We had just moved into a new school district, when brother was invited to a surprise birthday party. He didn't want to go, however, because he couldn't recall ever meeting the birthday boy.
"Ridiculous!" said my mother. "If he didn't know you, his mother wouldn't have invited you." And with that she packed him off to have a good time.
When Dave came home, Mom wanted to know how it had gone.
"Well," he said glumly1, "We got there and everyone hid behind a couch. Then, when the boy came in, we all jumped up and yelled, 'SURPISE'. And he pointed2 straight at me and shouted, 'Who is he?'"
我們剛剛搬到一個(gè)新的學(xué)區(qū)，我哥哥就被邀請(qǐng)去參加一個(gè)驚喜生日聚會(huì)。他不想去，因?yàn)樗麩o(wú)論如何也想不起曾見(jiàn)過(guò)那個(gè)過(guò)生日的男孩。
“莫名其妙！”媽媽說(shuō)：“如果他不認(rèn)識(shí)你，他媽媽是不會(huì)來(lái)要邀請(qǐng)你的。”說(shuō)著，媽媽就把他送出了門(mén)。
大衛(wèi)回到家后，媽媽很想知道聚會(huì)開(kāi)得怎樣。
“怎么說(shuō)呢？”他無(wú)精打采地說(shuō)：“我們到會(huì)后，大家都藏在一個(gè)沙發(fā)的后邊，等到過(guò)生日的男孩一進(jìn)屋，我們就跳起來(lái)喊：“給你一個(gè)驚喜喲！”這時(shí)，他朝直地指著我問(wèn)：“他是誰(shuí)？”
