A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
夏天
Summer
I wouldn't have the life I have without television. I wouldn't be looking out my apartment window onto the East River; I wouldn't be able to afford to have my mother with me this summer. So television has been very good to me.
如果没有电视,我就不会有现在的生活。我不会从我公寓的窗户往外看,看到东河;今年夏天我没钱让妈妈陪我。所以电视对我很好。
It is a good rule never to see or talk to the man whose words have wrung your heart, or helped it, just as it is wise not to look down too closely at the luminous glow which sometimes shines on your path on a summer night, if you would not see the ugly worm below.
这是一个很好的规则永远不会看到或跟的人字已经逼迫你的心,或者帮助它,就像它是明智的,我不会过于密切有时在明亮的光线照在你的路径在一个夏天的夜晚,如果你不会看到下面的丑陋的虫子。
I didn't like books where people played on a sports team and won a bunch of games, or went to summer camp and had a wonderful time. I really liked a book where a witch might cut a child's head off or a pack of angry dogs might burst through a door and terrorize a family.
我不喜欢人们在运动队打球,赢了很多比赛,或者去夏令营玩得很开心的书。我真的很喜欢一本书,书中女巫可能会砍掉一个孩子的头,或者一群愤怒的狗可能会破门而入,恐吓一个家庭。
