一个男孩,小学6年级的时候,考试得了第一名,老师送给他一本世界地图册,他好高兴,跑回家就开始看这本地图册。那天轮到他为家人烧洗澡水,他一边烧一边看。心想,埃及很好,有金字塔,长大以后一定要去埃及。突然,他的爸爸从浴室中冲了出来,大声地说:“你在干什么?灯都熄了!”男孩说:“我在看埃及的地图。”父亲“啪、啪”给了男孩两个耳光,然后说:“赶快生火!看什么埃及地图!”打完后,又踢了男孩一脚,表情严肃地跟他讲:“我告诉你,你这辈子不可能到那么遥远的地方!”20年后,那个男孩当了记者,成了作家,并出国到埃及考察:他坐在金字塔前面的台阶上,给爸爸写了信。爸爸收到信后对他的妈妈说:“唉,真没想到,一巴掌能把他打到埃及去。”那个男孩就是台湾的著名散文家林清玄。 A boy, when he was in grade 6 in elementary school, got the first place in the exam. The teacher gave him a world atlas. He was so happy that he began to read this atlas after he ran home. It was his turn to burn a bath for his family. He watched as he burned. I thought that Egypt is very good. There are pyramids. When you grow up, you must go to Egypt. Suddenly, his father rushed out of the bathroom and shouted, “What are you doing? The lights are off!” The boy said, “I’m looking at the map of Egypt.” The father gave him two boys. Slap in the face and say: “Have a quick fire! Look at any map of Egypt!” After kicking, he kicked the boy and said to him with a solemn expression: “I told you, you cannot go to such a distant place in your life!” Twenty years later, the boy became a reporter, became a writer, and went abroad to investigate Egypt: He sat on the steps in front of the pyramid and wrote to his father. When Dad received the letter, he said to his mother, “Oh, I never expected that a slap would hit him in Egypt.” The boy is Lin Qingxuan, Taiwan’s famous essayist.
