第一段
Going the Distance
走完全程(坚持到底)
Riya spent the first week of high school trying to keep her head above water. She was overwhelmed by the huge building. She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn't exist. All the different hallways and wings were too much to think about, let alone commit to memory.
丽亚在高中的第一周试图保持清醒。她面对这栋巨大的建筑不知所措。她决定记住她的课在哪里,然后假装这个地方的其他地方都不存在。她很难去思考所有不同的走廊和大厅侧面,更不用说记住它们了。
第二、三段
In P.E., Coach Wallace sent her reeling when he announced that everyone had to run one mile around the track outside.
在体育上课上,当华莱士教练宣布每个人都必须在外面的跑道上跑一英里时,她都惊呆了。
Riya searched the faces of her classmates for signs of panic. There was nothing she dreaded more than having to run a whole mile. To Riya, a mile was used to describe long distances. It was ten miles to her grandfather's house, and that always seemed like a long way, even in a car!
丽娅在她同学的脸上寻找恐慌的迹象。没有什么比跑一英里更让她害怕的了。对丽亚来说,一英里被用来描述很长的距离。离她祖父家有十英里远,即使在车里,也一样!
第四、五段
When Coach Wallace blew his whistle, Riya figured she would be left in the dust. However, while some of her classmates edged ahead, others actually lagged behind. It's just the beginning, she thought. I'll come in last for sure.
当华莱士教练吹响口哨时,丽亚认为她会被抛在尘土中。然而,当她的一些同学逐渐领先时,其他人实际上却落后了。这只是个开始,她想。我肯定会跑最后。
Riya started using a mind trick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word mile. Instead, she focused on reaching the shadow cast on the track by an oak tree up ahead. Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved. After that, she tried to see if she could complete her first lap. One lap turned into two, then three, then four.
丽娅开始对自己使用一种心理戏法。她不再在想“英里”这个词了。相反,她专注于到达前面一棵橡树投射在轨道上投射的阴影。然后,她集中精力慢跑到跑道弯曲的地方。在那之后,她想看看能不能完成她的第一圈。一圈变成两圈,然后三轮,然后四圈。
第六、七段
When Coach Wallace gave her a high five and said, "Nice work," Riya was shocked. She never would have guessed that she had just run a whole mile.
当华莱士教练跟她机长并且说“干得好”时,丽娅惊呆了。她从来没有想到她刚刚跑了整整一英里。
