I have a neighbor. He shouts at his kids a lot. He has a close friend with a little girl, Mindy. Does this guy also shout at his kids a lot? I don't know... 我有个邻居，他时常大声骂孩子。他的一个好朋友有个小女儿，叫明迪，但是我不知道那个人是否也时常大声骂孩子……
The other day, my neighbor's son Marco, 6, and Mindy, also 6, rang my door bell. "Marco threw his monster ball on your balcony 1 . We want to get it - if you won't be angry?" 前几天，我邻居6岁的儿子马尔科和同岁的明迪按响了我的门铃。“马尔科把他的怪兽球扔到你家阳台了，我们想拿回它——你不会生气吧？”
Me: Of course I won't be angry. Come in. 我：当然不会生气。请进吧。 Mindy: Are you really not angry? 明迪：你真的没有生气？ Me: No. 我：真的不会。 Mindy: When are you angry? 明迪：那你什么时候生气呀？
Me: I'm never angry with kids. 我：我从不跟孩子生气。 Mindy: Really? 明迪：真的吗？ Me: Yes. 我：真的。 Mindy: Never? 明迪：从来没有？
Me: Never. 我：从来没有。 Mindy: Not even if we do something wrong? 明迪：即使我们做错了也不生气？ Me: No. I'd probably tell you it was wrong, but I wouldn't be angry. 我：不生气。我可能会告诉你那是错的，但是我不会生气。 Mindy looked at me, then repeated: "You won't be angry with me?" 明迪看着我，然后又说了一遍：“你真的不会跟我们生气？”
Me: I will never be angry with you. 我：我永远也不会跟你们生气。
She looked at me again, for a few seconds, then flung 2 herself into my arms. 她又看了我几秒钟，然后飞扑进我的怀里。
I didn't even know her, before this. There's no saying exactly what the background is, but I found it sad. 在此之前我从未了解过她。我说不准背后的原因，但是我觉得这件事让人很难过。
