  讀故事單詞雅思詞匯-A father found

  Mark met his father for the first time at the centennial celebration of the cathedral's construction. Mark was catering for the celebrity-filled ceremony when he heard a caustic voice. There, standing only three meters away was a man with a catching young woman. He was talking on his cellular phone about delivering some certificate as soon as possible.

  "No, we need it now. How can we celebrate without the main award? Yes. I know the Bishop has been censured officially, but this event is not about him. I run the biggest cement company in Germany...no, not a ceramic company, you idiot! ... and I am the presiding president of the central committee. You get that certificate here now, or you will cease to have your job. Do you understand? Don't make this a catastrophe or I'll make your life hell!"

  Mark looked in amazement. He knew that this was his father based on what his mother had told him.But Mark knew that he should proceed with caution. His father was in a whole other category of people. Mark's mother was just a worker as was he. His father might not even remember her!

  But Mark was not so cautious. He approached the man, said who he was and waited for his father's response. His father stared in surprise and then burst out in tears. He wrapped his arms around Mark and said that he had been looking for him and his mother for years. He had even searched every census,all to no avail. Now they were reunited.

  The catching young woman smiled as well. His father introduced her and said, "This is your half sister. Welcome to a new family, young man!"

  在大教堂建成一百周年的慶?；顒由?，馬克第一次見到了他的父親。當時，馬克正在為名流云集的慶典提供食物，忽然他聽到了尖利刺人的聲音。那邊，就在離他只有三米遠的地方，站著一個男人，身邊還有個迷人的年輕女人。男人正對著蜂窩式移動電話講話，說是要盡快送個什么證書。

  “不，我們現在就要。沒有主要獎品，我們怎么慶祝”是的，我知道主教受到了官方指責，但這個活動不是為他舉辦的。我在德國經營最大的水泥公司......不，不是陶瓷制品公司，你這個白癡!......我可是中央委員會主持工作的主席。你現在就把證書給我送過來，要不你就會停職了。明白嗎?你別給我捅婁子，否則我讓你吃不了兜著走!”
