“Hi!”,女孩高声打着招呼。
“Hi!”,我笑着回答。
“What’s your name?”, 女孩又高声问道。
我笑了,说:“If you tell me your name first, I will tell you mine.”
“I am Eva!”,声音响亮,充满自信与自豪。
“How old are you?” 说完我的名字,我问。
“I am four!”,依旧自信与自豪。
“I am Rob! I am two!”,她的弟弟不甘落后,抢着自我介绍。做妈妈的怕我听不清楚,微笑着重复他的话。
“Be careful of the cars, Lu! It is not safe there!” Eva 像关照她小弟弟那样关照我。

二十几年前,我想买瓶酒,年轻的收银小姐说:“I am sorry, but I need to check your ID.”
几天前,我想去租条小船,收银的小女孩说:“If you are over fifty five, you’ll get senior discount.” 她看我有点疑惑,忙解释说:“I am sorry I am not saying you are old, I just remind you of our policy.”
