Grandpa Died

爷爷去世

Edith called her husband Archie. "Daddy's dead. I was holding his hand when he died. Our son's wedding is tomorrow. What are we going to do?" she asked. "I just left the nursing home. Should we tell Earl or not? He loved Daddy so much." Archie said, "Well, your dad has been very sick. Earl knows that. So his death won't be a surprise. But the news will make everyone sad. Tomorrow should be a happy day for everyone. Maybe we should just say nothing. We can tell everyone later. No one needs to know right now. I'll talk to the funeral director. We can have the funeral next week." "But Earl will be on his honeymoon," Edith said. "He'll be gone for two weeks. He'll be hurt and angry if he misses Daddy's funeral." Archie said, "You're right. This is a difficult decision. What are we going to do?"

伊迪丝给丈夫阿奇打了电话。他问道：“爸爸去世了。他去世的时候我抓着他的手。儿子的婚礼明天进行。我们怎么办？”阿奇说：“我刚刚离开疗养院。我们是否应该告诉厄尔。他非常爱爸爸。但是你的父亲一直身患重病。这厄尔是知道的。所以，他的去世并不会引起人们的惊讶。但是这一消息会让所有人难过。对于所有人来说，明天将会是高兴的一天。或许我们应该什么都不说。之后再告诉他们。没有人需要现在就知道。我会与葬礼承办人交谈。将葬礼推迟到下周举行。”伊迪丝说：“但是厄尔将会度蜜月。他一走就是两周。如果他错过了父亲的葬礼，他将会感到伤痛的。阿奇说：“你说得对。这是一个艰难的抉择。我们该怎么办？”
