔叔旁边,但你不要拽我头发,很疼。”此时妈妈才终于明白怎么回事。刚才你的脑子一定是在急速转动,掂量着怎么跟妈妈说自己想说的。
Mummy apologized to you, and explained the reason why she pulled on your hair: you turned your back on her but that could be dangerous because first, you might be taken away by mean guys, and second, a shushu beside you was not wearing a mask.
妈妈向你道歉,解释了拉你头发的原因,那是因为你不理妈妈了,很危险,可能会有坏人把你带走,另外就是那个叔叔没带口罩。
