A cornucopia ofThanks
Since I became an adult,I discovered that the meaning of Thanksgiving sure isn't what it used to be.自我成年以来,我就发现感恩节的意义确实不像过去通常指的那样。
When I was younger,I remember receiving the inevitable homework aignment to write an eay on “Something I am thankful for.”
在我很小的时候,我记得常有这样的家庭作业,作业是写一篇名为“我感恩的事”。
Then,I'd spend a ton of time sitting in my room trying to figure out just what in the world that could poibly be,and I'd end up writing down everything I could think of,from God to environmental consciousne.于是,我会花大量的时间坐在房间里想出世界上可能值得感恩的事。最后,我也写下了我能想到的一切,包括从上帝到环保意识。
But after having children,my priorities have clearly changed.但是在我有了孩子之后,我优先考虑的事明显改变了。
Before children:I was thankful to have been born in the United States of America,the most powerful,free democracy in the world.在有孩子之前:我感谢出生在美利坚合众国,这是个在世界上最有力量,最自由民主的国家。After children:I am thankful for Velcro tennis shoes.在有孩子之后:我感谢有维可牢尼龙搭扣网球鞋。
As well as saving valuable time,now I can hear the sound of my son taking off his shoes--which gives me three extra seconds to activate the safety locks on the backseat windows right before he hurls them out of the car and onto the freeway.现在我能听到儿子脱鞋子的声音,并且能节省宝贵的时间。因为在他把鞋子从车内投掷出去,扔向高速公路之前,这声音给了我额外的三秒启动车辆后窗的安全锁。
