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,當(dāng)然啰,每次拿成績(jī)單回家,免不了又會(huì)有問題。
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),我考滿分!不用說(shuō)我父母也很滿意我的表現(xiàn),不過(guò)重要的是,我了解到我可以不只是普普通通,并沒有人告訴我這一點(diǎn),而是我向自己證明了這一點(diǎn)。
