Chinese online short story 罪恶有痕 Traces of Sin (Intermediate to Advanced) |
罪恶有痕 11 | |
庄立群心里暗暗懊悔,
忘了把小单从袋子里拿出来了. 妈妈节俭了一辈子, 最怕子女乱花钱. 送她名贵的东西都 得骗她说不贵或打折她才肯收. |
Zhuang Liqun secretly regret that he should have taken out the receipt from the shopping bag. His Mom had been living frugally in her whole life. He had to lie about the cost every time he gave an expensive gift to her. |
zhuāng lì qún xīn lĭ àn’àn àohuĭ, |
|
“妈, 那件大衣是国际品牌,
质量样式都没得说的. 你不老说冬天出门冷吗, 穿上这件保证暖和!” 没等听的人回话, 他就把妹妹拉起来, 带她去看他给她买的玩具和衣服. |
“Mom, the coat is an international brand. Quality and style are both guaranteed. Didn’t you say it’s too cold to walk outside in winter. Then wear this coat. You’ll feel really warm!” Before his Mom said anything back, Zhuang Liqun already pulled his sister to check the toys and clothes he bought for her. |
“ mā, nà jiàn dàyī shì guójì pĭnpái, zhìliàng yàngshì dōu méideshuō de. nĭ bù lăo shuō dōngtiān chūmén lěng ma, chuānshang zhè jiàn băozhèng nuănhuo!” méi děng tīng de rén huíhuà, tā jiù bă mèimei lā qilai, dài tā qù kàn tā gěi tā măi de wánjù hé yīfu. |

佳佳手舞足蹈地摆弄着她的新礼物.
而庄立群则对妈妈说, “我给佳佳爸也买了套按摩器, 放门口这了. 可以做全身按摩. 看他喜不喜欢?” |
Jiajia played with her new gifts with joy. Zhuang Liqun told his Mom, “I bought a set of massage tools for Jiajia’s Dad. It’s left near the door. It can be used to massage the whole body. See whether he likes it?” |
jiā jiā shŏuwŭzúdăo de băinòng zhe tā de xīn lĭwù.
ér zhuāng lì qún zé duì māma shuō, “ wŏ gěi jiā jiā bà yě măi le tào ànmó qì, fàng ménkŏu zhè le. kěyĭ zuò quánshēn ànmó. kàn tā xĭ bù xĭhuan?” |
|
文素云刚要开口,
佳佳的爸爸老钟推门进来了. “是立群来啦? 我说怎么那么热闹呢!” |
As soon as Wen Suyun started to talk, Jiajia’s Dad opened the door and came in. “Liqun is here? No wonder it sounds like a party!” |
wén sù yún gāng yào kāikŏu, jiā jiā de bàba lăo zhōng tuī mén jìnlái le. “ shì lì qún lái la? wŏ shuō zěnme nàme rènao ne!” |
|
老钟是个老实忠厚的药厂工人.
虽然庄立群从九岁起就跟离了婚的父亲一起生活, 但也经常来生母家帮忙. 和老钟处得挺好. 时不时还一起出去办个事什么的. |
Lao Zhong was an honest and considerate worker that worked in a medicine
factory. Although Zhuang Liqun lived with his Dad after his parent’s divorce, he used to come to Mom’s house to lend a hand. He got along with Lao Zhong very well. They even went out on errands together from time to time. |
lăo zhōng shì gè lăoshi zhōnghòu de yào chăng gōngrén.

|
“佳佳爸, 你看立群这孩子,
今天来, 买这么贵的东西!” 文素云一脸为难的样子. |
“Jiajia’s Dad, see? Liqun spent so much money on buying us gifts today!” Wen Suyun was not comfortable with that. |
“ jiā jiā bà, nĭ kàn lì qún zhè háizi, jīntiān lái, măi zhème guì de dōngxi!” wén sù yún yī liăn wéinán de yàngzi. |
|
庄立群一边帮老钟把大衣挂好,
一边笑着说, ”妈, 你就不能痛快收下吗? 我难说过段时间要去外地, 暂时来不了你们这. 就当是我的一份过年礼不行吗?” |
Zhuang Liqun helped Lao Zhong hang up his coat, and then said with a smile, ” Mom, can’t you just happily accept the gifts? You probably won’t see me in a while since I’ll be on a trip to other places. Think about them as my new year gifts for you all, OK?” |
zhuāng lì qún yībiān bāng lăo zhōng bă dàyī guàhăo,
yībiān xiào zhe shuō, ” mā, nĭ jiù bùnéng tòngkuài shōu xià ma? wŏ nán shuō guò duàn shíjiān yào qù wàidì, zànshí lái bùliăo nĭmen zhè. jiù dāng shì wŏ de yī fèn guònián lĭ bùxíng ma?” |
|
“你要出差?”老钟问. | “Will you be on business trip?” Asked Lao Zhong. |
“ nĭ yào chūchāi?” lăo zhōng wèn. | |
“是有这可能.”
庄立群应付了一句就嚷着肚子饿, 招呼大家一块儿上桌吃饭了. |
“Possibly yes.” Answered Zhuang Liqun briefly. He then went on to complain how hungry he was and called out to get dinner started. |
“ shì yŏu zhè kěnéng.” zhuāng lì qún yìngfu le yījù jiù răng zhe dùzi è, zhāohu dàjiā yīkuàir shàng zhuō chīfàn le. |
