我的爸爸【会引起共鸣的】

　　My Father

　　When I was:

　　Four years old: My daddy can do anything.

　　Five years old: My daddy knows a whole lot.

　　Six years old: My dad is smarter than your dad.

　　Eight years old: My dad doesn't know exactly everything.

　　Ten years old: In the olden days, when my dad grew up, things were sure different.

　　Twelve years old: Oh, well, naturally, Dad doesn't know anything about that. He is too old to remember his childhood.

　　Fourteen years old: Don't pay any attention to my dad. He is so old-fashioned.

　　Twenty-one years old: Him? My Lord, he's hopelessly out of date.

　　Twenty-five years old: Dad knows about it, but then he should, because he has been around so long.

　　Thirty years old: Maybe we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, he's had a lot of experience.

　　Thirty-five years old: I'm not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad.

　　Forty years old: I wonder how Dad would have handled it. He was so wise.

　　Fifty years old: I'd give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him.

　　我的爸爸

　　当我四岁的时候：爸爸可以做任何事。

　　当我五岁的时候：爸爸知道的很多。

　　当我六岁的时候：我爸爸比你爸爸聪明。

　　当我八岁的时候：爸爸并不是知道每一件事。

　　当我十岁的时候：在爸爸成长的旧日里，事情和现在完全不同。

　　当我十二岁的时候：哦，很显然，爸爸对于那件事什么也不知道。他太老了，回忆不起自己的童年了。

　　当我十四岁的时候：别管我爸爸。他太守旧了。

　　当我二十一岁的时候：他？上帝，他是无可救药地过时了。

　　当我二十五岁的时候：爸爸对此了解，但是这是他应该了解的，因为他已经经历了这么多。

　　当我三十岁的时候：也许我们该问问爸爸他是怎么想的。毕竟他有很多经验。

　　当我三十五岁的时候：除非我和爸爸谈谈，否则我不能做任何事。

　　当我四十岁的时候：我想知道爸爸会怎样处理这件事。他是如此明智。

　　当我五十岁的时候：如果爸爸在这，我会把所有的东西都给他。太遗憾了，我没有意识到他是多么明智。我本能从他身上学到更多。
