My pretty girlfriend had a failed marriage in the past. After divorce, her parents shed the deepest protection and care to her by helping her attend to the child and offering financial aids. Her parents’love made her pull herself together and forgot the man who had hurt her before.
漂亮的女友有过一段失败的婚姻,离婚后,父母给了她最深的庇护。帮她带孩子,给她经济援助。双亲的关爱让她重新焕发了生活的信心。对于那个负心的人,她自是不去理会。
Nonetheless, her father, an honest and upright old man, after hearing his ex-son-in-law got promoted in his company, felt terrifically irritated and went to his company to question his boss why a philandering man with corrupt conducts could get promoted. The whole office fell into a mess immediately and many staff just watched on the sidelines. Some people even whispered lightly, “It is a new era now and the relationship between men and women is very open. No one would care about that any more!”
可是,她的
父亲,那个温和耿直的老人,却在听到昔日女婿升迁的消息后,抑制不住愤怒,跑到那人的单位质问领导,为什么一个拈花惹草、品行败坏的人会得到提拔?办公室乱作一团。那么多人冷眼旁观。有人轻声嘀咕,都什么年代了,男女关系早就放开不管了,找单位有什么用?
The old man stood silently in the office with his hands shivering and eyes tearing.
老人愣在那里,两手发抖,满眼含泪。
That night, my girlfriend cried heavily in front of me. I asked her whether it was her father’s stupid deeds that made her feel humiliated. But she said that she felt guilty for her dad and that though the rest of the whole world betrayed her, her old father would still back her up and help her get the justice she deserved, just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball, her father would get it back for her. However, this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds became funnily obsolete. No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his seemingly rude behaviors.
是夜,女友在我面前号啕。我问,是她父亲愣头愣脑处理问题的方式让她觉得丢脸吗?女友说,她只是心疼年已70的父亲。纵使世界辜负了她,年迈的父亲依然会为她讨还公道,就像年幼时,邻家的男孩抢了她的皮球一样。可这世界,已不再是父亲驰骋的疆场,他的举动变得可笑落伍。没有人看到,他看似鲁莽的行为背后隐藏的情深意长。
Now we have grown up, so much so that we could support our family and have our own children. But in our parents’ heart, they are still worried that we do not have sufficient quilts and dried vegetables. They would not feel troubled to bring all these to us regardless of long tough journey. They even would not like us to suffer a bit and try all means to protect us without caring about whether what they do is awkward and stupid or not.
