月随心动

When the Moon Follows Me

我的两个儿子在他们很小的时候就有了惊人的发现。晚上我们开着车的时候，后座上总会传来孩子们天真稚嫩的惊叹声：“嘿，瞧啊!月亮正跟着我们走呢!”我向他们解释月亮并非真的跟着我们走，却引起了一番争议。他们往往会继续观察一会儿，然后很平静地给我一个定论：

Each of my sons made the discovery early. We would be riding in the car at night, and a little voice would call out from the back seat, ＂Hey, the moon is following us!＂ I would explain that the moon was not actually gliding along with our car. There would be another period of critical observation and the final verdict, delivered more quietly this time： ＂But it really is moving. I can see it.＂
