2近几年来，父亲和我都是东奔西走，家中光景是一日不如一日。他少年出外谋生，独立支持，做了许多大事。哪知老境却如此颓唐！他触目伤怀，自然请不能自已。情郁于中，自然要发之于外；家庭琐屑便往往触他之怒。他待我渐渐不同往日。但是近两年的不见，他终于忘却我的不好，只是惦记着我，惦记着我的儿子。

四、翻译下面一篇短文
我从十二岁那年起就永远离开了学校，并且找到了第一份全职工作，是在一家食品杂货店里当伙计。我整天扛很重的货物，干得倒也挺带劲。要不是能干重活，我早就给辞退了。因为老板想要我毕恭毕敬地跟着那些“上等人”说话，这样干，我实在受不了。
但是有一个礼拜二——是我歇半天班的假日——事情发展到让人难以忍受的地步。每逢礼拜二我回家的时候，我经常替老板捎一大篮子吃的东西，给他的嫂子送去。因为顺路，我也从没有说过不愿意。
可是就在这个礼拜二，我们正关店门的当儿，一批熏火腿送到店里来了。“等一会儿”老板说道，说罢便打开火腿包，拿出一只，开始剔骨头，并用绳子缚起来。
我想回家，月登月不耐烦，那里是等一会儿，一等就是半天。老板弄完了的时候都快二点半了。然后，他就拿着那只火腿走过来，放在我身边的篮子里，叫我给一个订火腿的顾客送去。这就是说我得多走一大段路才到得了家，我就仰起头来对老板说：“你知道我礼拜二是两点钟下班的吗？”我还没见过有人像他那次那么吃惊的呢。“你是什么意思？”他气喘喘地说。我对他说，我的意思是，像平常那样捎点货倒可以，那只火腿可不送。他盯着我，好像我是一条不寻常的小爬虫，然后就暴跳如雷破口大骂起来。可是我丝毫没有退步。他拿我没办法就采取了新的策略。“出去给我另找一个伙计，”他对一个店员大声喊道。
“你到底送不送？”老板转过身子，以威胁口吻问我。我把说过的话又说了一遍。“那就滚蛋，”他喊道。于是我就出来了。这是我头一次和雇主真正闹翻了脸。
