I’m your son 我当您的儿子
 
　　Shortly after our teen-age son started his first job at a family restaurant，we decided to surprise him by having dinner there one night. I was warned by other family members not to embarrass him by making it obvious I was his mother. Being an exuberant parent，I found this difficult but managed to act like other customers.I kept my head bent over the menu and politely accepted silverware and a glass of water---all without glancing up.
 
　　我们上中学的儿子开始在一家餐馆打工做招待不久，我们决定找个晚上到他打工的餐馆吃顿饭，让他大吃一惊。家里的其他人告诫我千万不要显示出我是他的妈妈，以免让他感到难为情。但是，我是个开朗的母亲，要想做到这点确实很难。但我还是装作像其他顾客一样。我低着头看着菜单，很礼貌地接过餐具和一杯水，眼睛始终没敢抬。
 
　　I realized I may have been a bit too successful in keeping my distance when my son stared pointedly at me and said，“Hello，my name is Andrew，and I'll be your son for this evening.”
