嗨，我是加拿大人 Bob。

Welcome to "Wednesdays with Bob" number 17.

歡迎來到「與 Bob 的星期三」第 17 集。

Remember, even though this isn't an English lesson, there are word-for-word English subtitles and the complete transcript below if you need it.

Today I thought I would tell you a little story about something I did when I was a kid.

今天我想跟大家講一個我小時候做過的小故事。

When I was about 10 or 11 years old, I can't remember exactly, a man came to the farm to fix one of the pieces of farm equipment for my dad.

當我大約 10 或 11 歲的時候，我記不太清楚了，一個男人來到農場為我爸爸修理一件農具。

And I'm not sure exactly what was broken, but my dad and the man who came to the farm, they worked on this piece of equipment.

我不確定到底是什麼壞了，但我爸爸和來到農場的那個人，他們在這台設備上工作。

The man had lots of tools and as he was fixing things, at a certain point, he needed his knife, and out of his pocket, he took a really nice little, what we would call a jackknife.

這個人有很多工具，當他修理東西時，在某個時刻，他需要他的刀，他從口袋裡拿出一把非常好的小刀，我們稱之為折刀。

So that's a knife with a blade that opens and closes.

這是一把帶有可打開和收起刀片的刀。

And he opened up the jackknife and he did something while he was fixing the piece of farm equipment.

他打開折刀，一邊修理農用設備，一邊做了一些事。

And then he closed it and he set it down.

然後他收起來並把它放下。

And as he continued to work on the farm equipment, he kinda kicked it a few times and it kind of moved away from him to a spot where it was close to me.

當他繼續在農場設備上工作時，他踢了它幾下，它就從他身邊移到了離我很近的地方。

And I thought it was a really cool knife.

我覺得這是一把非常酷的刀。

I thought it was really neat. I thought it was awesome.

我覺得這真的很整潔。我覺得這太棒了。

And I wanted it.

我很想要。

So I kicked it away a little bit.

所以我把它踢開了一點。

I kicked it away and I covered it up with some hay.

我把它踢開，然後用乾草蓋住它。

There was some hay on the ground and I just kinda stood there and watched while he continued fixing the farm equipment.

地上有一些乾草，我只是站在那裡看著他繼續修理農場設備。

And he kept talking with my dad and eventually it was fixed, and he cleaned up all his tools, except for the knife.

他一直和我爸爸分天，最後修好了，他清理了所有工具，除了刀。

And he put all his tools in his toolbox, and he went back to his truck, and my dad and him were just standing, talking by the truck.

他把所有的工具都放進了工具箱裡，然後回到了卡車上，我爸爸和他就站在卡車旁邊聊天。

By the way, I have never shared this before but one of the reasons I think I am good at YouTube is because I inherited from my dad the ability to talk.

順便說一句，我以前從未分享過這一點，但我認為我擅長拍 YouTube 影片的原因之一是因為我從父親那裡繼承了講話的能力。

My dad was a talker. He really liked talking to people.

我的父親是個健談的人。他真的很喜歡與人交談。

And I don't know if I've shared this before either, but my dad passed away a long time ago, when I was much younger.

我也不知道我以前是否分享過這個，但我父親很久以前就去世了，當時我還年輕。

I think I was 29 or 30 when my dad passed away.

我想我父親去世時我才 29 歲或 30 歲。

Anyways, let's get back to the story.

總之，讓我們回到這個故事。

I felt guilty.

我感到很有罪惡感。

I went back and I got the knife from under the hay, and I was gonna keep the knife.

我回去了，從乾草下面拿出了刀，我打算留下這把刀。

And I thought, "This is so cool. I've gotten this knife."

我想：「這太酷了。我要得到這把刀。」

And then I felt extremely guilty.

然後我感到非常內疚。

And I ran to the man by his truck.

我就跑向站在卡車旁的那個人。

He was standing there talking to my dad.

他站在那裡和我爸爸說話。

I ran over and I said, "You forgot your knife."

我跑過去說：「你忘記你的刀了。」

And then what happened next, I'll remember for a very long time.

接下來發生的事情，我會記得很久。

He thanked me.

他謝謝我。

He was very, very thankful.

他非常感激。

He just said, "Oh, thank you so much."

他只是說：「噢，非常感謝你。」

And he praised me for being such an honest person.

他還稱讚我是一個誠實的人。

And I still feel funny about that because the reality is that initially I wasn't an honest person.

我仍然對此感到很好笑，因為事實是，我一開始並不是一個誠實的人。

Initially, I was going to steal his knife, but I decided not to, and I ran and I gave it back to him.

最初，我打算偷他的刀，但我決定不偷，然後我跑去把刀還給了他。

So just a little story about Bob the Canadian from when he was a kid.

這是加拿大人 Bob 小時候的小故事。

Hopefully you enjoyed it and I'll see you next Wednesday with another "Wednesdays with Bob" video.

希望你喜歡它，下週三我將通過另一個「與 Bob 的星期三」影片與你見面。
