2017高考英语阅读理解翻译

　　The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."

　　My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

　　From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

　　我如何变得乐观

　　我开始长大，在那个冬季的晚上，当我的父母和我从我的姑姑家返回的时候，我的母亲说，我们可能不久将离开美国。我们当时在公共汽车上。我哭，有些在公共汽车上的人转过头看着我。我记得，我无法忍受再也听不到每天早上为小学生们播放的电台节目的思绪了。

　　我不记得自己再一次为这个原因哭泣了。事实上，我想当我告别我的朋友和亲戚我很少哭。当我们离开我曾经想要去看的所有的地方，那些只有从书上和图片上知道的奇异的，魔法的地方。我离开的国家几乎再也不会回到我的脑海中了。

　　4年来，所发生的事教我必须乐观，但这种想法不是立刻来找我的。头两年在纽约我真的失望了，忧郁家庭的搬家，我不得不换了三所学校读书。我并不很了解我是什么或者我应该做什么。母亲改嫁，事情对我来说变得更加复杂了。过一段时间之后，我的继父和我才习惯了对方。我常常难过，并认为“艰难的时期”遥遥无期。

　　我的责任在家庭中增加了很多，因为我知道的英文比家里的其他人要多。我写的信件，填写表格，在与入境处人员面试时翻译，带我的爷爷奶奶去看医生并且在那翻译，甚至与公司的代表讨论电话费。

　　以我的经验，我学到的一个重要的规则：几乎所有的普通麻烦最终都会消失!只要你没有放弃，好的结果最后肯定回到来，只要一点等待!我相信，我的生活结果将会是好的，尽管它不会那么容易。

　　Dear Friend,

　　The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.

　　And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.

　　Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.

　　But am I good enough?

　　I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.

　　Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.

　　The promise that paid off

　　The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:

　　You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.

　　I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.

　　Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.

　　Free test and brochure

　　We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.

　　Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.

　　Sincerely,

　　Kristi Holl, Instructor
