"OK, $2 an hour."
“好吧,每小时2美元。”
My little 9-year-old brain and heart nearly exploded. After all, it was 1956 and being paid $2 an hour would have made me the richest kid in the world. I couldn't imagine earning that kind of money. I wanted to say "yes." I wanted the deal. I could see a new bicycle, new baseball glove, and adoration of my friends when I flashed some cash. On top of that, Jimmy and his rich friends could never call me poor again. But somehow my mouth stayed silent.
我那9岁的大脑和心脏几乎要爆炸了。毕竟这是1956年,每小时2美元将使我成为世界上最有钱的孩子!我无法想像能挣到这么多钱。我想说“好的”,我真想达成这笔交易。我似乎看见一辆新自行车,一副新棒球手套,以及当我拿出钱时同学们羡慕的表情。最重要的是,基米和他的朋友再也不能叫我穷人了,但不知怎么我仍未开口。
Maybe my brain had overheated and blown a fuse. But deep down, I badly wanted that $2 an hour.
也许我的脑袋已经热昏了,但内心深处,我极其想要那每小时的2美元。
The ice cream had melted and was running down my hand. The ice-cream stick was empty, and under it was a sticky mess of vanilla and chocolate that ants were enjoying.
冰淇淋化了,流到了我手上。冰淇淋筒已经空了,蚂蚁正在享受着一团香精和巧克力。
