It's too far(太远了)
My mother often feeds pigeons in the park near her home in Portland, Maine. One day, as she fed the growing flock surrounding her, a man came over to her.'While you're feeding perfectly good bread to the birds,'he told mother angrily, 'there are people starving in Africa.'Mother, never one to back down from a fight, looked him in the eye and said, 'I'm sorry,'but I can't throw that far!'
我母亲常在缅因州波特兰市她家附近的公园里喂鸽子。一天,正当她喂着 身边越聚越多的鸽群时, 一个男人向她走去。"您将这么好的面包喂鸟,'他愤愤地对母亲说道,"而非洲却有人在挨饿。"我母亲,一位从来也不会在斗争中退缩的人,瞪着他说道:"很抱歉,可我没法扔那么远!"
