頂牛的年齡
My teenage son was at the rebellious stage when a parent’s endorsement of anything is the kiss of death. So I was pleased he asked me to help him pick a shirt to wear to a party. On his bed were the choices: blue,white and beige.
我那十來歲的兒子正在愛頂牛的年齡,父母說東他偏往西。一次他要去參加一個舞會,請我?guī)退x一件襯衫。這可把我樂壞了。他床上有好幾件襯衫:藍的、白的和米色的。
"I like the blue one."I said.
“我喜歡藍的。”我說。
"What is your second choice?"
“你還喜歡哪件?”
"The white one."
“白的。”
"Thanks,"he said and put on the beige shirt.
“多謝了。”他說著便穿上了那件米色的襯衫。
