211.What Did You Do This Summer?
211.这个暑假你做了什么？
Good morning, class! the teacher said. "Now that I have finished taking attendance, we're going to take a look at what you all did over summer vacation! Who would like to share first?"
“同学们，早上好！”老师说。“现在我已经点完名，接下来我们要看一看暑假期间你们都做了些什么！谁愿意第一个跟我们分享？”
Margaret raised her hand. "Our family took a trip to Europe! We went to Paris, London and even Seville! I even got to take a walk down the Champs Elysees. We took lots of pictures of our trip. We even have one picture of this beggar trying to take advantage of my mom!"
玛格丽特举起了手。“我们家去欧洲旅游了！我们去了巴黎、伦敦，甚塞维利亚！我还沿着香榭丽舍大街散了一次步！我们拍了许多照片。我们还拍了一张这个乞丐想骗我妈的照片！
Mrs. Williams smiled to herself!
威廉斯夫人暗自笑了！
Little Joey raised his hand. 'Umm. Mrs. Williams. Can I take a rain check on this discussion? My family doesn't have any money! So we didn't take a vacation anywhere!"
小乔伊举手了。“嗯，威廉斯夫人，我能改日参加这个讨论吗？我家一点儿钱也没有！所以我们没有去任何地方度假！”
No, Joey! I have taken into account the fact that we all don't come from wealthy families; so don't worry if you didn't go anywhere fantastic or expensive! Not everyone can take action at such a grand scale! Besides, nothing so extravagant can take away the value of spending time with your own family.
“不，乔伊！我已经考虑过，我们都不是来自富有的家庭，所以没有去过好玩的或者很花钱的地方，你也不用着急。不是每个人都能采取这么大的行动的！而且，再奢侈的享受也不能减少和家人在一起的重要性。”
That's like what we did! Davey Jones said. "Our family took advantage of the summer to go fishing in the river behind our house every day! We didn't even take along lunches because we could just go back to our house to eat! But I caught so many fish that my dad said I took after my grandfather—he was a great fisherman!"
“我家的情况就是这样！”戴维·琼斯说。“我家利用暑假每天都去屋后面的河里钓鱼！我们连午饭都不用带，因为我们可以回家吃饭！可我钓了很多鱼，爸爸说我像我的爷爷——他是个了不起的渔夫！”
"Wonderful Mrs. Williams said.
“太棒了！”威廉斯夫人说。
Well, I didn't go to Europe or fishing,"" Joey said. ""I just took a nap everyday and watched my baby sister while my parents worked! That's why I'm tired right now! I think it will take a while for me to get used to being awake all day!"
“嗯，我没去欧洲，也没有钓鱼，”乔伊说。“我只是每天睡个午觉，爸妈上班的时候，我就照看我的小妹妹！就因为这样我现在有点儿累！我想我需要一段时间才能习惯白天不睡觉！”
The whole class laughed.
全班同学都笑了。
