But the teacher cried 可是老師哭了
The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled. His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum. Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.
六歲的約翰嬌生慣養。他的父親知道這一點,可他的祖父母仍然寵著他。這孩子幾乎寸步不離他的祖母。他想要什么不是哭,就是鬧。他第一天上學才離開祖母的懷抱。
When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.Was school all right? she asked, Did you get along all right? did you cry?
約翰放學了,他奶奶在門口接他并問道:學校怎么樣?你過的好嗎?哭了沒有?
Cry? John asked. No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!
哭?約翰問,不,我沒哭,可老師哭了。
知識點講解:
1.spoiled
被寵壞了,一般都有點負面的色彩,最好別用它形容你的朋友
eg:Not so much wayward as that spoiled child.
與其說是任性,倒不如說是被寵壞的孩子。
2.temper tantrum
temper:性情,脾氣;tantrum:突然爆發,在口語中也可以表示發脾氣。
eg:How can a store throw a temper tantrum?
一個商店怎么可能會發脾氣。
