推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 2.14W 次

Children can make some pretty lofty statements and grand promises. And an 8-year-old boy who promised to get his dad his dream car was no exception — but then he actually made good on his word.
孩子們會許下重大承諾,一名8歲的男孩也不例外,曾許諾要給父親買一輛他最愛的車。然而他卻實現了自己的諾言。

A Reddit user going by the username Belairboy wrote that when he was 8 years old, he told his dad he would buy him a 1957 Chevy Bel Air on his 57th birthday.
美國社交新聞網站紅迪網上一位暱稱爲“Belairboy” 的用戶寫道,在他8歲的時候,他告訴父親要在他57歲生日那天送他一輛1957年的雪弗蘭Bel Air。

“He grew up poor in a family of [seven] children. He never thought he would be able to own his dream vehicle but would talk about it all the time,” Belairboy wrote.
“父親成長於一個有7名孩子的窮苦家庭。他總是談論他夢想的汽車,卻從沒想過自己可以擁有它。”Belairboy寫道。

Then the day came.
到了他生日的那天。

He tricked his father to look in the garage while the older man was trying to fix a cornhole board. When the dad finally looked up from his project and his son said, “happy birthday,” all the father could say in a whimpering tone was “no,” as he tearfully went in for a hug.
父親正要去修一塊沙包板,Belairboy 想方設法讓他去車庫看一眼。當父親看到那輛車時,他對父親說“生日快樂”。父親流着淚抱住他,啜泣着,除了“不”什麼也說不出來。

“Oh my, oh my. This is real. This is real,” the father said as he climbed into the driver’s seat. “You’re kidding me. This is spotless, man.”
“哦,天哪,天哪。這是真的,是真的,” 父親坐上駕駛位後說,“你在開玩笑麼,這真棒!”

Later, Belairboy revealed that he has hung onto the car for two years to make the promise come true.
後來,Belairboy 承認他兩年前就買到了這輛車,足足等了兩年讓自己的承諾變成現實。

“We would talk about older vehicles so to gauge how much he would enjoy it […] I would show him pictures of it from the listing I found, unknown to him that it would actually be his one day,” Belairboy wrote. “He would get so excited and talk about owning something like that but that he ‘knew he never would be able to,’ little did he know.“
“我們討論老爺車,來試探他到底有多喜歡那車子......我給他看我找到的目錄裏車子的照片,他根本沒想到有一天他能擁有這輛車。” Belairboy寫道,“談論着擁有這種‘他知道自己永遠無法擁有的東西’ 讓他很興奮,他對我的安排一無所知。”
