The Meaning of a Birthday Tree
生日树的意义
Yu Xiaoming is a middle school student from a small town in China. His birthday is on May 13th, which always feels like a special day. In his family, they have some traditional ways to celebrate. They always eat long noodles with eggs for dinner. His grandmother says the long noodles stand for a long and healthy life. It's not just about the food; it's about their wishes for the future.
于晓明是来自中国一个小镇的一名中学生。他的生日是 5 月 13 日,这总感觉像是一个特殊的日子。在他的家庭中,他们有一些传统的庆祝方式。晚餐他们总是吃长面条和鸡蛋。他的祖母说,长面条代表着长寿和健康的生活。这不仅仅是食物的问题;这是关于他们对未来的愿望。
For Yu Xiaoming, birthdays are also about memories. Every year since he was little, his parents have taken a photo of him under the big old tree in their yard. They have a whole collection of these photos. "Looking at them," Xiaoming says, "is like watching myself grow up. I can see how I've changed, and I remember all the happy times with my family."
对于于晓明来说,生日也是关于回忆的。从他小到大,每年父母都会在自家院子里的大老树下给他拍一张照片。他们有一整套这些照片。“看着它们,”小明说,“就像看着自己长大一样。我可以看到我发生了怎样的变化,我记得与家人在一起的所有快乐时光。
This year, as Xiaoming turned fourteen, he had an idea. He decided to plant a small tree next to the big one on his birthday. "I call it my 'birthday tree'," he explained with a smile. "I will take care of it, and we will grow up together. I think it's a good way to make my birthday meaningful and to thank my family for their love." He also wonders how other people around the world make their birthdays special. He often asks his friends online, "How do you celebrate your birthday? What makes it a happy day for you?"
这一年,小明十四岁了,他有了一个想法。他决定在生日那天在大树旁边种一棵小树。“我称它为我的'生日树',”他微笑着解释道。“我会照顾好它,我们会一起成长的。”我认为这是让我的生日变得有意义并感谢家人的爱的好方法。他还想知道世界各地的其他人如何让他们的生日变得特别。他经常在网上问朋友:“你怎么庆祝你的生日?是什么让你感到快乐的一天?
【长难句分析】
1. 原句: "His grandmother says the long noodles stand for a long and healthy life."
译文: 他的奶奶说,长长的面条代表着长寿和健康的生活。
分析: 本句是一个含有宾语从句的复合句。主句是"His grandmother says",后面省略了连接词"that"的从句"the long noodles stand for a long and healthy life"作动词"says"的宾语。在这个宾语从句中,"the long noodles"是主语,"stand for"是谓语动词短语,"a long and healthy life"是宾语。
2. 原句: "Every year since he was little, his parents have taken a photo of him under the big old tree in their yard."
译文: 从他小时候起,每年他的父母都会在院子里那棵高大古老的大树下给他拍一张照片。
分析: 本句是一个简单句。句子的主干是"his parents have taken a photo"。"Every year since he was little"是时间状语,"of him"是定语修饰"photo","under the big old tree in their yard"是地点状语,其中"in their yard"又修饰"tree"。
3. 原句: "He decided to plant a small tree next to the big one on his birthday, which he thought was a good way to make his birthday meaningful and to thank his family."
译文: 他决定在生日那天在那棵大树旁边种一棵小树,他认为这是让生日有意义并感谢家人的好方法。
分析: 本句是一个主从复合句。主句是"He decided to plant a small tree next to the big one on his birthday"。后面由"which"引导了一个非限制性定语从句,对主句所述的整个事件进行补充说明。在这个定语从句中,"which"指代前面整件事(种树这件事),在从句中作主语,"he thought"是插入语,从句谓语是"was","a good way"是表语,后面的两个不定式"to make..."和"to thank..."是并列关系,共同修饰"way"。

A Birthday for Others
为他人而过的生日
In America, many children like Sarah look forward to their birthdays. They think about the cake, the gifts, and the parties.
在美国,许多像莎拉这样的孩子都期盼着自己的生日。他们想着蛋糕、礼物和派对。
Sarah's birthday is on July 28th. For many years, her celebrations were quite similar: a party with friends, a chocolate cake made by her mom, everyone singing the "Happy Birthday" song, then making a wish, blowing out the candles, and finally opening the gifts. It was fun, but Sarah started to feel something was missing.
莎拉的生日是7月28日。许多年来,她的庆祝方式都非常相似:和朋友开派对,吃妈妈做的巧克力蛋糕,大家唱“生日快乐”歌,然后许愿、吹蜡烛,最后拆礼物。虽然有趣,但莎拉开始觉得缺了点什么。
One custom in Sarah's family is that her father marks her height on the doorframe every year on her birthday. It's exciting to see how much she has grown.
莎拉家有一个习俗:每年生日那天,爸爸会在门框上标记她的身高。看到自己长高了多少总是令人兴奋。
But last year, Sarah learned about some children in her city who didn't have enough food or toys. She felt she was very fortunate. She had an idea: what if she could use her birthday to help others?
但去年,莎拉了解到她所在城市里有些孩子没有足够的食物和玩具。她觉得自己非常幸运。她想到了一个主意:能不能用自己的生日去帮助别人呢?
She talked to her parents. This year, instead of asking for presents for herself, she asked her friends to bring donations—like books or clothes—for those children.
她和父母商量了这件事。今年,她没有为自己索要礼物,而是请朋友们带来一些捐赠品——比如书本或衣物——送给那些孩子。
On her birthday, they had a party, but they also packed the donated items into boxes to give away.
生日当天,他们照常举办了派对,但也一起将捐赠品打包进箱子里准备送出去。
"It felt really good," Sarah said. "My birthday was not only about me getting things, but also about sharing and caring. It was one of my happiest birthdays ever!"
“这种感觉真的很棒,”莎拉说,“我的生日不再只是关于我得到什么,而是关于分享与关爱。这是我过得最开心的生日之一!”
She believes that kindness is the best gift one can give or receive.

