英漢幽默故事選讀【97】
The Stories Are Still in Them
During a visit to my mother' s home, I joined her in the living room to talk, read and watch television. Facing a bookcase that has been in the same spot since I was a child, I let my eyes wander over the familiar volumes, many of which now have faded covers and frayed bindings.
"These books look so sad," I remarked. "Maybe we should go through them and toss some."
My mother stood up and went over to the shelves. She took down several books, turned a few pages and replaced them. Then she returned to her chair and quietly said, 'They are just fine. The stories are still in them.

故事還在里面
我回娘家期間，我和母親一起在起居室里交談、讀書、看電視。對面是一個從我孩童時代就原地未動的書架。我的眼睛看著那些熟悉的卷冊，其中許多都已封面褪色、書脊磨破了。
“這些書看起來真慘，”我說，“或許我們應該翻檢一下，扔掉一些。”
母親站起來，走到書架處。她拿下幾本書，翻了幾頁又重新放了回去。然后她坐回到椅子上，平靜地說：“很好，故事還都在里面。”
練習參考答案：
① wander; over ② faded; frayed ③ through ④ over ⑤ down
