儿童小故事：戴面谱的男人（一）

（单词翻译:单击）

　　爸爸是一个美术设计师，其中一个爱好就是喜欢设计面谱。《西游记》电视剧播出的时候，他就为我设计孙悟空面谱，看完《蜘蛛侠》电影，他又为我设计蜘蛛侠的面谱。为了逗我开心，他有时甚至在进入家门之前，就已经把面谱戴上，让我以最快的速度欣赏他的杰作，结果当然是全家人都很开心，而我也以有这位艺术家爹?而自豪。　夏日的一个下午，我不用上学，正在玩电脑游戏，就听到开门的声音，我猜想爸爸或妈妈提早放工了，走到门口去接他们。　门打开了，一个未来战士的面谱映入眼帘，爸爸戴?它，看来很威武，他一只手把门带上；另一只手把一张纸掏出来，是两行打印好的字，上面写?︰「今天想实习做默剧，我不说话，让你猜我在做甚么或表达甚么。」　爸爸真有趣！　他于是走进屋子来，放下那个大公文袋，在家里走了一圈，然后就开抽屉。
　　My dad is a graphic¹ designer. One of his favourite hobbies is to design masks. When the TV series Journey to the West was on, he designed a Monkey King’s mask for me. And after we saw the film Spider-Man, he designed a Spider-Man’s mask for me. He’s a great dad. To make me laugh, he would put on the latest mask he designed before entering the house so that I could see it immediately. That often made everybody laugh, too. I am so proud of him. 　One summer afternoon, I was at home playing computer games. I heard the door opening and I guessed it must be Dad or Mom returning home early, so I went to the door. 　It opened, and the face of Future Warrior² appeared. Daddy really looked impressive³ in his mask! He closed the door with one hand, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket with the other. It was two lines printed on the computer, which said, "Let’s play mime⁴ today. I won’t speak, and you guess what I am doing or what I want to say." 　That’s fun! And I was all ready for it! 　He came into the house, put down the envelope that contained his files, walked round the house, and began opening drawers.
