經典英語美文1

Dad's Kiss(原題 A goodbye kiss)

　　The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table,spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age." Everyone had a good laugh,and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said,"Come on,Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."

　　Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman,and he loved the sea. He had his own boat,but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family,but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home." He looked at us and said,"I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man,and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him,he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas,foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my Mother washed them,they would still smell of the sea and of fish."

　　Frank's voice dropped a bit. "When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school,I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time,he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front,and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here,I was twelve years old,and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!"

　　He paused and then went on,"I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop,he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me,but I put my hand up and said,'No,Dad.'

　　It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way,and he had this surprised look on his face. I said,'Dad,I'm too old for a goodbye kiss. I'm too old for any kind of kiss.' My Dad looked at me for the longest time,and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out the windshield. 'You're right,' he said. 'You are a big boy....a man. I won't kiss you anymore.'"

　　Frank got a funny look on his face,and the tears began to well up in his eyes,as he spoke. "It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet stayed in,but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a gale and was trying to save the nets and the floats."

　　I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. "Guys,you don't know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek....to feel his rough old face....to smell the ocean on him....to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man,I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss."

經典英語美文2

　　Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there,they serve some sort of purpose,to teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be - your roommate,neighbor,professor,long lost friend,lover or even a complete stranger who,when you lock eyes with them,you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

　　其實有(you)時候，一(yi)些人(ren)(ren)一(yi)闖入你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)的(de)(de)生活你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)便知道(dao)他(ta)們本就想這么做，其中有(you)著(zhu)一(yi)定的(de)(de)目的(de)(de)——或給你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)一(yi)個(ge)教(jiao)訓，或幫助你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)明白你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)是誰或你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)要成為誰。你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)永(yong)遠也不知道(dao)這些人(ren)(ren)會是誰，是你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)的(de)(de)舍(she)友(you)、鄰居、教(jiao)授、久(jiu)違(wei)的(de)(de)朋友(you)、愛人(ren)(ren)，甚或是一(yi)個(ge)完全的(de)(de)陌生人(ren)(ren)。當你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)與(yu)他(ta)們四目相(xiang)對，你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)便知道(dao)他(ta)們會以某種深遠的(de)(de)方式影(ying)響你(ni)(ni)(ni)(ni)的(de)(de)生活。

　　And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible,painful and unfair,but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles,you would have never realized your potential,strength,will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness,injury,love,lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity - all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests,if they be events,illnesses or relationships,life would be like a smoothly paved,straight,flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

　　也有(you)(you)時，一些(xie)事(shi)情發生(sheng)(sheng)了，它們看上去(qu)是(shi)(shi)那(nei)么可(ke)怕(pa)、痛苦和不(bu)公;但(dan)細想(xiang)一下你(ni)(ni)就(jiu)會(hui)明白，如果沒(mei)有(you)(you)去(qu)努(nu)力克(ke)服(fu)這(zhe)(zhe)些(xie)難題(ti)，你(ni)(ni)將(jiang)永遠(yuan)也不(bu)會(hui)知道自己(ji)的(de)潛能、力量、意志力和內心。任何(he)事(shi)情的(de)發生(sheng)(sheng)都(dou)是(shi)(shi)有(you)(you)原因的(de)，沒(mei)有(you)(you)一件事(shi)是(shi)(shi)偶然發生(sheng)(sheng)的(de)或(huo)是(shi)(shi)因了某種好(hao)運或(huo)厄(e)運發生(sheng)(sheng)的(de)。疾病、傷(shang)害、愛、真正(zheng)的(de)偉(wei)大的(de)消(xiao)逝和完全(quan)的(de)'愚蠢――所有(you)(you)這(zhe)(zhe)一切(qie)的(de)發生(sheng)(sheng)都(dou)是(shi)(shi)對你(ni)(ni)的(de)精神極限的(de)考驗。不(bu)管這(zhe)(zhe)考驗是(shi)(shi)一些(xie)事(shi)件、疾病或(huo)是(shi)(shi)某種關系，沒(mei)有(you)(you)了它們，生(sheng)(sheng)活都(dou)將(jiang)只(zhi)剩下陽光大道，安穩、舒適，但(dan)卻單(dan)調、沒(mei)有(you)(you)意義(yi)，不(bu)會(hui)通往(wang)任何(he)地方。

　　The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience - they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.

