听妈妈的话
Hired to perform as a magician at a churchbanquet, I closed my act by "magically" producingcandy for all of the children, and then took a seatnext to the podium to listen to a speech by theschool superintendent. It wasn't long before Inoticed a small boy in the fourth row tryingdesperately to get my attention. I pretended toignore him,but the more uninterested I appeared,the more outlandish his attention-getting anticsbecame.
在一次教堂会议上，我受雇表演魔术。我“神奇地”为孩子们变出糖果结束了表演，然后就坐在台子旁边的座位上听学校负责人讲话。不久，我注意到第四排有个小男孩拼命想引起我的注意。我假装没看见他，可是我越无动于衷，他就用越古怪的行为想引起我的注意。
By mid-speech, the superintendent was visibly annoyed. In a final effort to save his speech, heturned to me and said, "I suppose if I am ever continue you should find out what is troublingthat young man."
讲了一半，负责人显然很生气。为了能把话讲下去，他终于转向我，说道：“我想你应该去看看那个小家伙怎么了，否则我不可能继续讲话。”
Embarrassed, I went over to the child."What's wrong?" I asked.
我很是尴尬，就走过去问道：“你怎么了?”
In a loud voice, he replied, "My mom says I can't eat candy. Could you make mine a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich?"
他大声回答道：“妈妈说我不能吃糖。你能把我的糖变成花生酱和果冻三明治吗?”
