Father's Things 父亲的东西
When Tom Howard was seventeen years old he was as tall as his father, so he began to borrow Mr. Howard's clothes when he wanted to go out with his friends in the evening.
Mr. Howard did not like this, and he always got very angry when he found his son wearing any of his things.当汤姆.霍华德17岁时他已经和他父亲一样高了,所以他开始在晚上和他朋友出去时借霍华德先生的衣服穿。霍华德先生并不喜欢这样,而且当发现他儿子穿他的衣服是总是很生气。
One evening when Tom came downstairs to go out, his father stopped him in the hall. He looked at Tom's clothes very carefully. 一天晚上当汤姆下楼出去时,他父亲在走廊里拦住他。他很仔细的看看汤姆的衣服。
Then he said angrily, "Isn't that one of my ties, Tom?" 之后很生气的说“这不是我的领结吗,汤姆?”
"Yes, Father, it is," answered Tom.汤姆回答说“是的,父亲,这是你的”
"And that shirt's mine too." “而且那个T恤也是我的。”
"Yes, that's yours too," answered Tom. “是的,那也是你的,”汤姆回答。
"And you're wearing my belt!" said Mr. Howard. “你还带了我的腰带”霍华德先生又说。
"Yes, I am, Father," answered Tom. "You don't want your trousers to fall down, do you?" “是的,我穿了,父亲”汤姆回答说“你不想你的裤子掉下来吧,是不是?” |