　　你(ni)遇到的(de)那些(xie)影(ying)響(xiang)你(ni)的(de)生活的(de)人和(he)你(ni)所經(jing)歷(li)的(de)成功或(huo)失敗(bai)，都會讓你(ni)看清自(zi)己。即使(shi)是(shi)(shi)不好的(de)經(jing)歷(li)，也(ye)能(neng)讓你(ni)從中得到教(jiao)訓(xun)。這些(xie)教(jiao)訓(xun)是(shi)(shi)最嚴酷的(de)，但也(ye)可能(neng)是(shi)(shi)最重要的(de)。

　　If someone hurts you,betrays you or breaks your heart,forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you,love them back unconditionally,not only because they love you,but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

　　即使有(you)人傷害了(le)(le)你(ni)(ni)(ni)、背叛(pan)了(le)(le)你(ni)(ni)(ni)、或(huo)讓你(ni)(ni)(ni)心碎(sui)，原諒他(ta)(ta)(ta)們(men)(men)(men)吧，因(yin)為(wei)他(ta)(ta)(ta)們(men)(men)(men)幫助你(ni)(ni)(ni)懂(dong)得了(le)(le)什么(me)(me)是信任，也(ye)讓你(ni)(ni)(ni)明白了(le)(le)對那(nei)些你(ni)(ni)(ni)敞開心扉(fei)交往的人保持謹慎的重(zhong)要性(xing)。如果有(you)人愛(ai)你(ni)(ni)(ni)，那(nei)么(me)(me)也(ye)無條件地愛(ai)他(ta)(ta)(ta)們(men)(men)(men)吧，不光因(yin)為(wei)他(ta)(ta)(ta)們(men)(men)(men)愛(ai)你(ni)(ni)(ni)，也(ye)因(yin)為(wei)他(ta)(ta)(ta)們(men)(men)(men)教會了(le)(le)你(ni)(ni)(ni)如何去(qu)愛(ai)，如何打開心扉(fei)、張開眼睛(jing)去(qu)感(gan)受那(nei)些沒有(you)他(ta)(ta)(ta)們(men)(men)(men)你(ni)(ni)(ni)便不能看到或(huo)感(gan)受到的世(shi)間的種(zhong)種(zhong)。

　　Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can,for you may never be able to experience it again.

　　就(jiu)讓每一(yi)天都過(guo)得有(you)意義吧。享受生命中的每一(yi)刻，盡(jin)你所能從中汲取，因為以后你可(ke)能沒(mei)有(you)機會再(zai)有(you)同(tong)樣經歷。

　　Talk to people you have never talked to before,and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love,break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself,for if you don't believe in yourself,no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

　　那些與你(ni)從(cong)沒打過招呼(hu)的(de)(de)(de)人互相交談聆聽吧(ba)，讓自(zi)己(ji)(ji)沐浴愛河吧(ba)，自(zi)由地沖破藩籬(li)，讓你(ni)的(de)(de)(de)眼界(jie)更(geng)加高遠吧(ba)。抬起(qi)你(ni)的(de)(de)(de)頭(tou)，因(yin)為(wei)你(ni)有權(quan)利這樣做。相信自(zi)己(ji)(ji)，告訴自(zi)己(ji)(ji)你(ni)很了不起(qi)，因(yin)為(wei)如果連你(ni)自(zi)己(ji)(ji)都不相信自(zi)己(ji)(ji)，別人又怎(zen)能相信你(ni)?你(ni)能夠按自(zi)己(ji)(ji)的(de)(de)(de)意愿生(sheng)(sheng)活(huo)。去創造出自(zi)己(ji)(ji)的(de)(de)(de)生(sheng)(sheng)活(huo)，然(ran)后走出來享受(shou)生(sheng)(sheng)活(huo)吧(ba)。

　　我的人生追求

　　Bertrand Russell羅素(su)

　　Three passions,simple but overwhelmingly strong,have governed my life: the longing for love,the search for knowledge,and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions,in a wayward course,are over a deep ocean of anguish,reaching to the very verge of despair.

