爸爸的生日礼物（中英对照） - 译者 小梅

原标题：Birthday Spanking

I'm nineteen years old and it's my first birthday away from home. I really miss my family ， and

strangely enough， my father's birthday tradition.

我今年十九岁，这是我第一次离家在外过生日。我好想念我的家人，很奇怪的，我想念我爸爸的生日传统。

My father is a strict disciplinarian. We were always spanked growing up ， but it wasn't a big deal

or anything. My brother and I were pretty good kids. I vaguely remember get spanked a lot when I was

really young，but I can only distinctly remember a few spankings after the age of ten.

我爸爸是个严格执行纪律的人。我们从小到大总是会被打屁股，但这并不算什么，因为我和哥哥都是乖小孩。

我模糊的记得在我比较小的时候，比较常被打，但我清楚的记得，在我十岁以后就很少被打了。

Except for the birthday spankings ， that is. Daddy started those when I was five years old. Ten

spanks for each year， delivered bare bottom across his lap with his hand. When I turned thirteen he

switched to a wooden paddle ， and that really hurt.（It was still in the bare across his lap.）

除了每年生日的打屁股！爹地从我五岁开始每年生日打我屁股，我光着屁股趴在爹地大腿，爹地用他的大手打

我的屁股，一岁打十下。我十三岁那年，他开始用木制的板子打我，这更痛了！（我还是赤裸着屁股趴在他大腿上）

My brother got them too ， just the same way. When other kids were talking excitedly about their

16th birthday my brother and I just looked at each other rather uncomfortably. We were glad to grow

older and enjoyed the new freedoms and responsibilities ， but we didn't enjoy the spanking. At least

that's what I thought then.

我哥哥也跟我一样，依着同样的方式被打屁股。当其他的小孩兴奋的提起他们十六岁的生日，我和我哥哥只有不

太自然的互看一眼……。我们很高兴长大，高兴有新的权利与责任，但我们并不喜欢要被打屁股。至少那个时候我是

这么认为。

I remember my fifteenth birthday. I wanted a party really bad and my mom said I could. I invited

over lots of my friends and a number of really cute boys I liked. It was a great party， with cake and

ice cream and since it was a Friday night everyone stayed late and we watched _Star_Wars_ on video and

pigged out. Finally at eleven o'clock everyone had to leave and parents began arriving， picking up

their kids. I remember feeling so happy as I waved good-bye and closed the door after the last guest.
