A diary for my yunduo 'er
Day 1537、Feb 27、2022 (Sun)
(节选)
After dinner,licking an ice-cream and holding another,You came up to me in the bedroom where I was working . You put the other ice-cream on thethat was the sweetest the
晚饭后,我在卧室工作,你舔了一个冰淇淋,拿着另一个来到我身边。
你把一个冰激凌放在桌上。你这是给我送冰激凌来了,你真是太客气了。我说谢谢。然后你就离开了。A moment later, you came back to the bedroom, empty-handed - you’d finished off your ice-cream. You picked up my ice-cream still on the table and asked, “Do you want to eat it?” I said yes. Saying OK, you benignly handed it over to me. But it would soon turn out that you were holding in check an inward burning hankering for my ice-cream. Just seconds later you dropped the act, trying to wrench that ice-cream from my grasp. I said you’d given it to me so you shouldn’t ake it back, but you wouldn’t give up. I had to say uncle but put up a disgruntled front.
过了一会儿,你回到卧室,这回空着手;你把你自己的冰激凌已经吃完了。你拿起还放在桌子上的我的那个冰激凌说,“你想吃吗?”我说想吃,你说好吧,很和善地把冰激凌递给了我。而其实马上就要有“其实”了:其实你内心涌动着对我的冰激凌的渴望,但你却在极力克制自己。刚过了几秒钟,你装不住了,过来抢我手里的冰激凌。我说你已经给我了,不能再拿回去。可是你执意要,我只能把冰激凌给你,但装作不高兴的样子。
I opened the door and went out for a smoke. When I came back two minutes later, mummy told me that you'd asked her if "daddy was upset because I'd eaten his ice-cream". I came back to the bedroom. Soon, you caught up with me; you'd finished off my ice-cream.
我打开门出去一下。两分钟后我回来了,妈妈说你刚刚问她,是不是因为了你吃了爸爸的冰激凌所以爸爸生气了。我回到卧室。过了一会儿,你来到我旁边,此时你已经把我的那个冰激凌吃完了。
You said, "Chenlaoshi, I didn't mean to eat your ice-cream. You always don't eat it, it is melting, so I'm eating it." Suppressing a chuckle and feigning displeasure, I said, "You gave it to me. You shouldn't have taken it back. I don't like kids who don't keep promises." You cut in to continue pleasing your case while I was talking. Seeing your message not being rammed home, you turned around with a soft grunt and made towards the door, your head hung, but unexpectedly you crawled under your small bed and lay on your belly there.
你说,“陈老师,我刚才不是要吃你的冰激凌。是你总是不吃,冰激凌都化了,所以我才吃的。”我忍住没笑出来,反而装着不高兴的样子说,“你已经给我了,就不应该再要回去。我不喜欢不守信用的。”我说话时,你还打断我继续说你吃我冰激凌的理由。意识到我就是听不进你解释,你轻轻哼了一声,转身低着头朝门走去。可没想到,你爬到了自己小床下面,就在那儿趴着。
