我覺得邁爾斯已經長大了。

When our daughter was born, we named her Myles after my beloved late (1) father, despite family warnings that the name was too masculine (2).
Years later, when I felt she was old enough to understand, I explained to Myles, “Your name is very special .I named you after my own father (3) because I loved him very much .I know he would be proud of you.”
Myles though carefully about this and then said, “I know all that, Mom .But I don’t understand why my grandfather had a girl’s name.”
女兒出生時，我們不顧家人提醒說“邁爾斯”這個名字太男性化了，給她取了邁爾斯，和我深愛的已故父親同名。
幾年后，我覺得邁爾斯已經長大，能夠懂事了，便對她解釋說：“你的名字很特別。我給你起了個和我爸爸同樣的名字，因為我非常愛他。我相信他會為你而深感驕傲的。”
邁爾斯認真地想了一會，然后說：“媽媽，這些我都懂，可我不明白外公怎么會有個女孩子的名字。”
