第8单元 温暖满人间

 

Tomorrow is a special day. Each year on December 24th, our family gathers together the unused blankets and jackets we have in our house.

 

明天是个特殊的日子，每年的十二月二十四日，我们全家会收集家中不用的谈资和外套。

 

We then take the pile, put them into our stationwagon, and drive around the city giving them to street people.We also bake cookies and hand them out, too. Sometimes my dog, Danny, shares his doggy treats， and I pass them out to the dogs that live on the streets with their owners.

 

然后把这一堆收集品放到旅行车上，开车到市内分送给街头游民，我们也会烤饼干分送出去，有时候我的狗丹尼会分享它的饼干，我会把这些饼干给街头游民养的狗。

 

Last year, we met a woman who lived on the corner of 6th and knight².When she saw the red ribbon³ in my hair, she smiled. She said her favorite color was red. I remembered that in the car there was a red blanket with pink flowers. I ran and got it for her. She told me she loved it. Sometimes, we see the same people year after year.

 

去年，我们在骑士街六号街角遇到一位女士，当她看到我头上的红色缎带时，她微笑并说她最喜欢的颜色就是红色，我想起车上有条红色毯子，上头绣着粉红色的花朵，我跑去拿给她，她告诉我她很喜欢。有时候我们每年会遇到相同的人。

 

This year, I saved my allowance⁴ and bought the lady on 6th and Knight a red scarf.If I see her tomorrow, I will give it to her. If I don't see her, I guess I will just give it to someone else who likes red.

 

今年我存了零用钱，为骑士街六号的那位女士买了条红围巾，如果明天看到她，我就会送给她，如果没有，我就会送给也喜欢红色的人。
