I looked around the crowded waiting room at the hospital and sighed. Would the doctor be able to see my eight-year-old son next? I couldn’t stop shaking as the wound in his forehead was deep.
我环顾医院拥挤的候诊室,叹了一口气。接下来医生能给我八岁的儿子看病吗?他前额的伤口很深,我忍不住发抖。
We were at the hospital because another child had thrown a rock at Luke during the break as he was running around the corner.
我们在医院是因为另一个孩子在休息时向卢克扔了一块石头,当时他正在拐角处跑。
Luke received four stitches (缝针). I fought back the urge to cry. For the next two days, his eye was swollen shut and black and blue. I felt like I’d had a mini nervous breakdown. Every time I tried to sleep or tend to do some housework, horrible thoughts crept into my mind. What if he’d lost his eye? What if he’d had brain damage? His doctor assured me he was going to be fine, but the what-ifs kept coming. Fear had taken over, and then the fear turned to anger. I was angry with the child who’d thrown the rock. I just couldn’t shake it. What was she thinking? She should have known better.
卢克缝了四针(缝针).我忍住了哭的冲动。在接下来的两天里,他的眼睛肿得合不拢嘴,又黑又蓝。我感觉自己有点神经崩溃。每当我试着睡觉或做家务时,可怕的想法就会悄悄进入我的脑海。如果他失去了眼睛怎么办?如果他有脑损伤怎么办?他的医生向我保证他会好起来的,但“如果”的声音不断传来。恐惧占据了上风,然后恐惧变成了愤怒。我对扔石头的孩子很生气。我就是摇不动。她在想什么?她应该知道得更好。
Several days later, Luke’s teacher called me that evening to see how he was feeling, telling me Katie felt terrible and heartbroken over what had happened. I asked the teacher to make Katie understand she couldn’t do that and remind her of the dangers of throwing rocks. The teacher agreed, which made me feel better.
几天后,那天晚上,卢克的老师打电话给我,想看看他的感受,告诉我凯蒂对所发生的事情感到非常难过和心碎。我请老师让凯蒂明白她不能那样做,并提醒她扔石头的危险。老师同意了,这让我感觉好多了。
I noticed that as Luke started to heal physically, I wasn’t as angry. I thought about Katie and Luke. I wanted to stand up for my son, protect him, but I didn’t want to mistreat Katie because I learned from the teacher Katie really was a nice kid and that she was just trying to remove the rock so no other children would trip on it.
