Tom and His Mother
湯姆和媽媽
"Mother," said little Tom, "did you tell father I wanted a new bicycle?"
“媽媽，”小湯姆說(shuō)，“你告訴爸爸我想要一輛新自行車(chē)了嗎？”
“Yes, dear,” said his mother. “I told him, but he said he couldn't afford to buy you one.”
“是呀，親愛(ài)的，”媽媽說(shuō)。“我告訴他了，可是他說(shuō)沒(méi)錢(qián)給你買(mǎi)。”
“Of course he would say that. But what did you do?”
“他當(dāng)然會(huì)那么說(shuō)。可是你怎么做的呢？”
I told him how badly you wanted it and argued in favor of it, but he refused.
我告訴他你有多么想要，并且也站在你這邊據(jù)理力爭(zhēng)了，可是他還是拒絕了。
“Argued? Ah, mother, if it had been something you wanted you would have cried a little and then you'd have got it!”
“據(jù)理力爭(zhēng)？啊！媽媽，如果是你想要什么東西，你就哭一會(huì)兒，然后你就得到了！”
