英语美文：红红的小脸蛋
英语课
我主动提出照看我3岁大的女儿拉曼达，这样我的妻子就可以和她的朋友一起外出。我干我自己的活儿，拉曼达在另外的房间玩得很愉快，没问题，我这样想着。可是过了一会儿，房间就没有声音了，太安静了，我就大声喊道：“拉曼达，你在干什么呢？”没反应，我又问了一遍，听到她说：“噢，没什么。”没什么？
I had offered to watch my 3-year-old daughter, so that my wife could go out with a friend. I was getting some work done in my study while she appeared to be having a good time in the other room. No problem , I figured. But then it got a little too quiet and I shouted, “What are you doing?” No answer. I repeated my question and heard her say, “Oh,…nothing.” Nothing?
I got up from my desk and ran out into the living room, where I saw her running across the hall. I followed and watched her as her little behind(屁股)made a hard left into the bedroom.I was gaining on her!She took off for the bathroom. Bad move. I had her cornered !I told her to turn around. She refused . I pulled out my big Daddy voice， “Young lady,” I said, “turn around!”
Slowly ，she turned toward 1 me. In her hand was what was left of my wife’s new lipstick 2, and every square inch of her face was covered with bright red! As she looked up at me with fearful 3 eyes, I heard every voice that had been shouted to me as a child: How could you…You should know…How many times have you been told …What a bad thing to do …It was just a matter of my picking out which old messages I was going to use on her so that she would know what a bad girl she had been. But before I could let loose, I looked down at the sweater on her. In big letters it said ,“I’m A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL 4(天使)！”I looked back up into her eyes and , instead of seeing a bad girl who didn’t listen ,I saw a little angel full of value that I had come dangerously close to shaming out of her.
“My dear, let’s take a picture so that Mummy can see how special you look.” I took the picture and thanked God that I didn’t miss chance to prove what a perfect little angel he had given me.
亲爱的，你看上去很漂亮，我们拍张照片，让你妈妈看看你特别的小脸蛋。我拍了张照片，并感谢上帝我把握住这次机会，有一次确认他赐予我一个完美的小天使。
