An evening drive

精彩導(dǎo)讀

成長中的孩子難免有點(diǎn)叛逆，為人父母總是會(huì)為孩子著想，想了解孩子的所思所想，以及考慮如何與孩子相處。

She's 14 now.Everyone warned us.There will be times when she's still your little girl.And there will be other times when suddenly she becomes angry.You will wonder where everything went wrong.Everyone warned us，and we doubted them.

It is night time， and I'mpickingherup，and she is happy.Sheused tobe happy.She shows me a picture that she wants to give to a friend.She asks if it's OK.Actually，I tell her it's OK.Actually I don't know if it's OK；I'm trying hard to keep up with the rule.She is happy.

She's in a curious mood.She used to be curious all the time.“Tell me a story of when you were a little boy，” she'd say.She does not say that much now.She cries sometimes， “I don't need your help！”“Get away from me！You don't understand！”

她現(xiàn)在十四歲了。每個(gè)人都這樣警告我們。有時(shí)她還是你的乖乖女；可是有時(shí)她卻突然生氣了。你會(huì)想知道到底哪里出錯(cuò)了。每個(gè)人都這樣警告我們，我也懷疑他們。

夜深了，我去接她，她很開心。她過去總是開心的。 她給我看了一張她打算送給朋友的圖片。她問我怎么樣，我告訴她不錯(cuò)。其實(shí)，我不知道是否還好；我只是試著努力遵循這一規(guī)則：她是開心的。

她一直非常好奇，她過去一直有好奇心?！案嬖V我你小時(shí)候的故事?！彼f道。她現(xiàn)在不太這樣問了。她有時(shí)大喊：“我不需要你的幫助?！薄半x我遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn)！你不懂！”

對她而言，時(shí)間前行，并且她也想向前看——外面的世界很精彩。一年后，她將在高中上學(xué)。兩年后，她將學(xué)會(huì)開車。三年后，她將努力學(xué)習(xí)上大學(xué)。前進(jìn)！總是前進(jìn)！但是我回頭看！總是回頭看！我正在關(guān)心她，她小小的頭靠在我的肩上。并且我正在哼著歌試圖讓她入睡。我正在幫助她做數(shù)學(xué)家庭作業(yè)。我第一次和她一起看《公主新娘》。

For her， the clock moves forward， and she wants to look forward—there's so much out there.In a year，she will be in high school.In two years，she will be able to drive.In three years，she will start working hard for colleges.Forward！ Alwaysforward！ ButIlook back！ Always back！ I am caring her， her tiny head on my shoulder，and I'm singing songs trying to get her to fall asleep.I am helping her with her math homework.I am watching Me Princess Bride with herfor the first time.

“Hey， Dad，” she asks， “Can I play some music？”

“Sure”， I tell her.Then the song begins.It's her favorite song.I previously introduced her to it.She looks up at me and smiles.She's 14 now.In the coldness of the evening，she smiles at me， and holds my hand， and we sing together.

“嗨，爸爸，”她問道，“我能放一些音樂嗎？”

“可以”，我答道。然后歌曲開始了，是她最喜歡的歌曲。我之前介紹給她的。她抬頭看著我微笑。她現(xiàn)在十四歲了。在這寒冷的夜晚里，她朝著我微笑，并且握住我的手，我們一起歌唱。
