“Sorry to bother you,I began to pay attention to you on September 3rd.I just couldn’t help but want to come over and say hi.There are almost no foreign students in this school.I’m curious to cheat with you.Please don’t mistake me for a stalker.(抱歉打扰了,我从九月三号那天就开始留意你了,忍不住想过来跟你打个招呼。这间学校几乎没有国外的学生来读书,一时好奇就来跟你聊天了,请不要把我误解为跟踪狂。)”妇女说出了一口流利的英语。
“Not at all,your English is good.(完全不会,你的英语不错。)”Amelia朝妇女摆摆手并露出友好的笑容。
“Thank you,I am an English teacher.(谢谢夸奖,我是一名英语教师。)”妇女说完扭头往校门看了两眼,重新把头转回来问道:“Waiting for your child?Is he or she a first grade student?(在等孩子吗?他或者她是一年级的学生吗?)”
“Yeah,she is.What about yours?(是的,她是。你的呢?)”Amelia毫不犹豫地回答。
“He is third grade.A very naught boy.(他三年级了。是个很调皮的男孩。)”妇女回答的时候眼神里满是慈爱。
Amelia深深地看着她眼中的爱意,用严肃的语气问道:“Is it hard to be a parent?(做父母难吗?)”
“Really hard.(非常难。)”妇女一脸感慨地继续说道:“I’ve been worried about him all the time,it’s exhausted.But every time I see the smile on his face,I just feel that it is worth it.Don’t worry,you will be fine,kids are sunshine.(我一直担心他,这让我身心俱疲。但每次看到他脸上的笑容就会觉得这一切都是值得的。别担心,你会没事的,小孩子就是阳光。)”
Amelia露出嘲讽的笑容,对妇女的言辞表示不屑一顾,不过很快被她掩盖了过去,赞美道:“You really good at cheating with parents.(你真挺擅长和家长聊天。)”
“This is the qualities of being a teacher.(这是作为一个老师的素质。)”妇女笑容更灿烂了,可见这赞美对她很是受用。
