I was surprised to learn that my 72-year-old mother dared to drive 900 miles in a 12-year-old car to visit me.When asked how she made out,she told me just fine...until her second night. She had filled the gas tank and didn't have the money for a motel room.
当听说我72岁的母亲居然开着12年的旧车行驶了900英里来看我时,我真有些吃惊。在我问她是如何做的时候,她告诉我她一切都好,只是到了第二天晚上,给汽车加油后却没有住旅馆的钱。
"What did you do?"I asked.
“那你怎么办了?”我问道。
" Well,"she began,“I was driving through this small town and feeling very sleepy. A policeman pulled me over and asked if I had been drinking. When I told him no,he wanted to know why I was weaving all over the road,I explained my situation,’‘Follow me,”he ordered.We then drove to a motel where the nice officer paid for my night's lodging.
她说:“嗨,我开到这个镇子时,感到很困,一位警寨叫住了我。他问我是否喝了酒,我说没喝。警察问我为什么开车在路上打晃晃。于是我解释了我的情况。他命令道:“跟我走。”就这样,我们就开到了一个汽车旅馆。警察替我付了住店费。
"As he was leaving,"Mother continued,”he turned to me and said,I Ma'am,the next time you have to visit your daughter,please take another route.'”
妈妈接着说:“他离开时,转过身,冲着我说:‘夫人,你下次要看儿女时,请走另一条路线吧!’”
