業余工作
When my son was a hign-school sophomore, he got a part-time job sacking groceries at a supermarket. He came home all smiles.
我兒子在壹所中學讀二年級時，在壹家超級市場找到了壹份包裝商品的業余工作。他滿面笑容地回到了家。
"How was your first day?" I asked.
“第壹天感覺如何？”我問。
"It was great, Dad," he replied. "I got to talk to some good-looking girls."
“好極了，爸爸。”他答道，“我跟許多漂亮的女孩子講了話。”
Since Stephen is not very talkative, I asked, "What did you say to them?"
由於斯蒂芬不善言談，我問道：“妳跟他們說了些什麽？”
"Do you prefer paper or plastic?"
“妳是喜歡紙包裝還是塑料包裝？”
二、Prepare Yourself
自己做好準備</b>
A story around campus has it taht a student once sent a telegram to his parents reading: "Mom - flunked all courses. Kicked out of school. Prepare Pop."
校園裏流傳著這樣的故事：壹個學生壹次給父母拍了壹份電報，上面寫著：“媽媽－我所有功課都不及格，被學校開除。讓爸爸做好準備。”
Two days later he received a response: "Pop prepared. Prepare yourself."
兩天以後，他收到了回電：“爸爸已準備好。妳自己做好準備吧!”