　　有三種簡單然(ran)而(er)無比強烈的(de)(de)激情(qing)左右了我的(de)(de)一生;對愛的(de)(de)渴望,對知識的(de)(de)探索和對人類苦(ku)難的(de)(de)難以忍受的(de)(de)憐憫。這些(xie)激情(qing)像(xiang)颶風,反復(fu)地吹拂(fu)過深重的(de)(de)苦(ku)海,瀕于絕境。

　　I have sought love,first,because it brings ecstasy-ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all my rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it,next because it relieves loneliness-that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the co1d unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it,finally,because in the union of love I have seen,in a mystic miniature,the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought,and though it might seem too good for human life,this is what-at last-I have found.

　　我(wo)尋(xun)找愛,首先是(shi)因(yin)(yin)為(wei)它使人心醉(zui)(zui)神迷(mi)。這種陶醉(zui)(zui)是(shi)如(ru)此的(de)(de)美(mei)妙(miao)(miao),使我(wo)愿意犧(xi)牲所(suo)有(you)的(de)(de)余生去換(huan)取幾個(ge)小時(shi)這樣的(de)(de)欣喜。我(wo)尋(xun)找愛,還因(yin)(yin)為(wei)它解除孤(gu)獨(在可怕的(de)(de)孤(gu)獨中,一(yi)顆顫抖(dou)的(de)(de)靈魂從世界(jie)的(de)(de)邊緣(yuan)看到冰冷、無底(di)、死(si)寂的(de)(de)深淵。最后,我(wo)尋(xun)找愛,還因(yin)(yin)為(wei)在愛的(de)(de)交(jiao)融中,神秘而又(you)具體入微地,我(wo)看到了(le)圣賢(xian)和詩人們想(xiang)象(xiang)出的(de)(de)天堂的(de)(de)前景。這就(jiu)是(shi)我(wo)所(suo)尋(xun)找的(de)(de),而且,雖然對人生來說似乎過于(yu)美(mei)妙(miao)(miao),這也是(shi)我(wo)終于(yu)找到了(le)的(de)(de)。

　　With equa1 passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A 1ittle of this,but not much,I have achieved.

　　以同樣的激(ji)情我(wo)探索(suo)知識。我(wo)希(xi)望能夠理解人類的心靈。我(wo)希(xi)望能夠知道群(qun)星為何閃爍。我(wo)試圖領(ling)悟畢達(da)哥拉(la)斯所景(jing)仰的數字(zi)力量,它支配著此消彼長。僅(jin)在不大(da)的一定(ding)程度上,我(wo)達(da)到了此目的。

　　Love and knowledge,so far they were possible,led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine,victims tortured by oppressors,helpless old people a hated burden to their pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evi1,but I can't,and I too suffer.

　　愛(ai)和知識,只要有可(ke)能,通向著天堂。但是(shi)憐憫總把我帶回塵世。痛苦呼喊的(de)(de)'回聲(sheng)回蕩在(zai)(zai)我的(de)(de)內心。忍饑挨餓的(de)(de)孩(hai)子,慘遭壓迫者(zhe)摧殘(can)的(de)(de)受(shou)害者(zhe),被(bei)兒女們(men)視為(wei)可(ke)憎的(de)(de)負擔的(de)(de)痛苦無(wu)助的(de)(de)老人,使人類(lei)所應有的(de)(de)生活成(cheng)為(wei)了笑柄(bing)。我渴望能夠減少(shao)邪惡,但是(shi)我無(wu)能為(wei)力,而且我自己也在(zai)(zai)忍受(shou)折磨。

　　This has been my life. I have found it worth living,and wou1d gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

　　這就是我(wo)的一生。我(wo)發現它值得(de)一過。如果(guo)再(zai)(zai)給我(wo)一次機會(hui),我(wo)會(hui)很高高興地(di)再(zai)(zai)活它一次。

親愛的亞利桑那：

　　My brother is so lucky. Good stuff is always happening to him. Do you believe in luck?And if so,how can I get more of it?

