卡卡课堂 1169 愿你永远保持一颗童心
六一特别节目-孩子的选择
愿你永远保持一颗童心
马上就要到儿童节啦！
孩子的世界十分单纯，无非是吃好玩好。
说起玩，玩具就成了快乐的源泉。
今天我们分享一篇英语美文，讲述的是一个6岁小男孩在得到十美元零花钱的故事。
最后他拿着这是美元做什么了呢？
我们一起在故事中找答案把！
My husband gave my 6-year-old son a $10 bill.
丈夫把一张10美元的钞票交给了儿子。
This $10 bill went with my son everywhere, from one pair of jeans to another, one hoodie to the other.
这张钞票跟着他走到这儿走到那儿，从一条牛仔裤的口袋转移到另一条牛仔裤的口袋，从一件兜帽衫转移到另一件兜帽衫。
My son would even sleep soundly with the $10 bill under his head.
他把这张钞票放在枕头下面，似乎这样他就能睡得格外香甜。
You see, he was holding out to buy something special.
我明白，他想留着这张钞票，准备买点特别的东西。
One day my son and I went to the local grocery store where a man was singing carols and ringing a bell.
一天，我带他去附近的杂货店。我们看到一个男人，他一边唱着圣诞颂歌，一边摇着铃铛。
My son asked me "what is he doing?"
儿子问我，“他在做什么？”
I told my son "he's singing to get our attention in hopes of collecting money for the poor or for children who don't have toys."
我告诉他，“他想通过唱歌来吸引路人的注意，这样他就能为穷人，或者为没有玩具的孩子们筹集善款了。”
I proceeded to keep walking but my son wasn't next to me.
我继续向前走，儿子却不在我旁边了。
I turned around to see his little hand digging in his pocket, pulling out his $10 bill.
我转身发现他把小手伸进了口袋，拿出了那张10美元的钞票。
He slid the bill into the slot, said Merry Christmas and walked over to me.
他把钞票塞进了捐赠箱里，对那个男人说“圣诞快乐”，然后走回我身边来。
I said "you made mommy very happy."
我对他说，“你让妈妈非常开心！”
He told me "I heard a voice say go, give him the money."
他对我说，“我听到一个声音对我说，去吧，把你的钱给他。”
Then he said "I heard another voice say "no, keep the money, you want a toy."
接着他又说，“我听到另一个声音说，‘不，别给他，你不是想买个玩具的吗？’”
I told my son "you listened to the right voice……” He looked up at me with his hands in the air and asked "but who are they?"
我告诉他，“你听从了正确的声音，你做得对。”他扬起脸看着我，两手一摊，“可是，那是谁发出的声音呢？”
I laughed and said "they're you."
我笑了，对他说，“是你的心在对你说话呀！”
