48. A Good Lesson
教训
I am always careless with what I am doing. My mother warns me of dangers, but I turn a deaf ear to her words. However, a fire once gave me a good lesson and made me correct my shortcomings of carelessness.
我做什么事情都心不在焉，我母亲警告我这样的危险性，但是我却置若罔闻，然而，一场火灾教训了我，让我改正了粗心的毛病。
One day my parents were out so I decided to prepare lunch for myself. As I was cooking in the kitchen, the telephone rang. I went to answer the call immediately. It was my close friend, Linda. We were talking and talking on the phone when the fire alarm sounded. I ran back to the kitchen, finding the room was full of smoke and the food was badly burnt. I quickly turned off the gas, opened all the windows, and then went out of the house. To my surprise, two fire engines were outside my house. One of my neighbors called the fire brigade. I told the firemen it was my careless cooking that caused the heavy smoke. I was quite a shamed of myself and made up my mind to be careful with whatever I do from then on.
一天我父母出去了，我决定自己动手。我正在厨房做饭时，电话响了，我立即去接电话，是我的好朋友琳达，我们正谈着，突然警报叫了起来，我跑回厨房，发现里面都是烟，炉子上的饭也烧焦了。我赶快关闭煤气伐，打开所有的窗户，并离开房间。我惊讶地发现两辆救火车在外面，我的邻居报了警，我告诉消防员是由于我的粗心造成了这些烟雾。我羞愧难当，暗暗决心，从此无论做什么都要小心仔细。
