Part D. Translation(文本翻译)
我的高中第一天
9月4日星期一
我在脑海中进行一遍又一遍地想象之后,如今这一天终于来了:我高中生活的第一天!我一大早就起床冲出家门,迫不及待地想要了解我的新学校。
我来到的时候校园里还很安静,我决定四处探索一番。当我正在看布告栏上的照片时,身后忽然传来一个声音:“你是新生吗?”我转过身,看到一位白发老人。“是的,”我回答道,“我想知道这里的生活将是怎么样的。”“别担心,”他对我微微一笑,“你很快就会知道了。”
这话说得真是太对了!当我的英语老师走进教室时,我很惊讶地发现,他就是我之前遇到的那位老人。
“大家早上好。开始上课前,请大家依次到前面来向全班介绍一下你自己。我先来……”
“什么?!”我试图让我的大脑运转起来,但引擎怎么就是无法启动。“当然,我得先介绍我的名字。还有呢?我该说些什么才能给别人留下一个不错的第一印象呢?也许应该说说我收藏昆虫标本的事。”我正忙着在脑海中组织语言,坐在我旁边的女孩轻轻推了我一下:“轮到你了!”
我心里七上八下、紧张万分。我深呼一口气说:“大家好,我叫孟浩。”大家开始大笑起来。我惊慌失措地看着他们。“很高兴我们同名啊。”我的新老师说。我刚才太紧张了,竟然没有仔细听老师的自我介绍!尽管有些尴尬,但他的话还是让我放松了很多!
我们都介绍完后,孟老师说:“大家都做得很好!我知道这对你们很多人来说并不容易,但这正是你们在高中阶段将会面对的。类似的挑战有时可能会让大家倍感压力,但这一切都取决于你自己的努力。大家要时刻保持冷静,做好准备,这样就可以充分利用高中的时光了。”
常言道:“好的开始是成功的一半。”我想,我的高中生活开了一个好头。
