083 Akimbo 叉腰

外国人讲:

Just like most of other kids,Emilia aged two didn’t like washing hands─she’s always wiping the dirt off hands on her clothes.

One day I accompanied her to have fried cicadae.Habitually she rubbed her grease fingers on her real silk short gown.I held back her from doing it:“What do you want to do?”

She was immediately on to her blame,and replied at ease:“I’m akimbo.”

1kid[kΙd]n.小孩

2dirt[dɜːt]n.污垢

3accompany[ə'kʌmpənΙ]v.陪伴

4blame[bleΙm]n.过失,过错

中国人讲:

像大多数别的小孩一样,两岁伊米莉亚不爱洗手,吃东西弄脏手,随便在身上一抹就得了。

一天我正陪她吃炸知了。她手上的油多了,便习惯地往真丝小褂子上蹭,我阻止道:“你想干什么?”

她马上意识到问题所在,从容答道:“我叉腰。”
