A Brother Like That
哥哥的心愿
A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. Is this your car, Mister? he said.
我的朋友保罗的哥哥送他一辆新车作为圣诞礼物。圣诞节之夜,保罗离开办公室时,一个男孩绕着那辆闪闪发亮的新车,赞叹着。先生,这是你的车?
Paul nodded. My brother gave it to me for Christmas. The boy was astounded. You mean your brother gave it to you and it didnt cost you nothing? Boy, I wish... He hesitated.
保罗点点头:这是我哥哥送给我的圣诞节礼物。男孩满脸惊讶,支支吾吾地说:你是说这是你哥送的礼物,没花你一分钱?天哪,我真希望??
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.
保罗当然知道男孩希望什么。他希望能有一个那样的哥哥。但是小男孩接下来说的话却完全出乎保罗的意料。
I wish, the boy went on, that I could be a brother like that.
我希望自己就是那样的哥哥,男孩继续说。
