43 .Rebellious Age
43.顶牛的年龄
My teenage son was at the rebellious stage when a parent’s endorsement of anything is the kiss of death. So I was pleased he asked me to help him pick a shirt to wear to a party. On his bed were the choices: blue，white and beige.
我那十来岁的儿子正在爱顶牛的年龄，父母说东他偏往西。一次他要去参加一个舞会，请我帮他选一件衬衫。这可把我乐坏了。他床上有好几件衬衫:蓝的、白的和米色的。
"I like the blue one."I said.
“我喜欢蓝的。”我说。
"What is your second choice?"
“你还喜欢哪件?”
"The white one."
“白的。”
"Thanks，"he said and put on the beige shirt.
“多谢了。”他说着便穿上了那件米色的衬衫。
