88. He Hates Carrots 他讨厌胡萝卜

"Eat your vegetables, Mikey," Mom said. "I am eating my vegetables," Mikey said. He was eating the sliced carrots. He was eating the sliced carrots one by one. He was eating them one at a time. He picked up one sliced carrot with his fork. He looked at it. He slowly put it in his mouth. He slowly chewed it. Finally, he swallowed it. Then he drank some water. Then he picked up another sliced carrot with his fork. Mom watched him. "Why do you hate vegetables, Mikey?" He said, "I don't hate vegetables. I hate carrots." "Why do you hate carrots?" Mom asked. "Because they don't taste good," Mikey said. "But they are good for you," Mom said. "They are good for your eyes. They help you to see well. Don't you want to see well?" "Not if I have to see carrots," Mikey said.

“吃你的蔬菜，迈克，”妈妈说。“我在吃我的蔬菜，”米奇说。他正在吃胡萝卜片。他正在一个接一个地吃胡萝卜片。他一次吃一个。他用叉子捡起一片胡萝卜，看着它。他慢慢地把它放进嘴里。他慢慢地咀嚼着。最后，他咽了下去。然后他喝了一些水。然后他用叉子拿起另一片胡萝卜片。妈妈看着他。“你为什么讨厌蔬菜，迈克？”他说：“我不讨厌蔬菜，我讨厌胡萝卜。”“你为什么讨厌胡萝卜？”妈妈问。“因为它们味道不好，”米奇说。“但它们对你有好处，”妈妈说。“它们对你的眼睛有好处。它们帮助你看得清楚。你不想看得清楚吗？”“如果我必须看胡萝卜的话，就不会，”米奇说。
