问题 All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair. Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them—a mother’s approval, a father’s nod— are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives. Through it all, despite it all, Eddie privately adored his old man, because sons will adore their fathers through even the worst behavior. It is how they learn devotion. Before he can devote himself to God or a woman, a boy will devote himself to his father, even foolishly, even beyond explanation.
选项
答案 所有的父母都会伤害自己的孩子，这是不可避免的。孩子就像洁净的玻璃杯，拿过的人会在杯子上留下手印。有些父母将杯子弄脏，有些则把它弄裂，还有少数会将孩子的童年摧毁成无法修复的碎片。父母很少会对自己的孩子放手，所以，孩子就对他们的父母放手。他们向前走，走向远方。那些曾经让他们感到自身价值的东西——母亲的赞同，父亲的点头——被他们自己取得的成绩替代。直到很久以后，他们的皮肤松垂了，心脏衰弱了，他们才会明白：他们的故事和他们所有的成就，都是基于父母的经历建立起来的，就像生命之河里的石头，层层叠叠。尽管如此，爱迪依然默默地崇拜他的父亲。因为儿子们永远崇拜他们的父亲，连其最恶劣的行为也能够容忍。他们就是这样学会献身的。一个男孩子在将自己献身给上帝或者一个女人之前会将自己献身给他的父亲，虽然愚蠢，虽然无法解释。
