Who Is This
My two sisters and I were all away at various colleges at the same time. One day, after facing one crisis too many and tired of being treated like just another undergraduate, I phoned home for some consolation and understanding of my unique problems.
When my dad answered, I immediately launched into my litany of frustrations with college life. As I paused to catch my breath, he said, "O.K., honey...now, fist of all, who is this?"
【中文譯文】
哪個(gè)女兒
我和兩個(gè)妹妹同時(shí)離開(kāi)家去不同的大學(xué)讀書(shū)。經(jīng)歷了太多的危機(jī)，也厭倦了受到與其他大學(xué)生相同的對(duì)待之后，有一天我給家里打了個(gè)電話，就我獨(dú)有的問(wèn)題尋求安慰和理解。 爸爸接起電話后，我立刻開(kāi)始?xì)v數(shù)我大學(xué)生活中的挫折。當(dāng)我停下來(lái)歇口氣時(shí)，爸爸說(shuō)：“好啦，親愛(ài)的...現(xiàn)在，首先告訴我，你是我的哪一個(gè)女兒?”
