瞬间秒杀听力 第609期:我的父亲

 

 My father has never done anything exciting in his life. 

He has never traveled abroad.

He has never smoked, drunk¹ wine, or gone dancing. 

He has never even gone to a movie. 

One day I asked him, 

"Don'tyou know that all work and no play makes Jack² a dull boy?" 

He said,"Well, son, it's a good thing that my name isn't Jack." 

我父亲一生中从未做过任何令人兴奋的事情。

他从未出国旅行，

从未抽过烟、喝过酒或跳过舞。

他甚至未曾去看过一场电影。

有一天我问他：“难道你不知道

只工作而不游戏使杰克无精打采吗?”

他说：“嗯，儿子，还好我的名字不是杰克。”
