211.What Did You Do This Summer?
211.這個暑假你做了什么？
Good morning, class! the teacher said. "Now that I have finished taking attendance, we're going to take a look at what you all did over summer vacation! Who would like to share first?"
“同學(xué)們，早上好！”老師說。“現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)點完名，接下來我們要看一看暑假期間你們都做了些什么！誰愿意第一個跟我們分享？”
Margaret raised her hand. "Our family took a trip to Europe! We went to Paris, London and even Seville! I even got to take a walk down the Champs Elysees. We took lots of pictures of our trip. We even have one picture of this beggar trying to take advantage of my mom!"
瑪格麗特舉起了手?！拔覀兗胰W洲旅游了！我們?nèi)チ税屠?、倫敦，甚塞維利亞！我還沿著香榭麗舍大街散了一次步！我們拍了許多照片。我們還拍了一張這個乞丐想騙我媽的照片！
Mrs. Williams smiled to herself!
威廉斯夫人暗自笑了！
Little Joey raised his hand. 'Umm. Mrs. Williams. Can I take a rain check on this discussion? My family doesn't have any money! So we didn't take a vacation anywhere!"
小喬伊舉手了?！班?，威廉斯夫人，我能改日參加這個討論嗎？我家一點兒錢也沒有！所以我們沒有去任何地方度假！”
No, Joey! I have taken into account the fact that we all don't come from wealthy families; so don't worry if you didn't go anywhere fantastic or expensive! Not everyone can take action at such a grand scale! Besides, nothing so extravagant can take away the value of spending time with your own family.
“不，喬伊！我已經(jīng)考慮過，我們都不是來自富有的家庭，所以沒有去過好玩的或者很花錢的地方，你也不用著急。不是每個人都能采取這么大的行動的！而且，再奢侈的享受也不能減少和家人在一起的重要性。”
That's like what we did! Davey Jones said. "Our family took advantage of the summer to go fishing in the river behind our house every day! We didn't even take along lunches because we could just go back to our house to eat! But I caught so many fish that my dad said I took after my grandfather—he was a great fisherman!"
“我家的情況就是這樣！”戴維·瓊斯說?！拔壹依檬罴倜刻於既ノ莺竺娴暮永镝烎~！我們連午飯都不用帶，因為我們可以回家吃飯！可我釣了很多魚，爸爸說我像我的爺爺——他是個了不起的漁夫！”
"Wonderful Mrs. Williams said.
“太棒了！”威廉斯夫人說。
Well, I didn't go to Europe or fishing,"" Joey said. ""I just took a nap everyday and watched my baby sister while my parents worked! That's why I'm tired right now! I think it will take a while for me to get used to being awake all day!"
“嗯，我沒去歐洲，也沒有釣魚，”喬伊說?！拔抑皇敲刻焖瘋€午覺，爸媽上班的時候，我就照看我的小妹妹！就因為這樣我現(xiàn)在有點兒累！我想我需要一段時間才能習(xí)慣白天不睡覺！”
The whole class laughed.
全班同學(xué)都笑了。
