夜晚临睡前,大哥来找我:“妈妈,我腿痒。”
我问:“被蚊子咬了呀?”
闻言,先生拿来止痒药水和棉球递给大哥:“Shake it. Make sure the lid is on properly first.(摇一摇瓶子,摇之前确定一下瓶盖是扭紧的。)”
大哥摇了几下瓶子。先生帮他扭开瓶盖,拿棉球小心地从瓶口接了些药水递给大哥,示意他自己涂抹。
大哥天真地随口一问:“Where do I put it ?(我要涂在哪里?)”
先生语气平淡却又一本正经地回答:“ Behind your ears. (涂在耳朵后面。)”
大哥惊讶地瞪大眼睛反问:“Oh?! Really?(啊?!真的吗?)”
先生继续保持着自然的表情,看了我一眼,对着大哥一本正经地胡说:“What's it called in China? The conception and governor vessels, .....So when you put it behind your ears, it will run all the way down to your leg. (叫什么来着,在中国,任督二脉什么的....….所以,当你涂在耳朵后面,它就会顺着经脉流下去一直到你腿痒的位置。)
先生将沾了止痒药水的棉球分别涂在大哥的两只耳朵后面,一边涂一边问:“ So, did you feel it? (怎么样?感觉到了吗?)”
大哥难以置信地惊问:“Are you joking? 你在开玩笑吧?”
先生再也忍不住了,爆笑着回答:“ So what? You were asking advice. I gave you advice but you didn't take it.(你想怎样?你不是要我的建议吗?我给你建议,你又不信。)”
大哥一时间哭笑不得.........