　　我(wo)的(de)兄弟運氣(qi)特別好(hao)，常有好(hao)事(shi)發生在他身上(shang)。你相信(xin)運氣(qi)嗎？如果真有運氣(qi)，我(wo)怎(zen)樣才能得到(dao)更多一些(xie)呢？

　　—Looking for Luck in Louisiana

　　——身在路易斯安那尋找好運的人(ren)

　　Dear Looking,親愛的運氣尋覓者：

　　I was eating breakfast with one hand,petting my cat,Cow,with the other,and reading the back of the cereal box,when—“YOUCH!” I screamed. “Why’d you pinch me?”

　　我當時(shi)正一手(shou)(shou)吃早(zao)餐(can)，一手(shou)(shou)愛撫著我的(de)貓(mao)“牛(niu)牛(niu)”，同時(shi)在(zai)(zai)看燕(yan)麥(mai)片盒子背(bei)面的(de)信(xin)息。就在(zai)(zai)這時(shi)——“哎呦”，我尖叫(jiao)起來，“你干嘛捏我？”

　　“You’re not wearing green,” said my little brother,Tex. “Everyone knows you get pinched if you don’t wear green on Saint Patrick’s Day!”

　　“因為你沒穿綠色(se)衣服，”我(wo)的(de)小弟弟特克斯(si)說，“人人都知(zhi)道如(ru)果在圣(sheng)帕(pa)特里克節里不(bu)穿綠色(se)衣服就(jiu)會(hui)被捏！”

　　“It’s true,” said my little sister,Indi.

　　“這(zhe)是真的(de)(de)！”我的(de)(de)小妹(mei)(mei)妹(mei)(mei)英蒂(di)說。

　　I was mostly mad about getting pinched,but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patrick’s Day.

　　我對自己被掐(qia)感到非常生氣，但(dan)有一點兒值得高興(xing)的是(shi)，這(zhe)提醒了(le)我今天是(shi)圣帕特里克節。

　　I panicked. “What am I going to do?I don’t have time to change. I’ll get pinched all day long!”

　　我(wo)驚(jing)慌失(shi)措：“我(wo)該怎么辦？我(wo)沒時間換(huan)衣服了(le)。一整天我(wo)都會被人捏(nie)的(de)！”

　　“Well,” Tex said,taking the old green baseball cap off his head,“you could borrow my lucky hat.”

　　“好(hao)吧，”特(te)克斯從他頭上摘下那頂綠色的(de)舊(jiu)棒球帽(mao)，說，“你可以借(jie)我的(de)幸運帽(mao)。”

　　“But it’s your favorite!” I said.

　　“但它可(ke)是你(ni)的最愛。”我說。

　　“I know,” said Tex. “Just promise to give it back after school.”

　　我(wo)知道，”特克斯說，“只要你答應放學后還給(gei)我(wo)就行了(le)。”

　　“No problem,” I said,glancing in the mirror on my way out the door. “I look like a goofball in this thing!”

　　“沒問(wen)題(ti)，”我(wo)說。出門(men)前，我(wo)照了照鏡子。“戴上這個(ge)東西，我(wo)看上去就像個(ge)傻瓜！”

　　“A lucky goofball!” said Tex.

　　“一(yi)個幸運的傻(sha)瓜！”特克斯說。

　　“Hum.” I grabbed my backpack. “Thanks,I think.”

　　“嗯，”我抓起書包說(shuo)道(dao)，“好吧，謝謝。”

　　Now,before I go on,you should know that I’m not an overly superstitious person. I don’t believe that thirteen is an unlucky number or that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck. I definitely don’t freak out if a black cat crossees my path. And when it comes to things like lucky four-leaf clovers and lucky pennies,I just never believed in them.

　　說到(dao)這里，你要知道我(wo)不(bu)(bu)是(shi)個極其(qi)迷信的人。我(wo)不(bu)(bu)認為13是(shi)個倒(dao)霉的數字，或者打碎鏡子會帶來(lai)7年的厄運。我(wo)決不(bu)(bu)會因為一只黑貓在我(wo)面前走過而被嚇壞，也決不(bu)(bu)會相信諸如幸運四葉草(cao)、幸運便士這類東(dong)西。

　　Anyway,I was racing to catch the school bus,and I saw a dollar on the sidewalk! I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it,but people just kept stepping on the poor thing,so I decided to rescue it. I’d found pennies and nickels before,but never a dollar! Then,I didn’t miss the bus,because the bus was even later than me—which never happens!

