Old thing
旧物
One old thing in my home is an old pocket watch,which is also a gift from my grandfather . I cherish it very much,because it reminds me of my grandfather.
我家里的一个古老的东西要数我爷爷给我的礼物，那就是一只怀表，我非常珍惜它，因为它使我想起了我的爷爷。
I received the watch when I entered high school. My grandfather wasn't wealthy and he wanted to give me something important to celebrate my graduation from junior high school. In fact he didn't have to. He loved this watch very much. I know this because I remember one day when the watch wasn ' t working properly,he was in quite a panic. I always wondered what was so special about the watch. It looked com-mon, and not worthwhile. When my grandfather sent me this watch I had a digital wristwatch,which was more charming. I put the pocket watch in the drawer and almost forgot it.
在我上高中的时候我爷爷给了我这只表，那时的他并不富裕，只是想给我一些值得纪念的东西庆祝一下我初中毕业。事实上他不必如此。我知道他非常喜欢这块手表，因为我记得有一次那块手表坏了的时候他非常伤心。我总是很想知道为什么这块表对他来说这么特别。它只是一只非常普通的不值钱的表而已。当我爷爷送我他的这只表的时候，我已经拥有了自己的一块非常漂亮的数字表。我把表放在抽屉里几乎忘记了它的存在。
One year ago my grandfather passed away. When I tidied up the drawer I saw the pocket watch. I asked my father about the watch. My father told me that it was passed from my greatgrandfather. The family was very poor when my grandfather was a child. In order to afford my grandfather's tuition fee my great-grandfather pawned the watch... the only valued thing in the family. After my grandfather graduated and earned money,he redeemed the watch and kept it from then on. My grandfather sent it to me,wishing I worked hard to become a useful person in the future.
一年前我爷爷去世了，当我拉开抽屉看到表的时候，我问我爸爸有关表的事情。爸爸说这是我的曾祖父留下来的东西，我爷爷小时候家里比较穷，为了支付我爷爷的学费，我的曾祖父就当掉了表，那时的表是家里唯一最值钱的东西。我爷爷毕业后挣钱了就赎回了表然后把它送给我，希望我努力学习将来成为一个有用 的人。
Now I take the watch with me. It seems to carry the soul of my grandfather.
现在我戴着这块表，就像承载着我爷爷的心愿。
