American boys and girls are not the only ones who have holidays to celebrate. But the boys and girls of other nations have many different holidays from ours, and they celebrate them in different ways. This story tells how Three Kings’ Day and Ash Wednesday are celebrated on the island of Porto Rico.
并不止美國的男孩和女孩有節(jié)日慶祝。但是其他國家的男孩和女孩與我們有許多不同的節(jié)日，他們以不同的方式慶祝節(jié)日。這個故事講述了波多黎各島如何慶祝三圣節(jié)和圣灰星期三的。
Esteban was proud of his school garden. In the Porto Rican school of San Juan each child had been awarded a garden plot, and Esteban had tended his with such care that it was trimmer and finer than any of the others. He wanted it to be like the gardens in the United States, for to her Porto Rican children the United States is a wonderland. Today Esteban was especially happy because a friend of his teacher’s from the United States had come to visit the school.
埃斯特班為他的校園花園感到自豪。在圣胡安的波爾圖里康學(xué)校，每個孩子都得到了一塊園地，埃斯特班悉心照料他的園地，園地比其他任何園地都更整潔、更精致。他希望它像美國的花園一樣，因為對她波爾圖的孩子們來說，美國是一個仙境。今天埃斯特班特別高興，因為他老師的一個朋友從美國來參觀學(xué)校。