　　不管怎樣，當(dang)我(wo)正拼命追趕(gan)校車(che) 時，我(wo)看(kan)到(dao)人(ren)行(xing)道上有(you)(you)張(zhang)一(yi)美元(yuan)的鈔票！我(wo)環顧四周，看(kan)看(kan)有(you)(you)沒(mei)(mei)人(ren)在找(zhao)它，可人(ren)們都相(xiang)繼踩過(guo)這(zhe)個可憐的家伙，所以(yi)我(wo)決定營救它。以(yi)前我(wo)撿過(guo)便士和(he)鎳幣，可從沒(mei)(mei) 發現(xian)過(guo)一(yi)美元(yuan)的鈔票。隨后，我(wo)沒(mei)(mei)有(you)(you)錯過(guo)校車(che)，因(yin)為校車(che)甚(shen)至比我(wo)還晚到(dao)——這(zhe)是從未發生過(guo)的！

　　My luck didn’t stop there. Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me,quizzing each other on spelling words. I turned around and said,“You guys know that test isn’t till tomorrow,right?”

　　我(wo)(wo)的運氣并(bing)未(wei)就此(ci)打(da)住。卡洛斯和杰克遜剛好(hao)坐在我(wo)(wo)后面(mian)，正相互(hu)考單(dan)詞拼寫。我(wo)(wo)轉過(guo)頭(tou)去(qu)，說：“你們知道明天才測驗(yan)，對嗎(ma)？”

　　“It got switched to this morning,” said Jackson. “Remember?There’s some assembly tomorrow. ”

　　“已經改到今天早上(shang)了。”杰克遜說(shuo)，“記得嗎？明(ming)天有個大會要開。”

　　“That’s right. I totally forgot!” I said. “I’m so lucky that I sat in front of you. If I hadn’t,I wouldn’t have found out till it was too late!” I got out my spelling words,studied all the way to school. And ended up acing the test!

　　“對哦。我(wo)(wo)忘得一干二凈(jing)！”我(wo)(wo)說，“坐在(zai)你們前面(mian)我(wo)(wo)多么幸運啊(a)。不(bu)然，到我(wo)(wo)發現(xian)已經(jing)晚(wan)了。”我(wo)(wo)拿出要考的(de)單詞表來，去學(xue)校的(de)一路(lu)上，我(wo)(wo)都在(zai)復習(xi)。最(zui)終(zhong)，我(wo)(wo)考了個好成績(ji)。

　　The minute I got home,I gave Tex a gigantic hug.

　　一回(hui)到家，我就(jiu)給(gei)特克斯一個(ge)大大的(de)擁(yong)抱。

　　“This is the luckiest hat in the world,” I said. “I’m never taking it off!”

　　“這是世界上最幸運的帽子。”我說(shuo)，“我永(yong)遠都不取(qu)下來了！”

　　“But you promised to give it back!” said Tex.

　　“但(dan)你答應過要(yao)還給我的。”特克(ke)斯說。

　　“I know,but…” I pretended to try to pull the hat off my head. “I think it’s stuck.”

　　“我(wo)知道，但(dan)是……”我(wo)假(jia)裝試圖把帽(mao)子摘下來，“我(wo)想它(ta)粘住了(le)。”

　　“It is not!” said Tex.

　　“沒有！”特克斯(si)說。

　　“Please-oh-please let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day!” I begged.

　　“求求你(ni)把你(ni)的(de)幸運帽借我再用一天(tian)。”我請求道。

　　“Tomorrow I’m auditioning for the school play,and I need every bit of help I can get.”

　　“明天我(wo)(wo)要參加學校話劇表演(yan)的(de)選角面試，我(wo)(wo)需要得(de)到(dao)所有幫(bang)助。”

　　“OK,” said Tex. “One more day. But you’d better be really nice to me.”

