Show-and-Tell

Show-and-Tell

展示与讲述

Every Monday morning is show-and-tell time in Mr. Francesco’s class. Each week, five students bring something to class. They show and tell their classmates all about it. Brandy’s turn was next week. She was very worried because she didn’t know what to show. Brandy didn’t have any pets.

在弗朗西斯科先生的课堂上，每周一上午是展示和讲述的时间。每个星期，五个学生带一些东西到课堂上。 他们展示并告诉他们的同学关于它的一切。 下星期就轮到布兰迪了。她非常担心，因为她不知道该展示什么。布兰迪没有任何宠物。

She didn’t have any hobbies. Brandy thought and thought. What could she bring for show-and-tell? Last week, Kara brought her pet iguana. The week before, Miyuki performed a magic trick. It was already Friday afternoon. Brandy still didn’t know what she was going to do for show-and-tell.

她没有任何爱好。 布兰迪想了又想。她能为表演带来什么？ 上周，卡拉带来了她的宠物鬣蜥。前一周，美雪表演了一个魔术。 已经是星期五下午了。布兰迪仍然不知道她要为展示和讲述做什么。

“ Is something wrong, Brandy?” asked her mother. “ Mom, what should I do for show-and- tell on Monday?” asked Brandy. “ There are many things you are good at. ” “ Like what?” asked Brandy.

“出什么事了吗，布兰迪?”她妈妈问。 “妈妈，星期一我该展示和讲述什么呢?”布兰迪问。 “你擅长的事情有很多。”“比如什么?布兰迪问。

“ Well, you’re good at math, and . . . ” her mother paused. “ Oh, honey, can you get that jar for me?” Brandy was always ready to help her mother. Three years ago, Brandy’s mother was in a terrible car accident. She could no longer use her legs.

“嗯，你数学很好，而且……她母亲顿了顿。“哦，亲爱的，你能帮我拿那个罐子吗?” 布兰迪随时准备帮助她的母亲。三年前，布兰迪的母亲遭遇了一场可怕的车祸。她再也不能用腿了。

The weekend passed and soon it was Monday morning. It was time for show-and- tell. “ Okay, now it’s Brandy’s turn. What are you going to share with us?” asked the teacher. “ I . . . I’m sorry, Mr. Francesco, ” Brandy said quietly.

周末过去了，很快就到了周一早上。是时候展示和讲述了。 “好了，现在轮到布兰迪了。你要和我们展示什么?老师问。 “我……对不起，弗朗西斯科先生。”布兰迪平静地说。
