Kevin was pretty bored. His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye.
Mrs. Hill’s front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green’s house across the street. The couple had both gone to work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill’s home phone and called the police.
Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill’s house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down tree, he jumped in through the window. “Stop right there! You must leave right now!” he called out, holding the branch with both hands.
The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief. “Hey, kid, put that down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father’s watch was here,” he explained, trying to lift a floorboard.

At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what had happened. They pursued and arrested the man.
Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill’s house. Somehow he wasn’t sure he had done the right thing. “What if he has told the truth ” he thought to himself. The man’s words sounded pretty convincing.
Paragraph 1: When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them.
Paragraph 2: Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station.

第一段:When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them.
(1)首句提示语,告诉我们Kevin准备去和Mr.和Mrs. Green谈谈发生的事情。你能想象Kevin的心情吗?他一定有些 吧,因为他要把所有事情都告诉他们,尤其是涉及到那个“陌生男人”。所以,接下来的句子应该是描述Kevin和他们沟通时的情感以及告知的具体内容,一句话简述即可,不宜过长。
(2)接下来会怎么发展呢?既然Kevin把一切告诉了他们,大家应该会有反应了。嗯,下一句应该是Mr.和Mrs. Green的 ,特别是他们听完Kevin的话之后。
(3)他们听完之后表达了感激。然后呢?既然那人提到了 和 ,他们一定都会心存疑问,那么他们下一步会做什么呢?肯定会 。
(4)而这一行动也正好验证了Kevin心里的 ,没错,接下来一定会发现 ,这时候就增加了悬念!读者会好奇,这块手表到底是谁的呢?Mr.和Mrs. Green会解释,东西 。
(5)听到这个消息后,Kevin的内心应该有一些变化,接下来的句子就可以自然地写出他的这种心理变化
。
第二段开头句:Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station.
来到警察局了,警察显然要 。这时,事情的真相也快揭晓了,接下来就应该说出真相了,是吧?
这里就揭示了真相, 。通过“checked out”确认了他的故事。
这时Kevin的 ,毕竟他一开始怀疑这个人,后来怀疑自己可能误解了他,最后自己确实误解了这个人。
但这个人的行为 。 这时候,警察应该会 ,即便这个人说的是事实,他的行为也 。
故事即将结束,故事的结尾可以是Kevin回顾这一切时的一些心理活动,前文提到了Kevin在这无聊的一天想要 和 ,他终于如愿以偿了。
翻译练习:
他把事情的经过说了一遍,从那个男人闯入到他声称父亲留下的手表,他的心在胸腔里怦怦直跳。
听了凯文的讲述后,格林夫妇表达了他们的感激之情。
然后他们冲向那块地板。当他们查看地板下面时,他们的眼睛睁大了,因为他们发现了一块手表 —— 但这不是他们的.
他的直觉一直都是对的,但他心中仍有疑虑。那个男人说的会是真话吗?
一到警察局,警察就把那个男人带出来审问。
很明显,他说的情况属实 —— 他的父母曾经住在格林家的房子里,那块手表确实是他父亲的。
尽管如此,警察还是警告了那个男人他的鲁莽行为。
随着案件结束,凯文不禁暗自笑了。
这一次,他做了一件令人兴奋的事 —— 也许还有点冒险 —— 但最终,这一切都是值得的。
就像他所希望的那样,发生了一件激动人心的事。
Keys:
When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them. His heart pounded in his chest as he relayed(v. 转达;n.接力赛) what had happened, from the man breaking in to his claims(n.声称) about the watch left behind by his father. After listening to Kevin, Mr. and Mrs. Green expressed their gratitude. And then they rushed to the floorboard. The moment they checked under the floorboard, their eyes widened as they found a watch—yet it wasn’t theirs. His gut feeling(直觉) had been right all along, but doubt lingered in his mind. Could the man truly be telling the truth
Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. Once at the station, the police officer brought out the man for questioning(提问;询问;盘问). It became clear that his story checked out(查证属实;证明是对的)—his parents had once lived in the Green’s house, and the watch was indeed his father’s. Still, the police warned the man about his reckless(鲁莽的) behavior. As the case came to a close, Kevin couldn't help but smile to himself. For once, he had done something exciting—and maybe a little risky—but in the end, it had been worth it. Just like he had hoped, something thrilling had happened.
