小时候,我家有一套《大英百科全 书》,父亲常让我坐在他的膝上,给我读里 面的章节。有一次读到了恐龙,书里说: “恐龙的身高有7.62米,头宽1.83米。”父 亲对我说:“呀,让我们来想象一下,要是 恐龙站在门前的院子里,那么它的脑袋可 以够到二层楼的窗户却伸不进窗子,因为 那比窗户还宽昵!”我很惊讶居然会有这 么大的动物由于无人知晓的原因灭绝了。 这样我从父亲那儿学会了“翻译”--任 何东西,我都要琢磨出它们究竟在讲什 么,实际意义是什么。 When I was young, my family had an Encyclopedia Britannica, and my father often let me sit on his lap and read the chapters inside. Once read a dinosaur, the book said: “Dinosaur’s height is 7.62 meters, 1.83 meters wide head. ” My father said to me: “Yeah, let’s imagine, if the dinosaur stood in front of the yard , Then its head can reach the two-story window but can not reach the window because it is wider than the window! ”“ I was surprised that there would be such a big animal extinct because nobody knew it. So I learned ”translate " from my father - anything, I have to figure out what they are talking about, what is the actual meaning.
