- 聽力原文
- 參考譯文
All you remember about your child being twelve is sitting in the stands6 during baseball practice and hoping your child's team would strike out7 fast because you had more important things to do at home. The coach didn't understand how busy you were. You wished the baseball season would be over soon.
All you remember about your child being fourteen is being asked not to stop the car in front of the school in the morning. You had to drive two blocks further and unlock the doors without coming to a complete stop. You remember not getting to kiss your child goodbye or talking to him in front of his friends. You wished your child would be more mature.
All you remember about your child being sixteen is loud music and undecipherable8 lyrics9 screamed to a rhythmic beat. You wished for your child to grow up and leave home with the stereo.
All you remember about your child being eighteen is the day they were born and having all the time in the world.
And, as you walk through your quiet house, you wonder where they went and you wish your child hadn't grown up so fast.
孩子12歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是孩子在體育場打棒球練習(xí)賽時(shí)，你坐在看臺上希望你孩子所在的隊(duì)很快三擊不中出局，因?yàn)榧依镞€有更重要的事等你去做。教練不明白你為什么那么忙。你多希望棒球賽季能盡快結(jié)束。
孩子14歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是他不讓你早晨把汽車停在校門口。你不得不開過兩個(gè)街區(qū)，車還沒停穩(wěn)就趕緊打開車門。你記得沒能在他的朋友面前跟他吻別或說話。你多希望孩子能更成熟些。
孩子16歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是吵鬧的音樂和以富有節(jié)奏的拍子尖聲唱出的難以聽懂的歌詞。你多希望孩子快點(diǎn)長大成人，帶著音響離開家吧。
孩子18歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是他們出生的那一天，擁有世間所有的時(shí)光。
當(dāng)你在靜靜的房子里走來走去時(shí)，你納悶他們?nèi)ツ睦锪?mdash;—你多希望孩子別這么快就長大了。
