I was elated when my son called me from Japan with the wonderful news of my grandson's birth. I took down all the statistics and turned to relate it all to my co-workers. “I'm a grandmother!” I declared. “It's a baby boy, and he weighs seven pounds.” “When was he born?” someone asked. Recalling the date my son told me, I stopped, looked at the calendar and said in amazement, “Tomorrow!”
当我儿子从日本打电话来告诉我关于我的孙子出生的喜讯的时候,我非常兴奋。我把所有的数据都记下来,告诉我的同事们。我宣布说:“我当奶奶了!是个男孩,七磅重。”有人问:“他是什么时候生的?”看了一下我儿子给我的日期,我顿住了,看了看日历,用讶异的语气说:“明天!”
