第18單元 音樂(lè)禮物
Jen had a best friend whom she loved dearly. They saw each other or talked on the phone everyday. Christmas was coming up and Jen wanted to do something special for her friend. She knew her friend liked the classical song Pachabel's Canon and she knew her friend loved the violin. Jen knew what to give her best friend.
珍有個(gè)最要好的朋友,她們每天都會(huì)見(jiàn)面或者打電話聊天。圣誕節(jié)快到了,珍想為她的朋友做點(diǎn)特別的事。她知道她的朋友很喜歡古典樂(lè)曲帕海貝爾的卡農(nóng),她也知道朋友喜歡小提琴,珍想到要送最好的朋友什么禮物。
She walked down the hallway and went to her parent's closet. There she took out an oldviolin no one played. Jen looked in the pile of CD's her family owned and found Pachabel'sCanon. She played the song loud. Copying what she heard squeaked out some sounds on the dusty violin.
她走進(jìn)房間,在父母的衣柜里,找到一把沒(méi)人拉的小提琴,并在全家人的CD堆中,找到帕海貝爾的卡農(nóng)CD。她大聲播放音樂(lè),聽(tīng)到什么,就跟著用那把占滿灰塵的小提琴嘎吱嘎吱地拉出聲音。
Four weeks later, it was time to give her friend her present.She sat her friend down, took a deep breath and began to play. The song was a little sharp on the ear at times, but her friend hardly remembered that. Instead, her friend remembered the tremendous love she had for Jen the day she played Pachebel's Canon on the violin for her.
四個(gè)星期后,送禮物的時(shí)刻到了。她請(qǐng)朋友坐下,深吸口氣,然后便開(kāi)始演奏。有時(shí)候曲子聽(tīng)起來(lái)有點(diǎn)刺耳,可是她的朋友幾乎忘了這件事,她只記得珍為她拉小提琴演奏帕海貝爾的卡農(nóng)那天,她好愛(ài)好愛(ài)她。
