导语:世界就是这么奇妙!也许在误会之后你会遇到一生中的好朋友,收获真正的友谊!
When I met my good friend for the first time,I was full of anxiety.I was trying to do some revision for an important oral exam in the library and some people kept disturbing me.When hearing someone singing behind me,I got very angry!I turned around,glaring at the person who was singing.It was a tall girl about the same age as me.
I still don’t want to think of that moment.Let me tell you the rest of her story.
I left the library in such a hurry that I left the most important textbook behind.It was only when I got home two hours later that I realised I’d forgotten it and I could do nothing as the library was closed.I was so upset that I almost cried.Just then the phone rang.I answered it and a gentle voice introduced the speaker as Susan and asked if I was Jenny.After confirming1 that I was,she said that she had noticed I’d left my book in the library and as my name was on it,she’d asked a librarian to get my phone number from their files.She said that she didn’t live far away and could bring it around for me if I needed it.
I sighed with relief and agreed to meet her at the convenience store down the road.I was so grateful!Of course you’ve guessed who Susan was.She was the girl I had glared at for singing.We got along well and ever since then we’ve been best friends.To be honest,I trust her more than anyone else.I often think how lucky I am.If Susan hadn’t been a kind person who was willing to forgive2 my shortcomings,I would never have experienced such true friendship.
译文:
当我第一次遇到我的好朋友时,我内心充满焦虑。当时我正在图书馆里努力为一门重要的口语考试复习,这时有
人一直在打扰我。当我听到背后有人在唱歌时,我变得非常生气!我扭过头,对在唱歌的人怒目而视。那是一个身材高挑、和我年龄相仿的女孩。
我现在仍然不愿意回想起那一时刻。我还是给你们讲一下有关她后来发生的事吧。
我离开图书馆时太匆忙了,结果把最重要的课本落在了那里。我回到家两个小时后才意识到这一点,可是已经于事无补,因为图书馆已经关门了。我感到万分沮丧,差点哭了。就在那时电话铃响了。我接起电话,传来一个
温柔的声音,自我介绍说她叫苏珊,并问我是不是珍妮。在确定我的身份以后,苏珊说她注意到我把书落在了图书馆,因为书上有我的名字,她让一名图书管理员从档案中找到了我的电话号码。她说她住得不远,如果我需要这本书的话,她可以给我送过来。
我如释重负,感激万分,同意与她在这条街上的便利店里见面。当然你们已经猜出苏珊是谁了,就是因为唱歌让我怒目而视的那个女孩。我们相处得很好,从那以后,我们就成了最好的朋友。老实说,我对她比对任何人都信任。我常常想我真是太幸运了,如果苏珊不是一个善良的人,不愿意宽恕我的缺点的话,我就不会经历这段真正的友谊了。
