He climbed out and shut the door.我们的车子偏离了乡村公路，冲进了一个雪堆。一个雪白的世界将我们包围我这边是雪堆，爸爸那边是吼叫的飞雪，密集得如同一面墙。爸爸试着发动车子，但无济于事。我们被困住了，;爸爸说，那么，谁去找奶奶的应急箱呢？;我坐着一动不动。爸爸拧了一下我的鼻子，爬出车外，关上了车门。The white wind swallowed him. I
3、 held my breath. I felt the thump of the closing trunk lid. When the door opened, Daddy handed the box to me. He sat down and tugged the door shut.风雪吞没了他的身影。我屏住了呼吸，然后听到嘭的一声是关车后盖的声音。车门翻开了，爸爸把应急箱递给我。然后他坐进车里，用力把车门关上。The next time Grandma sends a worrybox with us because of bad weather, remind me to put

6、的小姐愿意和我紧靠在一起吗？;爸爸用毛毯把我们的身子和头都包了起来。他点着了蜡烛，微弱的火光忽闪忽闪的。毛毯里暖和了一点。We need to think warm thoughts, said Daddy. How about a hot game of Go Fish ?我们得想一些暖和的点子，;爸爸说，玩个非常暖和的纸牌游戏钓鱼怎么样？;With mittens on, it was hard to hold the cards. And when you snuggle, its easy to see the other players cardseven when youre no
7、t trying to cheat.戴着连指手套很难拿得住牌，而且就算你不是有意作弊，紧靠在一起很容易就能看见对方的牌。I spread my last four cards across Daddys lap. I win!我把最后四张牌摊开放在爸爸的膝盖上。我赢喽！;We played eight more games. I let Daddy win half.我们又玩了八次。我让爸爸赢了四次。Then we sang warm songs like You Are My Sunshine. We clapped and stomped as the white wind swirled
8、.然后我们唱了几首暖暖的歌曲，比方?你是我的阳光?。窗外风雪肆虐，我们一起拍手、跺脚。When our teeth chattered , it just made the songs sound sillier. Then we were quiet for a while. Frost spread across the windows. When the wailing wind jostled the car, we snuggled tighter.我们的牙齿冷得打战，让这些歌听起来更搞笑了。然后我们安静了一会儿。车窗上结了一层白霜。寒风吼叫着向车子袭来，我们依偎得更紧了。Will

Theyll have people looking for us when the blizzard blows over.不会的，;爸爸说，奶奶知道我们是什么时候出发的，妈妈知道我们什么时候应该到家。等暴风雪一过去，她们就会叫人来找我们。;But while we wait, how about a warm-though

Hot chocolate?我想了想，说：热巧克力？;Pretty good, said Daddy. What about. a sunburn on your shoulders?很好，;爸爸说，嗯被晒
11、红的肩膀怎么样？;I said, How about . wearing your furry robe and bunny slippers?我说：穿着毛绒长袍和小兔拖鞋？;And while youre wearing your furry robe and bunny slippers, Daddy said, youre roasting hot dogs over a campfire.穿着毛绒长袍和小兔拖鞋的同时，;爸爸说，还在篝火上烤着热狗。;And the campfire is on a sunny beach in California! Top that, Daddy,
12、I said.而且篝火还是在加利福尼亚的阳光海滩上！想个更好的，爸爸，;我说。Hmmm.got it! said Daddy. The warmest thought of all time. Ready? Taking a swim in a pool of warm chicken noodle soup.
