We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language. We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning.
我们玩了各种各样的游戏，在音乐室里我们唱了第一次学会的歌。我们第一次接触到了语言的学习。我们看见了一个地球仪，旋转它，便能看见世界上的各个大洲和国家的名称。我们开始学习数字，听老师讲上帝创世的故事。我们吃了美味的食物，小睡了一会儿，醒来后又继续在友谊和爱中嬉戏、学习。
Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting. And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold. Even more frequently she would resort to physical punishment.
然而，校园生活并非全是甜蜜和阳光普照的。我们还必须遵守纪律，耐心听讲。学校生活也不光是嬉戏和闲荡。同学间的竞争还可能会带来痛苦、仇恨，甚至打斗。那位女士虽然有时面带微笑，但也经常会大声吼叫并责骂我们，更多的时候甚至会体罚我们。
In addition, the time for changing one's mind was over and gone and there was no question of ever returning to the paradise of home. Nothing lay ahead of us but exertion, struggle, and perseverance. Those who were able took advantage of the opportunities for success and happiness that presented themselves.
另外，我们再也不能改变主意，再也不可能回到天堂一般的家里了。摆在我们面前的只有努力奋斗和坚持不懈。一旦机会来了，那些有能力的同学就会抓住它们去获取成功和幸福。
The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work. The children rushed towards the gate, which was opened again. I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate. I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there.
铃响了，宣告着一天的学校生活结束了。孩子们冲向重新打开的大门。我向我的朋友和“小甜心”告了别，走出了校门。我四处张望却没发现父亲的踪影。他可是答应我会在这儿等我的。
