I recently had a challenging time working on a group project. My teacher put me with three people who weren't all that excited about getting any work done.
我最近在一个小组项目上遇到了挑战。我的老师把我和三个对工作不太热心的人放在一起。
Our assignment was to pick one of the 50 states and make a brochure about it. "Let's pick Hawaii!" said Emma, "Hawaii has super-cute swimsuits.” “True!” Agreed Angela, “Speaking of swimsuits, there are some get-ready-for-summer sales happening now."
我们的任务是选择50个州中的一个并制作一份关于它的小册子。"我们选择夏威夷吧!"Emma说,"夏威夷有超可爱的泳装。” “说得对!”Angela同意道,“说起泳装,现在有一些夏季预销销活动正在进行中。”
“Really? Maybe my mother will take me shopping this weekend," said Emma. I turned to Bernard,“Which state do you think we should pick?” He shrugged, “I don't care. But what happened to your hair, Jessica? It looks like caught in a blender (搅拌机)!”
“真的吗?可能我妈妈这个周末会带我去购物,"Emma。我转向Bernard,“你认为我们应该选择哪个州?”他耸耸肩,“我不在乎。但是,Jessica,你的头发怎么了?它看起来像被搅拌机搅拌了一样!”
No one in my group seemed very eager to talk about our project, so I went ahead and shared interesting facts I knew about Hawaiian food and culture.
我的小组里似乎没有人很热衷于讨论我们的项目,所以我开了个头,首先分享我知道的关于夏威夷食物和文化的趣事。
When I was done, no one responded, so I pulled out my notebook, I asked Emma to search for pictures of Hawaiian sea life. But she said she was busy and asked if her picture at a Hawaii hotel pool would do.
我讲完后,没有人回应,所以我拿出了我的笔记本,我请Emma搜索夏威夷海洋生物的图片。但是她说她很忙,问我她在夏威夷酒店p拍的泳池的照片是否可以。
I requested Angela and Bernard to find Hawaiian historical information and geography respectively. It turned out they all had their own business. I was getting the impression that none but me planned to work on the brochure.
我要求Angela和Bernard分别查找夏威夷的历史信息和地理信息。结果他们都有自己的事情要做。我开始感觉到除我之外,没有人打算做这份小册子。
Later that day, as I set the table for dinner, my mom could tell I was stressed-out. "What's going on?" she asked. I told her what happened and sighed, "So I guess the only way to get the brochure done is for me to do it myself.
当天晚些时候,当我在摆晚餐的时候,我妈妈看得出我很有压力。"怎么了?"她问我。我告诉她发生的事情并叹了口气,“所以我猜唯一完成小册子的方式
