參考譯文
我在一個(gè)叫做埃斯特普那的社區(qū)長(zhǎng)大。當(dāng)我16歲時(shí),一天早上,爸爸告訴我,我可以開(kāi)車(chē)送他到一個(gè)叫做麥加斯的偏遠(yuǎn)小村莊,條件是我把車(chē)送到附近的一個(gè)汽修廠(chǎng)修理。我欣然接受。我把爸爸送到麥加斯,并保證下午四點(diǎn)來(lái)接他,然后就把車(chē)放到了汽修廠(chǎng)。因?yàn)檫€有幾個(gè)小時(shí)的空余時(shí)間,我就去看電影。然而,當(dāng)最后一場(chǎng)電影結(jié)束時(shí),已經(jīng)是六點(diǎn)了。我遲到了兩個(gè)小時(shí)。
我知道,假如父親發(fā)現(xiàn)我是去看電影了,他肯定會(huì)很生氣。因此我決定不對(duì)他說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà)。當(dāng)我匆匆忙忙趕到那兒時(shí),我為遲到而表示歉意,我對(duì)他說(shuō),我是盡快趕來(lái)的,但車(chē)需要大修。我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記他看我的眼神?!罢采阌X(jué)得你必須對(duì)我說(shuō)謊,對(duì)此我很失望?!彼挚戳宋乙谎郏爱?dāng)你沒(méi)有按時(shí)來(lái)接我時(shí),我就給汽修廠(chǎng)打了個(gè)電話(huà),詢(xún)問(wèn)車(chē)是否出了問(wèn)題,而他們告訴我,你還沒(méi)有來(lái)取走車(chē)”。當(dāng)我囁嚅地告訴他真正的原因時(shí),我覺(jué)得很羞愧。他認(rèn)真地聽(tīng)著,一絲悲哀的表情掠過(guò)臉龐?!拔液苌约旱臍?。我意識(shí)到我做父親做得很失敗?,F(xiàn)在,我準(zhǔn)備走回家,好好想想這些年來(lái)我哪些地方做錯(cuò)了?!薄暗前职?,那有18英里呢!”我的抗議和道歉不起作用。爸爸那一天是走回家的。我開(kāi)車(chē)跟在他后面,一路上乞求他,但他只是默不作聲地走著。
看見(jiàn)爸爸如此身心俱疲是我經(jīng)歷過(guò)的最痛苦的事情。然而,它也給我上了最成功的一課。從那以后,我再也沒(méi)有撒過(guò)謊。
