The Party
派對(duì)
Cody’s family moved to a new house. His dad got a new job as a professor. Cody liked his new town, but he missed his grandparents. For his birthday, Cody wanted to have a party. His dad said, “Yes,we could even have a band play!”
?【南京大學(xué)、南京師范大學(xué)、蘇州大學(xué)考研專業(yè)課資料,點(diǎn)擊關(guān)注】科迪一家搬進(jìn)了新房子。他爸爸重新找了一份當(dāng)教授的工作??频舷矚g這個(gè)新的城鎮(zhèn),但他又想念他的祖父母??频舷胍e辦一場(chǎng)生日派對(duì)。他爸爸說:“可以,我們甚至可以請(qǐng)一支樂隊(duì)過來(lái)演奏!”
On the day of the party, Cody woke up and rushed to get ready. He started to check his list of things to do. He was so excited! But then he noticed something terrible. There was snow on the ground and lots of it! “Dad!” he yelled. “How can the band play their instruments outside?”
生日當(dāng)天,科迪醒來(lái)之后就開始忙著準(zhǔn)備派對(duì)。他開始核對(duì)清清單,上面寫著他需要做的事。他很激動(dòng)!但他注意到了一個(gè)可怕的事情:他看見地上有雪,而且積雪很多!“爸爸!”他喊道?!斑@樣樂隊(duì)怎么在外面演奏呢?”
Dad said, “We’ll move the stage inside.” It barely fit within the garage because there were some boxes and garbage there. But when they finished, they got a call from the band. They did not want to come in the snow storm.
爸爸說:“我們把舞臺(tái)移到屋子里?!避噹?kù)里除了原有的一些盒子和垃圾,剛好能容下舞臺(tái)。但當(dāng)他們忙活完了之后,樂隊(duì)打了個(gè)電話來(lái)表示不想在大雪天過來(lái)演奏了。
Dad said, “Let’s get someone to perform magic.” But no one would come because of the snow.
爸爸說:“那我們就請(qǐng)魔術(shù)家來(lái)表演魔術(shù)把。”但沒人愿意冒雪前來(lái)。
Finally, Dad said, “Cody, there’s too much snow. We need to cancel the party.”
最后,科迪爸爸說:“兒子,雪太大了,我們把派對(duì)取消吧。”
Yes, sir, Cody said sadly. “It’s going to be a boring birthday,” he predicted. Cody wanted to share his birthday with someone. He wanted to be at his old home. He wanted to see his grandparents.
“好吧,”科迪傷心地說。“這個(gè)生日肯定很無(wú)聊,”他推測(cè)。他想和別人分享生日的喜慶,他想回到老房子,也想見到祖父母。
But then something got his attention. He noticed a car in the driveway. His grandparents owned a car like that!
但他隨后注意到了什么。他看到有輛車開進(jìn)了私人車道。那正是他祖父母的車!
Cody was right. His grandparents came for his birthday! Happy birthday, Cody!We’re sorry we are late. But there was so much snow. It made us go off schedule. We tried to leave a message to tell you.
科迪猜對(duì)了。他祖父母來(lái)為他慶祝生日了!生日快樂,科迪!很抱歉我們遲到了,但路上積雪太多了,我們不得不慢慢前行。本想發(fā)信息告訴你一聲的,
Cody told them what happened. “I’m sorry,” said Grandpa.
科迪把之前的事都和爺爺奶奶說了。“那真是遺憾,”爺爺說。
I was sad, Cody said. “But I’m not anymore. I’m so happy to see you.” Dad brought out Cody’s birthday treat. It was his favorite type, a sundae with whipped cream on top. Then Cody told his grandparents about the new town. It was his best birthday ever.
“我本來(lái)很傷心,”科迪說。“但我現(xiàn)在不傷心了,看到你們我很高興。”他爸爸把生日蛋糕拿了出來(lái)。那是一個(gè)上面鋪滿奶油的圣代冰激淋,是科迪最喜歡吃的類型。隨后,科迪對(duì)爺爺奶奶說了一些新城市的情況。這是他有史以來(lái)最棒的生日。
