Son: (breathing quickly) I'm back...
Mum: Look at the time! Do you remember your promise?
Son: (in a low voice) Yes, I promised to be back before 9 tonight.But...
Mum: (interrupting) A deal is a deal! The promise wasn't kept,so you can't stay out late next time.
妈妈坐在客厅里,很担心。
儿子:(呼吸急促地)我回来了 … …
妈妈:看看都几点了!你还记得你的承诺吗?
儿子:(低声地)记得,我保证过今晚 9 点前回来。但是 … …
妈妈:(打断他)一诺千金!
时钟显示晚上10点27分。

Son: Mum, please listen... I was heading back at 8:30.
Mum:Then why are you late?
Son: On my way back, I realised that my phone was at Jiacheng's house. I
had to go back to get it.
Mum: Why did it take that long to get your phone?
Son: Halfway back, I noticed an old woman under a street lamp. She was
wearing a thin blouse and it was cold. She looked pale. I asked her if
she needed help. She said she was lost.
儿子:妈妈,您听我说 … … 我 8 点半就往回走了。
儿子:回来的路上,我发现我的手机落在佳诚家了,我不得不回去拿。
妈妈:拿个手机怎么花了那么久?
儿子:走到半路,我看到路灯下有一位老奶奶。
天很冷,她却只穿了一件薄衬衫,脸色看起来很苍白。
妈妈:那为什么回来这么晚?
我问她是否需要帮助。
她说她迷路了。

Son: No! She couldn't tell me her address.
Mum:Then what did you do?
妈妈:所以你送她回家了?
儿子:没有!她没有告诉我她的地址。
妈妈:那你做了什么?
Son: I checked and saw that a yellow band was attached to her wrist. It had her information on it. But I couldn't call her family without my phone. So I gave her my jacket and took her to the nearest police station. I waited with her until she was taken home by a policewoman. After that I ran to pick up my phone and came home.

所以我把我的夹克给了她,然后带她去了最近的警察局。

Think & Share
1. What kind of person do you think the son is?
2. What advice can you give the son and his mother?
He is a kind, responsible and helpful person, but sometimes forgets to communicate with his family when he is busy helping others.
To the son: Always call or text your parents if you're going to be late, even if you're doing something good. They don't know what happens to you, so they will worry.
To the mother: Try to listen to your child's explanation first before getting angry. Good communication needs patience from both sides.
