  英语阅读美文:妈妈的电话

学习啦在线学习网   清晨电话铃声响起,我在睡意蒙胧中接起电话,听到妈妈的声音:“汤米,快起床!今天要开会。”

  The phone ring sounded at cockcrow, disturbing me from my sleepy hangover with Mom’s words, “Tommy, time to get up! You’ll have a meeting today.”

  I checked it up at my wristwatch and cried with a grouch, “Didn’t tell you to call at six sharp? I do need more sleep, but now it is you who messed it up!”

  Mom remained silent for quite a while before I rang off.

学习啦在线学习网   I hurried out to catch the bus to work against a heavy rain. I stood at the bus stop with a couple of gray-haired husband and wife standing by my side when the old man grumbled to his old lady, “It is all your fault, you know, I didn’t have a good sleep the whole night. You woke me up at such an early hour and we have to wait so long!”

  Here came the bus and it was a young driver.

  我才刚上车,他就关上车门,我赶紧提醒他:“司机,后面还有两位老人,他们还没上车呀!”

  No sooner had I got onto the bus than the door was closed. At this, I gave the driver an immediate reminder, “Hi, why not let the two elderly persons get on the bus?”

  年轻人却说:“喔,没关系,那是我爸妈!今天是我第一天上班,他们专程来看我的!”

  他回头和两个老人挥了挥手,开动了车子。

  看到这幅景象,我想起妈妈早上的电话,心中愧疚油然而生。

学习啦在线学习网   It was not until I saw all this that I immediately thought of my mom’s call in early morning and a lingering sense of guilt crept over me.

  When I got back from work, I called Mom to say sorry but to my surprise, Mom said, “Hi, Honey! It is me to blame to have called you at such an early hour. As I was worried that you might be late for the meeting, I didn’t sleep well but only wanted to give you a reminder. ”
