Unit 10 Just Average
第10單元 普普通通
In my third year of school, something happened and my attitude about working hard changed. I'm not sure what it was, but something encouraged me to study a little harder for this one particular test we were going to have at school.
我在三年級(jí)時(shí)發(fā)生了一件事，改變了我對(duì)努力認(rèn)真的態(tài)度，我不確定是什么事，不過(guò)那件事鼓勵(lì)我對(duì)學(xué)校即將展開(kāi)的小考，再多用功點(diǎn)。
In my whole life, I was always just an average student. My parents seemed to think I could do better and reminded me of this all the time. In many ways, their nagging made it so I didn't want to study or work hard. Of course this caused problems when it came to getting grades back.
我從小到大一直都是個(gè)普通的學(xué)生，我父母似乎認(rèn)為我可以做得更好，因此經(jīng)常提醒我這點(diǎn)，他們大事小事都要嘮叨，使得我更不想要用功念書(shū)，當(dāng)然啰，每次拿成績(jī)單回家，免不了又會(huì)有問(wèn)題。
Well, like I said there was this one test. Four days I prepared for it! On the day of the test I remember feeling very confident and found the tast fairly easy to write.
不過(guò)這次小考，我花了四天準(zhǔn)備！考試當(dāng)天，我記得感覺(jué)非常有自信，而且發(fā)現(xiàn)考試很簡(jiǎn)單。
The following day we got our test scores back. I had the top grade! Needless to say, my parents were very happy with me. More important though, I realized that I could be more than just average. A lesson I learned by proving to myself, not because someone else told me.
隔天我拿到考試分?jǐn)?shù)，我考滿(mǎn)分！不用說(shuō)我父母也很滿(mǎn)意我的表現(xiàn)，不過(guò)重要的是，我了解到我可以不只是普普通通，并沒(méi)有人告訴我這一點(diǎn)，而是我向自己證明了這一點(diǎn)。
