小学英语故事
My teen-
age daughter was preparing to return home after having visited her grandparents for a few weeks one summer.
Her grandfather gave her 12
post cards.
"
Here,
write us a few lines every month."
he said.
Months passed and the cards remained unused-
that is until the day this letter arrived:
"
Dear Jennifer,
Life is a series of(一系列)
stages.
As a child,
I looked forward to becoming a teenager-
that happened.
As a teen-
ager,
I looked forward to becoming a young man-
that happened.
As a young man,
I looked forward to meeting a young woman,
in love and becoming a married man-
that happened.
As a married man,
I looked forward to becoming a father-
that happened.
As a father,
I looked forward to becoming a grandfather to beautiful,
intelligent grandchildren-
that happened.
Then I looked forward to the day they would learn to write-
that hasn'
t happened yet.
Yours Sincerely"
12张卡片
一个夏天,我十多岁的女儿在她祖父母家过了几周。她准备回家时,祖父给了她12张卡片。&
ldquo;每月给我们来封短信。他说。
几个月过去了,可卡片一直放在那儿没用&
mdash;&
mdash;直到有一天来了这样一封信:
&
ldquo;亲爱的詹妮芙:
生活是一系列阶段组成的。
还是个孩子的时候,我期待着成为一个青少年&
mdash;&
mdash;我如愿以偿了。
还是个年轻人的时候,我期待着遇到一个年轻的女人,恋爱、结婚&
mdash;&
mdash;我如愿以偿了。
结了婚,我便期待着成为一个父亲&
mdash;&
mdash;我如愿以偿了。
作为父亲,我期待着成为一个祖父,有漂亮、聪明的孙儿孙女&
mdash;&
mdash;我也如愿以偿了。
接着,我期待着有一天他们能给我写信——我却还没有如愿以偿。
