Her 10th Birthday
十岁生日
It was Emily’s 10th birthday. She was 10 years old. She was so happy. “I’m so happy,” she said. “I’m finally 10. Ten is two numbers. Ten is an adult number. Ten is a grown-up number. I’m an adult now. I’m a grown-up. I used to be nine. Nine is a kid number. Nine is for kids. I’m not a kid anymore.” Her sister Irene said, “Of course you’re still a kid. Teenagers are kids. You’re not even a teenager yet. You’re in fifth grade. Fifth grade is for kids. Twelfth grade is for kids, too. When you are 18, you will be in twelfth grade. You will still be a kid. You will be a kid for eight more years.” Emily said, “No, you’re a kid. You’re only seven. Seven is a kid.” Irene said she wasn’t seven. She said she was seven and a half.
这天是艾米丽10岁生日。她这年10岁。她非常高兴。她说到：“我太高兴了，我终于十岁了。10是两个数字。10是成人的数字。10是长大的数字。我是成年人了。我是大人了。我之前是9岁。9岁是儿童年龄。9岁是顽童年龄。我不再是小孩子了。”她的姐姐艾琳说：“你当然还是孩子。青少年还是孩子。你甚至还不到青少年的年纪。你现在5年级。儿童才上5年级。12年级的学生也是孩子。当你18岁时你还在12年级。你依旧是个孩子。你还要再当8年多的孩子。”艾米丽说：“不，你是孩子，你只有7岁。7岁也是孩子。”艾琳说她不是7岁。她说她已经7岁半了。
