Out bicycling one day with my eight-year-old granddaughter, I got a little wistful. “In ten years,” I said, “you'll want to be with your friends and you won't go walking, biking, and swimming with me like you do now.” She shrugged. “In ten years you'll be too old to do all those things anyway.”
一天,我和八歲的孫女一起出去騎自行車,覺(jué)得有些傷感。我說(shuō):“再過(guò)十年,你就想和你的朋友一起,不會(huì)像現(xiàn)在這樣和我一起走路、騎自行車和游泳了。”她聳聳肩膀說(shuō):“不過(guò),再過(guò)十年,你太老了,也做不動(dòng)這些事情了。”
