To buy an hour from father 向爸爸买一个小时作者：SAMUEL | 主播：孟飞PhoenixA man came home from work late, tired and irritated to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.一个人工作到很晚，带着疲惫与愤怒回到家里，却发现5岁大的儿子正在门口等他。"Daddy. May l ask you a question?'爸爸，我可以问你一个问题吗?""Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.“当然，什么问题?”"Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'爸爸，你一个小时赚多少钱?""That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.“这不关你的事。怎么问这样一个问题?"父亲生气地说道。"I just want to know. Please tell me how much do you make an hour?"pleaded the little boy.“我只是想知道，请告诉我吧，你一个小时赚多少钱?"小男孩乞求地说。"lf you must know,I make $20 an hour!'真想知道就告诉你吧，我一小时赚20美元。”"Oh," the little boy replied with his head down.Looking up he said"Daddy may I please borrow $10?"“噢，”男孩说着，低下了头。接着，他抬起头来问:"爸爸，我可以借你10美元钱吗?"The father was furious "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense父亲生气了:“如果你问这个问题，只是为了借钱买无聊的玩具或其他没用的东西then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed.Think about why you are being so selfish.I work hard everyday for this childish behavior."那就赶紧回你的房间睡觉去。想想你怎么会这么自私。我每天工作这么辛苦，得到的竟是这样幼稚愚蠢的举动。The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions.小男孩静静地走进自己的房间，关上了门。这个人坐下后，更加为这个男孩的问题生气了。How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so这孩子怎么敢问这样的问题，就为了借些钱呢?大约过了一个小时，the man had calmed down and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often.他才平静下来了，开始想: 也许他真的需要这10美元买什么东西呢，他并不是经常要钱花。The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.于是这个人走到小男孩的门口，打开了门。"Are you asleep son?" He asked'你睡了吗，孩子?"他问。"No daddy, I'm awake" replied the boy“没有呢，爸爸。我醒着，"男孩回答。"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man " It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.“我在想，可能刚才我对你太严厉了，” 父亲说，“经过漫长的一天，我把怒气都发到你身上了。Here's the $10 you asked for."这是你要的10美元。The little boy sat straight up, smiling."Oh thank you daddy!" He yelled.小男孩坐直了身子，笑了:“噢，谢谢爸爸!"他忍不住呼喊起来。Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.The man seeing that the boy already had money started to get angry again.接着，他伸手到枕头底下，拿出一把皱巴巴的钞票。看到男孩已经有钱了，父亲又忍不住要发火。The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.小男孩慢慢地数着钱，然后抬头看着父亲。"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.“既然你已经有钱了，为什么还要更多钱?”父亲粗鲁地抱怨说。"Because I didn't have enough but now l do"the little boy replied.“因为我的钱不够，不过现在够了，”小男孩回答，"Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."“爸爸，我现在有20美元了，我可以买你一小时的时间吗?请你明天早点下班，我想和你一起吃晚饭。"录音、剪辑、主播：孟飞Phoenix主播各平台同名：@孟飞PhoenixBGM：①방과후 - 빛바랜 사랑, 가슴 한켠②hideyuki hashimoto - mure
