翻译英语短文
When I was 18, one morning, my father told me to drive him into a town, about 18 miles away. I had just learned to drive, so I agreed with pleasure. First, we came to the town. Then I took the car to a nearby garage to have it repaired and promised(答应) to pick Dad up at 4 pm. Because I had a few hours to spend, I decided to go to the cinema. However, I became so interested in the film that I forgot the time. When the last film finished, it was 6 o’clock.
I was afraid Dad would be angry and never let me drive again, so I drove back quickly to meet Dad and made an excuse for my being late. I’ll never forget the cry he gave me.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Mike. I’m angry, not with you but with myself. I have failed because I’ve brought up (抚养) a son who can’t even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about where I have gone wrong all these years.”
Dad began walking along the road. I begged(祈求)all the way, and I drove behind him for 18 miles, at a speed of 5 miles an hour. It was the most unforgetablt lesson. I have never lied to him ever since.
那是我18岁时的一个早上,我爸爸叫我开车带他去大约18英里远的镇上.那时我刚学会开车,就欣然接受了这个任务.一开始,我们直奔城里.然后我把车开去一个车库修理并和爸爸约好下午4点去接他.于是我有了几个小时的空闲,就决定去电影院转转.可是我被电影迷住了结果忘了时间.当最后一场电影结束时,已经6点了.
我很害怕爸爸会生气并且再也不让我开车,我飞速地赶去爸爸那并且为我的迟到找了一个借口.我永远也不会忘记爸爸那天对我说的话.
“我很失望你居然会对我撒谎,麦克.我很生气,不因为你,因为我自己.我很失败因为我辛辛苦苦养大的儿子居然不能对父亲说实话.我要自己走回去好好想想这些年来我做错了什么.”
爸爸沿着路边一个人走开了.我一路祈求,在他身后以每小时5英里的速度开了18英里.那是我人生中最难忘的一课.从那以后,我再没对他撒过谎.
