One night, my eight-year-old son, Zakariya, and I were scanning the TV listings for something to watch。

　　一天晚上，我和我八岁的儿子扎卡里亚正在搜索电视频道列表准备找些节目来看。

　　“Oooh, there’s a beauty contest on,” I said. Zakariya asked me what a beauty contest was, and I explained that it was a contest to choose the most beautiful woman in the world。

　　“哦！正在播出选美比赛啊。”我说。扎卡里亚问我选美比赛是什么，我解释说选美比赛就是选出世界上最漂亮的女人的比赛。

　　Then my son thrilled me by asking with complete sincerity, “Why aren’t you in the contest, Mommy?You are the most beautiful woman in the world。

　　之后，儿子满面诚意地问的一个问题让我吃了一惊。“妈妈，为什么你没参加那个比赛呢？你是这个世界上最漂亮的女人”
