It's too far(太遠(yuǎn)了)
My mother often feeds pigeons in the park near her home in Portland, Maine. One day, as she fed the growing flock surrounding her, a man came over to her.'While you're feeding perfectly good bread to the birds,'he told mother angrily, 'there are people starving in Africa.'Mother, never one to back down from a fight, looked him in the eye and said, 'I'm sorry,'but I can't throw that far!'
我母親常在緬因州波特蘭市她家附近的公園里喂鴿子。一天,正當(dāng)她喂著 身邊越聚越多的鴿群時(shí), 一個(gè)男人向她走去。"您將這么好的面包喂鳥,'他憤憤地對母親說道,"而非洲卻有人在挨餓。"我母親,一位從來也不會(huì)在斗爭中退縮的人,瞪著他說道:"很抱歉,可我沒法扔那么遠(yuǎn)!"
