Today is his daughter's birthday. Kwesi gets up early. He wants to make pancakes for her breakfast.
今天是女儿的生日。夸西起得很早。他想给她做煎饼当早餐。
He has flour, eggs, and milk. He mixes everything in a big bowl. The pan on the stove is hot. He pours a round shape into the pan and waits.
他有面粉、鸡蛋和牛奶。他把所有东西在一个大碗里拌匀。炉子上的平底锅很热。他往锅里倒出一个圆圆的形状，然后等着。
His daughter comes into the kitchen in her pajamas. "Dad, it smells good!" she says.
他的女儿穿着睡衣走进厨房。“爸爸，真香啊！”她说。
"Happy birthday!" Kwesi says. "Watch this. I flip the pancake like a chef."
“生日快乐！”夸西说。“看好了。我要像大厨一样把煎饼翻个面。”
He shakes the pan and throws the pancake up. It goes up, up, up. It does not come down.
他晃了晃平底锅，把煎饼抛向空中。它上去了，上去了，上去了。它没有掉下来。
They look at the roof. The pancake sticks to the kitchen lamp. It hangs there like a hat.
他们抬头看天花板。煎饼粘在了厨房的灯上。它挂在那里，像一顶帽子。
His daughter laughs and laughs. "Dad, the lamp has a pancake hat!"
女儿笑个不停。“爸爸，灯戴上煎饼帽子啦！”
Kwesi laughs too. He gets a chair and a spoon. He takes it down and puts it in the bin.
夸西也笑了。他拿来一把椅子和一把勺子。他把煎饼取下来，扔进垃圾桶。
"Let us make a new one together," he says. "You flip this time."
“我们一起再做一个吧，”他说。“这次你来翻。”
She stands next to him at the stove. He gives her the pan. She waits for the bubbles. Then she shakes the pan, and the pancake goes up.
她站在他旁边的炉子前。他把平底锅递给她。她等着冒泡。然后她晃了晃锅，煎饼飞了起来。
It turns once and lands in the pan. It is perfect.
它翻了一个面，落回锅里。完美极了。
"Again!" she shouts. Kwesi claps and puts the pancake on her plate.
“再来一次！”她喊道。夸西拍着手，把煎饼放到她的盘子里。
