I have a habit of grinning in doctor's office and especially if they are giving me some bad news. 我有一个坏习惯就是在医生办公室里咧嘴大笑，特别是在他们给我讲坏消息的时候。 This behavior was still acceptable when i was a child, some found it cute, some thought I was too innocent to understand. 当我还是个小孩时，这还能够接受，有的认为这有点可爱，有的认为是因为太天真没法理解。 But now as an adult it gets really embarrassing. The doctor very seriously, is trying to explain something, and here I am grinning, pursing my lips to stop me from grinning, nodding furiously to show that I totally understand and getting red thinking how stupid I must be looking to him. The doctor's sombre expressions? change very quickly to astonishment and concern. 但现在，作为一名成年人，这很尴尬。医生严肃认真的在跟我解释，而我却在笑，崛起嘴唇努力控制自己不大笑，拼命点头表示我完全理解，但是对于医生来讲我应该很愚蠢吧。医生阴沉的表情很快转变成惊讶和担心。 They almost always end up asking twice if I fully understand what they have just explained. 他们几乎都会再问一遍我是否完全理解他们刚才所解释的内容。 My paternal grandfather passed away this time last year, and recently my uncle called my father to tell him that the tomb will be cleaned in a ceremony, and to ask if my father will be flying back to China to attend. My father, after some thought, said that when he dies, I should bring him back to the same tomb and bury him together with my grandfather. I replied, “Okay, when do you want to go back?” |
