6. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. (Ferris Bueller's Day Off)
6.人生太匆匆。你若不偶尔停下来看看周围,就会错过很多风景!电影《春天不是读书天》(Ferris Bueller's Day)
When I was driving my oldest son to school this morning, he made a remark about how I "always" make a big deal out of his mistakes and bad choices at school and, he feels, not enough of a big deal about the things he does well every day. He might have a point: I have high expectations, and it freaks me out a little when he strays off-path, especially now that he is getting older and the stakes are a little higher. But I do want him to break the rules sometimes. I want him to skip school every once in a blue moon, go on adventures with his friends, dance and sing Beatles songs in a parade. I admit that I can be a little uptight about school, but I want my kids to step outside the box of our days sometimes and, honestly, I need to do that more often too. Anyone know where I can find a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder?
今天早晨,我开车送大儿子去学校,他开口问我为何“总是”夸大他在学校里犯的错和做的错误的决定,而不关注他每天取得的成绩。他说对了一点:我对他的期望过高,所以他一有变坏的倾向,我就神经紧张,特别是随着他日渐长大,犯错付出的代价也将更大。但是有时候我也希望他能打破常规,活得自由自在。我希望他能难得翘一次课,和朋友去探一次险,唱着披头士(Beatles)的歌参加一次游行。我承认,我很在意他在学校的表现,但是我也希望我的孩子们偶尔能跳出常规的生活,老实说,我自己也需要摆脱束缚,释放压力。有谁知道哪能弄到辆法拉利250 GT 1961敞篷款?
