3. Your mom and dad were young and clueless and angst-ridden once, too. (Back to the Future)

3.你的爸爸媽媽也曾年少無知，焦慮不安。電影《回到未來》）（Back to the Future）

It was something of a revelation for me when I saw Michael J. Fox's Marty McFly interact with his parents as awkward teenagers in Back to the Future. As Marty observes his dad's teenage cluelessness, he says, "It's a wonder I was even born." Part of my job, I feel, is to allow my children to know that I was in their shoes once, and I still don't know everything... but I know more than they do. For now. OK, maybe not when it comes to new math, but still.

當年我觀看這部電影，看到邁克爾·J·福克斯（Michael J. Fox）扮演的馬丁·麥克弗萊（Marty McFly ）回到過去，同十幾歲時的雙親交流時，不禁有所頓悟，馬丁看到父親的窘態，忍不住說道：“他能追到我媽，我還能出生真是個奇跡?！倍易鳛橐粋€父親，我覺得，有必要讓我的孩子知道，我也曾像他們一樣經歷過種種喜樂困苦，但是我仍不能徹底頓悟……但是我還是比他們懂得多 ?，F在嘛，翻開新版課本讓我解數學題我可能做不出，但是我還是比他們懂得多。