　　“好(hao)吧(ba)，”特(te)克斯說(shuo)，“再(zai)借一天。但你最好(hao)真得對我(wo)好(hao)點。”

　　“I will,” I agreed. “In fact,here you can have my lucky dollar!” Tex let out a whoop,then started dancing around and waving his gift in the air.

　　“我會的，”我同意道，“這樣，我這張幸運美元(yuan)給你(ni)！”特克斯歡呼(hu)了一聲(sheng)，接著，他一邊在空中揮(hui)舞著他的禮物，一邊開始在四周(zhou)跳(tiao)起舞來(lai)。

　　The next day turned out to be super lucky. My audition couldn’t have gone better.

　　第二(er)天(tian)，我的運氣(qi)棒(bang)極了。我的試演再好(hao)不過了。

　　“Wow,Arizona!” said my friend Mareya. “I can’t believe how amazingly you just did! You are so getting a major part in this play!”

　　“哇，亞利桑那！”我的`朋友瑪(ma)瑞(rui)婭說，“你剛剛的表演(yan)太令人(ren)吃驚了，我簡直不敢相(xiang)信！你肯定可以在這部話劇里演(yan)主角！”

　　“Thanks! You did really great,too!” I said. “But honestly,the only reason I did OK is because I had my lucky hat.”

　　“謝謝！你也表演得(de)很棒！”我(wo)回答道(dao)，“不(bu)過，老實說(shuo)，我(wo)表演好全因為我(wo)有一頂幸運帽。”

　　“What lucky hat?” asked Mareya.

　　“什么幸運(yun)帽？”瑪瑞婭問。

　　“This one,reaching into my backpack,where I thought I’d put Tex’s hat since I couldn’t wear it for the audition. But it wasn’t there! “Oh no!” I cried. “It’s gone! What am I going to tell Tex?”

　　“就是這個，”我邊說(shuo)邊把(ba)手伸(shen)進書包(bao)里，我以為我把(ba)特(te)克斯的(de)帽子放(fang)在書包(bao)里了(le)，因為我不(bu)(bu)能戴著它表演。但帽子不(bu)(bu)在里面！“哦，不(bu)(bu)！”我喊道(dao)，“它不(bu)(bu)見了(le)！我怎么跟特(te)克斯交代(dai)啊？”

　　Mareya helped me look for it. Luckily,we found Tex’s hat in my locker. Also luckily,I discovered that I could be lucky with or without a goofy-looking cap in my possession.

　　瑪瑞婭也幫我(wo)(wo)找，幸運(yun)的是，我(wo)(wo)們發(fa)現原(yuan)來(lai)帽(mao)子(zi)放在我(wo)(wo)的儲(chu)物柜里了。同樣幸運(yun)的是，我(wo)(wo)發(fa)現無論戴不戴那頂落入我(wo)(wo)手(shou)中(zhong)讓我(wo)(wo)看(kan)起(qi)來(lai)滑稽可笑的帽(mao)子(zi)，我(wo)(wo)都會(hui)有(you)好運(yun)。

　　“So it wasn’t the hat,” said Mareya. “This is just a wild guess,but maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month.”

　　“所(suo)以，并不是因為那頂(ding)帽子，”瑪瑞婭(ya)說，“那不過是瞎(xia)猜罷了(le)。也(ye)許那是你(ni)過去一個月里刻苦練習的結果(guo)。”

　　“Hmm,” I said. “It’s possible.”

　　“嗯(ng)，”我說，“可能是(shi)！”

　　So,dear Looking,I guess you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared,believing in yourself…and maybe just a tiny bit of magic!In other words,luck may come your way,but you have to be ready for it when it does!

　　所以(yi)，親愛的運(yun)(yun)氣尋覓者，我想你可以(yi)說幸(xing)運(yun)(yun)是這樣一個(ge)組(zu)合——做好準備，相(xiang)信自己……也(ye)許(xu)再加上一點點的魔法！換言之(zhi)，幸(xing)運(yun)(yun)也(ye)許(xu)正向你走來，但在它(ta)降臨(lin)時(shi)，你得做好準備！

　　Ciao for now.

　　寫到(dao)這里。再見。
