1.從文章開頭我們知道，在西方國家，男孩和女孩常穿同樣的服裝，留長發(fā)，因此，
區(qū)分是男孩還是女孩是很困難的。從She is my daughter. 我們知道游泳池的另一邊應(yīng)該是個女孩。
2.從I don’t know that you are her mother. 這句話中可以得知，老人以為鄰座的是一位婦女。
3.forgive意為“原諒、寬恕”，通過上下文我們知道老人把女孩誤認(rèn)為男孩，所以
在此應(yīng)表達(dá)歉意。
4.從文中老人誤將孩子的爸爸認(rèn)作孩子的媽媽可知，在西方國家，一些男人也像女人一樣留長發(fā)。
5.通過全文的閱讀我們知道文中的老人無法辨別男女。
