Everyone in the photo

每次全家出去玩，都是爸爸负责拍照。

Měi cì quánjiā chūqù wán, dōu shì bàba fùzé pāizhào.

Whenever the whole family goes out, Dad takes the photos.

照片里有妈妈、姐姐和我，却很少有爸爸。

Zhàopiàn li yǒu māma, jiějie hé wǒ, què hěn shǎo yǒu bàba.

Mum, my older sister and I are in the photos, but Dad hardly ever is.

这次到公园，我让大家站到花树前，自己找地方放手机。

Zhè cì dào gōngyuán, wǒ ràng dàjiā zhàn dào huāshù qián, zìjǐ zhǎo dìfang fàng shǒujī.

This time at the park, I ask everyone to stand by a flowering tree and look for somewhere to put my phone.

爸爸说：“我来吧，你也进去。”我摇头，把他拉到妈妈身边。

Bàba shuō: “Wǒ lái ba, nǐ yě jìnqu.” Wǒ yáotóu, bǎ tā lā dào māma shēnbiān.

“Let me do it. You get in too,” Dad says. I shake my head and pull him over beside Mum.

手机放在长椅上，倒计时已经开始。我跑过去，刚站好，照片就拍下来了。

Shǒujī fàng zài chángyǐ shang, dàojìshí yǐjīng kāishǐ. Wǒ pǎo guòqu, gāng zhànhǎo, zhàopiàn jiù pāixiàlai le.

The phone is on a bench and the countdown has started. I run over; just as I get into place, it takes the photo.

回家一看，我的脸有点模糊。爸爸说要重拍，我说：“不用，这次一个人也没少。”

Huí jiā yí kàn, wǒ de liǎn yǒudiǎn móhu. Bàba shuō yào chóngpāi, wǒ shuō: “Bú yòng, zhè cì yí ge rén yě méi shǎo.”

At home, we see that my face is a little blurred. Dad suggests another photo. “No need,” I say. “Nobody’s missing this time.”
