二十一. I Did a Silly Thing
A few years ago, when my family moved to this city, I became interested in soap-box race. That's when I discovered that“it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.”
Dad bought a set of tools to make a racing car for me. I just couldn't wait, and one day, while Dad was at work, I decided to have my car going. I looked at the drawings, and I said to myself,“Dude, you can do this.”I got out Dad's toolbox, and I started building. Part A fit into Part B. Part C was a little harder to connect to Part D. It was easy to fix Part E. By the time I got to Part G,I'd made a real mess(混亂) of things. I really regret having done such a silly thing.
What did I learn from this experience? Now I know that before I start something, I should know how to finish it.
【漢語翻譯】
我做了一件傻事
幾年前,我們搬到這座城市時,我對肥皂(soap)箱(box)賽車比賽(race)產生了興趣。就是在那時我發現(discover)了“開始做某件事要比完成它容易地多(far easier)”(即“開始容易結束難”)的道理。
爸爸買了一套工具(A set of tools)要給我做一輛賽車(racing car)。我是急不可耐,然后有一天,爸爸在上班(be at work)時,我決定讓我的小車轉起來。我看著圖紙(drawing)。對自己說,“都德,你可以做到。”我拿出了爸爸的工具箱,接著就開始造車了。零件A適合(fit)零件B。零件C連接(connect)到零件D就有點難度。零件E很容易安裝(fix)。到我開始零件G時,我已經把事情弄的一團糟。我真的后悔(regret)做了這么一件傻(silly)事。
