A Father and His Daughter

I remember a promise that was made many years ago between a young man and his bride on their wedding day, and I remember the unspoken promise that was made between a father and his daughter.

我记得许多年前一名年轻男子与他的新娘在结婚那天许下的誓言，我记得一个父亲和他女儿之间无言的承诺。

I remembera promise that was made many years ago between a young man and his bride on their wedding day. And I remember the unspoken promise that was made between a father and his daughter. .

我想起许多年前一位年轻人和他的新娘在新婚之日所作的承诺，我也记得一位父亲和他的女儿之间未曾说出的承诺…

She was reaching toward his pocket—all of a sudden her arm was amazingly long—and the father understood that if his daughter ate this sandwich she would die.

她的手朝他的衣兜伸过去——突然，她的胳膊变长了，十分惊人——父亲明白，如果女儿吃了这块三明治，她就会死去。
