Grandma’s Super Secret

Noah’s grandma was moving into an apartment. He and his parents were going to her house to help her clean up and pack. “ I hope this doesn’t take all day, ” Noah thought on the drive over. “ I have lots of stuff, ” Grandma said when they arrived. “ I have some things that you’ll be very excited about, Noah. ”

诺亚的奶奶搬进了一间公寓。 他和他的父母要去她家帮她打扫卫生和收拾行李。 ”我希望这不会花上一整天的时间，”诺亚在开车过来时想。 ”我有很多东西他们到达了。 ”我有些事情你会很兴奋的，诺亚。”

Noah smiled politely. Grandma really did have lots of stuff. But it was mostly dishes, vases, and old pictures. None of that was exciting. Mom and Dad started sorting items in the living room. Grandma was going to take some of those things to her new apartment.

诺亚礼貌地笑了笑。奶奶确实有很多东西。 但大部分是盘子、花瓶和旧画。这些都不令人兴奋。 爸爸妈妈开始在客厅整理物品。 奶奶打算把这些东西带到她的新公寓。

She was going to donate the rest of them. “ Come with me, Noah, ” Grandma said. “ I have something to show you. ” They went into a small room. Noah saw lots of long, white boxes. “ What’s in those boxes?” he asked. “ See for yourself, ” Grandma said. Noah opened a box. It was filled with comic books. Each was wrapped in plastic.

她打算把剩下的钱捐出去。 ”跟我来，诺亚，”奶奶说。“我有东西要给你看。” 他们走进一个小房间。诺亚看到了很多长长的白色盒子。 ”那些盒子里有什么？”他问。“你自己看看，”奶奶说。 诺亚打开了一个盒子。里面装满了漫画书。每个都用塑料包裹。

“ I didn’t know you liked comic books, Grandma! ” Grandma chuckled. “ I’ve been collecting them since I was a little girl. Some are pretty old. Most are in mint condition though. ” “ What does that mean?” Noah asked. “ Comic books are graded on their condition, ” Grandma said.

”我不知道你喜欢漫画书，奶奶！” 奶奶笑了。“我小时候就开始收集它们。 有些已经很老了。不过，大多数都处于薄荷状态。” ”这是什么意思？”诺亚问。 ”漫画书是根据它们的状况来评分的，”奶奶说。

“ If a comic book is torn or damaged, it’s in poor condition. When a comic book still looks brand-new, it’s in mint condition. ” “ If a comic book is in mint condition, is it worth a lot of money?” Noah asked. “ Sometimes, ” Grandma said. “ A comic book’s value depends on different things.

”如果漫画书被撕裂或损坏，说明它的状况很差。 当一本漫画书看起来还是崭新的时候，它就处于崭新的状态。” ”如果一本漫画书完好无损，它值很多钱吗？”诺亚问。 ”有时，”奶奶说。“漫画书的价值取决于不同的东西。

Some comic books are rare. Some contain the first appearance of a superhero. Others were illustrated by a famous artist. Those comic books can be very valuable. Of course, a comic book is only worth the price someone is willing to pay for it. ” Grandma took out a small box and unlocked it. “ These are my most valuable comic books. This one is the first issue of Super Comics.

有些漫画书很少见。有些是超级英雄的首次亮相。 还有一些是由一位著名艺术家画的。那些漫画书可能很有价值。 当然，一本漫画书只值有人愿意为此付出的代价。” 奶奶拿出一个小盒子，打开了锁。 ”这些是我最珍贵的漫画书。这是《超级漫画》的第一期。
