发人深思的一个故事——家

Springsnow

不知大家读过这个故事没有，我是第一次读，并开始思考。

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."
SON: "Oh! (With his head down).
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?"
The father was furious.
DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"

SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"

SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.

"Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love? If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

Some things are more important.

能翻译一下最好了

儿子：“爸爸，我能问您一个问题吗？”
爸爸：“当然了，什么问题？”
儿子：“爸爸，您一小时挣多少钱？”
爸爸：“这不管你的事情，你为什么问这个问题呢？”
儿子：“我想知道，请您告诉我您一小时挣多少钱？”
爸爸：“如果你必须知道，我一小时挣$100 ”
儿子：“哦”低下了头。“爸爸，您可以借给我 $50吗?”
爸爸大发雷霆。
爸爸：“如果你问这个问题的原因是去买玩具或者一些乱七八糟的东西，那么你现在赶快回到你屋子里上床睡觉。想想你为什么那么自私，我每天那么辛苦地工作换来你这么孩子气的举止。”
小男孩安静得回到自己的屋子关上了门。
男人坐下并且对小男孩的问题非常生气。他怎么敢问这种问题，其结果就是要钱？
一小时后，男人冷静下来开始考虑：也可能儿子有什么事情真正需要$ 50，他不经常要钱的。这个男人走到儿子门前打开了门。
爸爸“儿子，你睡了吗？”“我想了一下，也可能我刚才对你太粗鲁了，我今天工作很长时间，我把我的闷气朝向了你。这里是你要的 $50。”
这个小男孩站直，开始微笑。“谢谢爸爸。”

然后他奔向他的枕头，拿出一些皱巴巴的钞票。这个男人看到儿子已经有一些钱了，又开始生气。小男孩慢慢数着他的钱，然后看向他的父亲。

爸爸：“你已经有些钱了，为什么还要更多？”

儿子：“因为之前我的钱不够用，现在够了。”
爸爸，现在我有$100了，我能买您1个小时吗？明天请早些回家，我想跟您一起用晚餐。

爸爸震惊了。他用他的胳膊环绕着儿子，乞求他的原谅。
”这只是一个小小的提醒，提醒那些辛苦工作的人，我们不应该让时间从我们指缝流走，但却没有真正花费时间跟你所在乎的人呆在一起。“如果我们明天死了，我们工作的公司会很快找到替补的人来工作，但是我们的家庭和朋友却会永远想念生活里缺少的部分。
想一下，我们是不是在乎工作比家庭更多？

一些事情可能更加重要。

谁也不想做工作狂，谁都想做富二代，不用工作每天陪陪孩子喝喝咖啡逗逗宠物，工作和家庭之间，只能说尽量找一个平衡点吧。
