While in a toy store, my husband and I overheard a mother and her small daughter discussing the dolls.
在一家玩具店，我和丈夫听到一位母亲和她的小女儿在谈论洋娃娃。
“What does it do?” the child would ask about each one.
“它会做什么呀？”那个女孩子见一个问一个。
The mother would answer, “It talks,” or “It wets,” or “It cries.”
她的母亲总是回答说：“它会说话”，“它会尿床”，或者是“它会哭”。
The dolls were rather expensive, so the mother tried to direct her little girl’s interest toward an ordinary one that was more reasonably priced.
洋娃娃都相当贵，于是她的母亲想方设法将小女孩的兴趣引到一个普通的玩具娃娃上，那个玩具的价格更合理些。
“Does it do anything?” the child asked.
“它会做什么吗？”那孩子问道。
“Yes,” the mother replied. “It listens.”
“会，”那位母亲回答说，“它会听。”
The little girl reached eagerly for the doll.
那个小女孩急切地向那个玩具娃娃伸出了手。
