《The Little Boy and the Old Man 》


Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon."

Said the old man, "I do that, too."

The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants."

"I do that too," laughed the little old man.

Said the little boy, "I often cry."

The old man nodded, "So do I."

"But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems

Grown-ups don't pay attention to me."

And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.

"I know what you mean," said the little old man.


《小孩与老人 》

孩子说，“我有时会掉汤勺。”

老人说，“我也如此。”

孩子附耳悄声道，“我还会尿裤子。”

老人哈哈笑道，“我也会这样。”

孩子又说，“我时常哭。”

老人点头，“我可不也是。”

“还有更糟糕的是”孩子说，

“大人们好像从来不关注我”

老人伸出温暖而皱巴巴的老手。

“我完全明白你的意思。”
