I Did a Silly Thing

A few years ago, when my family moved to this city, I became interested in soap-box race That's when Idiscoveredthat“it isfareasierto start something than it is to finish it.”

Dad bought a set of tools to make aracingcarfor me I just couldn't wait, and one day, while Dad was at work, I decided to have my car going. I looked at the drawings,and Isaid to myself,“Dude, you can do this.”I gotout Dad's toolbox, and I started building. Part A fit intoPart B Part C was a little harder to connectto Part D. It was easy to fix Part E. By the time I got to Part G. I'd made a real mess(混乱)of things. Ireally regrethavingdone such asillything.

What did I learn from this experience?Now Iknow that before I start something, I shouldknow how to finish it.

我做了一件傻事

几年前,我们搬到这座城市时,我对肥皂(soap)箱(box)赛车比赛(race)产生了兴趣。就是在那时我发现(discover)了“开始做某件事要比完成它容易地多(far easier)”(即“开始容易结束难”)的道理。爸爸买了一套工具(A setof tools)要给我做一辆赛车(racing car)。我是急不可耐,然后有一天,爸爸在上班(be at work)时,我决定让我的小车转起来。我看着图纸(drawing)。对自己说,“都德,你可以做到。”我拿出了爸爸的工具箱,接着就开始造车了。零件A适合(fit)零件B。零件C连接(connect)到零件D就有点难度。零件E很容易安装(fix)。到我开始零件G时,我已经把事情弄的一团糟。我真的后悔(regret)做了这么一件傻(silly)事。这次经历(experience)让我学到了什么呢?现在我知道了在我开始做某事之前,我应该知道该如何完成它。

A Call from the Secretary

Mr. Young was a boss, and he worked hard. Seldom did he have a vacation. His wife was afraid that he would get sick if he continued like that, so she suggested to him taking a vacation. At last Mr. Young agreed. But she was afraid that he might be disturbed by his company, so before they left, Mrs. Young went to see her husband's secretary. Mrs. Young told her,“My husband needs a vacation very much, so whatever happens; please don't disturb him with letters or telephones while were away. Just wait until we get back.”

Then on a pleasant morning, after Mr. and Mrs. Young had been away about a week, when the couple was having a picnic and eating their hamburger, Mr. Young received a phone call from his secretary, she said,“Something terrible has happened to your business, but I remember what Mrs. Young told me. so I'm not going to disturb you with it now while you're enjoying your vacation Bye-bye!”

秘书的电话

杨先生是个老板(boss)。他工作很辛苦,很少(seldom)休假(have a vacation)。杨夫人担心他这样工作下去会生病(get sick).就建议(suggest)他去休假。最后,杨先生同意了。但杨夫人担心公司(company)有可能会打扰(disturb)他,因此,在他们出发前,扬夫人去会见了他丈夫(husband)的秘书(secretary)。她对秘书说:“我丈夫非常需要休息,所以我们不在的时候,无论发生了什么事,请不要打电话或写信打扰他。一切等我们回来再说。”

于是,在一个令人愉快的(pleasant)早上,那是杨先生和夫人离开大约一周后,当这对夫妇(couple)正在野餐(picnic),吃着汉堡包(hamburger)时,杨先生接到秘书的电话,她说:“您的生意出现了严重问题。但我记得(remember)杨夫人告诉我的话,所以在您享受(enjoy)假期之时,我就不打算打搅您了,再见(Bye-bye)!”

早餐很重要

一天中最重要的一餐(meal)是早餐。人们必须吃好早餐来保持健康(keep well)。正确的饮食是良好的健康(health)所必需的(necessary).为了(in order to)保持良好的健康,你应该吃各种不同的食物。

优质的早餐应包括鸡蛋(egg)、面包(bread)、牛奶(milk)等(and so on)。每天吃早餐,你会感觉在上午的工作中充满活力(lively)。吃过营养全面的早餐后,走到外面(step out)呼吸清晨的空气,让你感觉(make you feel)美妙无比(wonderful)。

不吃早餐,孩子们就不会快速(fast)成长,上午在校时也无法学好、玩好。他们更容易生病,而且生病时,比起那些有良好健康习惯(habit)的孩子,可能要花更长的时间恢复身体(it may take them longer time toget well)。

食物为身体(body)提供能量(provideenergy)。没有食物,身体的运转(operation)就会慢下来(slowdown)。因此,要想保持健康并在每一个上午都做到最好,你必须吃早餐。
