成年人的抉擇

　　The year before my son turned 18， he constantly pleaded to be allowed to a tattoo， but I refused to sign permission for one. He argued that soon he would be a man and he should be able to make adult decisions. Sure enough， a few days after his 18th birthday， he come home with a tattoo. Although I was not happy about this， I was curious to see what symbol of masculinity he had chosen. There， on his shoulder， was a two-inch image of Mickey Mouse.

　　成年人的抉擇

　　我兒子十八歲前的那一年，他常常向我提出準(zhǔn)許他文身。但我拒絕允許他這樣做。他爭(zhēng)辯說(shuō)他不久就要成為男子漢了，并說(shuō)他應(yīng)該能夠作出成年人的抉擇了。果然，十八歲生日的幾天后，他文了身，回到家里。盡管我對(duì)此感到不高興，但出于好奇，我想看看他選擇了什么雄性象征物。原來(lái)是他在肩上文了一個(gè)兩英寸長(zhǎng)的米老鼠像。
