參考譯文

我在一個(gè)叫做埃斯特普那的社區(qū)長(zhǎng)大。當(dāng)我16歲時(shí)，一天早上，爸爸告訴我，我可以開(kāi)車送他到一個(gè)叫做麥加斯的偏遠(yuǎn)小村莊，條件是我把車送到附近的一個(gè)汽修廠修理。我欣然接受。我把爸爸送到麥加斯，并保證下午四點(diǎn)來(lái)接他，然后就把車放到了汽修廠。因?yàn)檫€有幾個(gè)小時(shí)的空余時(shí)間，我就去看電影。然而，當(dāng)最后一場(chǎng)電影結(jié)束時(shí)，已經(jīng)是六點(diǎn)了。我遲到了兩個(gè)小時(shí)。

我知道，假如父親發(fā)現(xiàn)我是去看電影了，他肯定會(huì)很生氣。因此我決定不對(duì)他說(shuō)實(shí)話。當(dāng)我匆匆忙忙趕到那兒時(shí)，我為遲到而表示歉意，我對(duì)他說(shuō)，我是盡快趕來(lái)的，但車需要大修。我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記他看我的眼神?！罢采阌X(jué)得你必須對(duì)我說(shuō)謊，對(duì)此我很失望?！彼挚戳宋乙谎郏爱?dāng)你沒(méi)有按時(shí)來(lái)接我時(shí)，我就給汽修廠打了個(gè)電話，詢問(wèn)車是否出了問(wèn)題，而他們告訴我，你還沒(méi)有來(lái)取走車”。當(dāng)我囁嚅地告訴他真正的原因時(shí)，我覺(jué)得很羞愧。他認(rèn)真地聽(tīng)著，一絲悲哀的表情掠過(guò)臉龐。“我很生自己的氣。我意識(shí)到我做父親做得很失敗。現(xiàn)在，我準(zhǔn)備走回家，好好想想這些年來(lái)我哪些地方做錯(cuò)了。”“但是爸爸，那有18英里呢！”我的抗議和道歉不起作用。爸爸那一天是走回家的。我開(kāi)車跟在他后面，一路上乞求他，但他只是默不作聲地走著。

看見(jiàn)爸爸如此身心俱疲是我經(jīng)歷過(guò)的最痛苦的事情。然而，它也給我上了最成功的一課。從那以后，我再也沒(méi)有撒過(guò)謊。