译文: 多年来,她的庆祝方式都非常相似:和朋友开派对,吃妈妈做的巧克力蛋糕,大家唱“生日快乐”歌,然后许愿,吹灭蜡烛,最后打开礼物。
分析: 本句是一个简单句。主干是"her celebrations were quite similar"。冒号后面的部分是一个并列的名词短语和动名词短语,作为"similar"的同位语,具体解释说明庆祝活动的内容。这些短语包括"a party...", "a chocolate cake...", "everyone singing..." (独立主格结构), "making a wish...", "blowing out...", and "opening..."。
2. 原句: "This year, instead of asking for presents for herself, she asked her friends to bring donations—like books or clothes—for those children."
译文: 今年,她没有为自己要礼物,而是请她的朋友们为那些孩子带来捐赠物——比如书或衣服。
分析: 本句是一个简单句。句首"Instead of asking for presents for herself"是介词短语作状语,表示方式。句子主干是"she asked her friends to bring donations for those children"。"ask sb to do sth"是固定结构。破折号之间的"like books or clothes"是插入语,起举例说明的作用。
3. 原句: "She believes that kindness is the best gift one can give or receive."
译文: 她相信善良是一个人能给予或收到的最好的礼物。
分析: 本句是一个主从复合句。主句是"She believes",后面由"that"引导了一个宾语从句"kindness is the best gift one can give or receive"。在这个宾语从句中,又包含一个省略了关系代词"that"的定语从句"one can give or receive",用来修饰先行词"gift"。

Fourth, I decorated the back of the card. 4. I stuck three star stickers on the back and wrote "Friendship Card" in big letters. My dad said it looked nice and Tom would like it.

1. 原句: "For many years, her celebrations were quite similar: a party with friends, a chocolate cake made by her mom, everyone singing the 'Happy Birthday' song, then making a wish, blowing out the candles, and finally opening the gifts."
译文: 多年来,她的庆祝方式都非常相似:和朋友开派对,吃妈妈做的巧克力蛋糕,大家唱“生日快乐”歌,然后许愿,吹灭蜡烛,最后打开礼物。
分析: 本句是一个简单句。主干是"her celebrations were quite similar"。冒号后面的部分是一个并列的名词短语和动名词短语,作为"similar"的同位语,具体解释说明庆祝活动的内容。这些短语包括"a party...", "a chocolate cake...", "everyone singing..." (独立主格结构), "making a wish...", "blowing out...", and "opening..."。
2. 原句: "This year, instead of asking for presents for herself, she asked her friends to bring donations—like books or clothes—for those children."
译文: 今年,她没有为自己要礼物,而是请她的朋友们为那些孩子带来捐赠物——比如书或衣服。
分析: 本句是一个简单句。句首"Instead of asking for presents for herself"是介词短语作状语,表示方式。句子主干是"she asked her friends to bring donations for those children"。"ask sb to do sth"是固定结构。破折号之间的"like books or clothes"是插入语,起举例说明的作用。
3. 原句: "She believes that kindness is the best gift one can give or receive."
译文: 她相信善良是一个人能给予或收到的最好的礼物。
分析: 本句是一个主从复合句。主句是"She believes",后面由"that"引导了一个宾语从句"kindness is the best gift one can give or receive"。在这个宾语从句中,又包含一个省略了关系代词"that"的定语从句"one can give or receive",用来修饰先行词"gift"。

Making a Friendship Card for My New Friend
Last week, I met a new friend named Tom in the reading club. He likes reading science books, just like me. I want to make a friendship card for him to show my kindness. Here's how I did it:
First, I prepared the materials I needed. 1. I got a piece of blue paper (Tom's favorite color), a black pen, colored pencils, and some star stickers. My mom helped me cut the paper into a square—this size is easy to hold.
Second, I wrote my info on the front of the card. 4. I drew a small book on the top left (because we both like reading), then wrote my name "Li Hua" and my hobby "reading science books" next to it. I used colored pencils to make the book look colorful.
Third, I added a short message inside the card. 3. I wrote, "Hi Tom! It's great to meet you in the reading club. I hope we can read more science books together and be good friends forever!" I also drew a small star next to the message.
Fourth, I decorated the back of the card. 4. I stuck three star stickers on the back and wrote "Friendship Card" in big letters. My dad said it looked nice and Tom would like it.
When I gave the card to Tom, he smiled and said, "Thank you! This is the best gift I've got here. " We talked about science books again, and I felt very happy.
