“Hi!”,女孩高聲打著招呼。
“Hi!”,我笑著回答。
“What’s your name?”, 女孩又高聲問道。
我笑了,說:“If you tell me your name first, I will tell you mine.”
“I am Eva!”,聲音響亮,充滿自信與自豪。
“How old are you?” 說完我的名字,我問。
“I am four!”,依舊自信與自豪。
“I am Rob! I am two!”,她的弟弟不甘落後,搶著自我介紹。做媽媽的怕我聽不清楚,微笑著重複他的話。
“Be careful of the cars, Lu! It is not safe there!” Eva 像關照她小弟弟那樣關照我。

二十幾年前,我想買瓶酒,年輕的收銀小姐說:“I am sorry, but I need to check your ID.”
幾天前,我想去租條小船,收銀的小女孩說:“If you are over fifty five, you’ll get senior discount.” 她看我有點疑惑,忙解釋說:“I am sorry I am not saying you are old, I just remind you of our policy.”
