It was a very emotional time for me—my son was about to leave for basic training. My son likes to pass himself off as a tough guy, but as we climbed into the car, he blurted out in a halting, sad voice, “I'm going to miss you.” Well, I just about lost it. The tears flowed from my eyes as I turned to say how much I was going to miss him too. That's when I saw that he was addressing a can of Pepsi he'd just opened.
這是我非常傷感的時候。我的兒子要出發(fā)去接受基本軍事訓練了。我兒子平時喜歡充硬漢子。但是當我們爬進車里去的時候,他用斷斷續(xù)續(xù)的悲哀的聲音說:“我會想你的。”我的眼淚忍不住從眼睛里流下來。我正要轉身過去對他說我也會想他的,卻看見他是對一罐打開的百事可樂說這番話的。
