贫富有真意
荷叶/译
一天，一个富有的父亲带着儿子去乡下旅行，目的很明确，就是要向他展示一下穷人的生活状况。在一个农场上，他们与一个非常贫穷的家庭一起度过了一天一夜。返程中，父亲问：“这次旅行怎么样？”
“很好，爸爸。”
“你看到了穷人的生活了吗？”
“看到了！”
“说说你看到了什么？”
儿子回答说：“我看到咱家只有一条狗，而他家有四条。咱家的游泳池通向花园中央，而他家的溪流没有尽头。咱家的花园装有进口灯饰，而他家却拥有满天星斗。咱家的露台通到前院，而他家拥有整个地平线。”
听孩子说完，父亲哑口无言。
儿子接着说：“感谢爸爸让我看到了咱家有多穷。”
附：原文
One day a rich father took his young son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "how was the trip?" "Very good, Dad!" "Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked. "Yeah!" "And what did you learn?" The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard; they have a whole horizon." When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.
His son added, "Thanks, dad, for showing me how poor we are!" |
