The moment the bell rang, Lek grabbed his school bag and raced towards his destination. When at last he pushed open the door of his parents' restaurant, he could hardly catch his breath.
铃声一响,Lek就抓起书包朝目的地跑去。当他终于推开父母餐馆的门时,他几乎喘不过气来。
He ran into the kitchen and reached for a pile of banana leaves on the counter. If he hurried, he might have time to make his krathong(水灯) before the celebration started.
他跑进厨房,伸手去拿柜台上的一堆香蕉叶。如果他快点,他可能有时间做他的克拉通(水灯) 庆祝活动开始前。
Tonight was Loy Krathong(水灯节), the Festival of the Floating Lanterns. In his town, people would send out lighted candles in tiny boats along rivers and canals so that the past year's problems could sail away with them and be replaced with wishes for the new year.
今晚是洛伊·克拉通(水灯节), 浮灯节。在他的小镇上,人们会乘坐小船沿着河流和运河发出点燃的蜡烛,这样过去一年的问题就可以迎刃而解,取而代之的是对新年的祝福。
As he wrapped the banana leaves around a bamboo base to form his boat, Lek thought about his sister, Katia. She was too sick to float a krathong on the river tonight.

Lek had balanced stones on the flat piece of metal at the bottom of a long pole and lowered them into the river until their parents had scolded him for standing too close to the water's edge.
当他把香蕉叶包在竹底座上组成他的船时,Lek想起了他的妹妹Katia。她病得太重了,今晚不能在河上漂一条丁字裤。也许只要对瑞·克拉通许一个愿,就能解除她的病痛。也许那样她就能像以前那样笑了(塞) 四朵红花插在香蕉叶里,在它们的花之间插了三根香。在中间,他放了一支高高的白色蜡烛。本周,Lek像他的哥哥Fred一样练习了一次水上马拉松。弗雷德在下水方面经验丰富,经常为每位客户下水。Lek把石头放在一根长杆子底部的平金属上,然后把它们放进河里,直到他们的父母斥责他站得离水边太近。
When night fell, Lek and Fred made their way outside through the crowd standing under
