Question

【题目】 When I was a little girl, my father loved to play catch (接球) with me. I wasn't very good at it, butwe would play anyway. He was always telling me "Keep your eye on the ball" as I would not be able to catch even the easiestof throws.

As I got older, we didn't play catch as much. If I had a problem and would go to my father to ask for his advice, he would try to joke with me and say "Keep your eye on the ball". We would both laugh becauseusually that advice was not useful to the problem, but he would try to make me smile.

My father became illin 1995 when I was 23. There weren't any more conversations, as he suffered from a stroke (中风). He could not speak. He could only give mouthwords, which were sometimes hard to understand. After a while, I seemed to be pretty good at reading at his lips (唇), even better than the nurseswho were caring for him there.

During one of our last conversations, I was telling him about a problem I was having with my boyfriend. Once again, I could read his lips "Keep your eye on the ball." We both smiled.

That was the last time I saw my father beforehe passed away.

All these years later, when I get in trouble, I just tell myself "Keep your eye on the ball".
