Playing with Luke

Luke and I have been best friends since we were in the first grade. We did everything together. We played basketball and rode our bikes. We went swimming together in the summer. Sometimes I would even sleep over at Luke’s house. But last year, something really terrible happened to Luke. One day, he was riding his bicycle to the park.

卢克和我从一年级起就是最好的朋友。我们一起做了一切。 我们打篮球，骑自行车。夏天我们一起去游泳。 有时我甚至会在卢克家过夜。 但去年，卢克发生了一件非常可怕的事情。一天，他骑着自行车去公园。

He was riding really fast because he was late for his baseball game. So, when Luke came to the big road, he couldn’t stop. Luke went right out into the middle of the road. There was a car coming, and the driver couldn’t stop either. The car ran right into my friend Luke. The ambulance had to come and take Luke to the hospital. Luke was really sick and he had to stay in the hospital for three months.

他骑得很快，因为他棒球比赛迟到了。所以，当卢克来到大路时，他停不下来。 卢克径直走到路中间。有一辆车来了，司机也停不下来。 汽车正好撞上了我的朋友卢克。救护车必须来把卢克送到医院。 卢克病得很重，他不得不在医院呆了三个月。

Finally, after waiting for one month, I was allowed to visit him in the hospital. I was so excited I asked my mom if I could buy Luke a present. I thought he would like a new soccer ball. Then my mom told me the bad news. “ Luke cannot use a soccer ball now. Because of his accident, Luke cannot walk, ” she said. What do you mean?” I cried. “ If Luke can’t walk, then how can he play with me?

终于，在等待了一个月后，我被允许去医院探望他。 我太激动了，我问妈妈我能不能给卢克买个礼物。我以为他会喜欢一个新的足球。 然后我妈妈告诉了我这个坏消息。她说：“卢克现在不能用足球。因为他的意外，卢克不能走路。”。 你是什么意思？”我哭了。“如果卢克不能走路，那他怎么能和我玩呢？

Who will I play basketball with?” I said to my mother. Then I began to cry. You can still play with Luke, ” my mother said. “ I can’t play with him, ” I replied. How can he play if he can’t walk?” For many days, I didn’t go to the hospital to see Luke. I became very lonely and sad. I tried to play basketball, but it wasn’t any fun.

我将和谁一起打篮球？”我对我妈妈说。然后我开始哭泣。 你仍然可以和卢克一起玩，”我妈妈说。“我不能和他玩，”我回答。 如果他不能走路，他怎么玩？”很多天来，我都没有去医院看卢克。 我变得非常孤独和悲伤。我试着打篮球，但没什么乐趣。

I went swimming, but it was boring. Then I thought of Luke. I realized that Luke must be even sadder and more bored than I. So finally, one Saturday morning, I went to visit Luke in the hospital. I arrived at the hospital, and slowly I walked toward his door. But I was really scared. I had never talked to a person who had been hurt in an accident. What would I say to him? Maybe he would not want to be friends with me.

我去游泳了，但很无聊。然后我想到了卢克。 我意识到卢克一定比我更悲伤、更无聊。 最后，在一个星期六的早晨，我去医院看望了卢克。我到了医院，慢慢地走向他的门。 但我真的很害怕。我从未和在事故中受伤的人交谈过。 我会对他说什么？也许他不想和我做朋友。

Maybe he’d be mean and angry. When I knocked, I heard a familiar voice say, “ Who’s there?” It’s Richard, ” I responded. I opened his door, and there he was, sitting in a wheelchair. I didn’t know what to say to him, and I wanted to run away. Watch this! ” he shouted. “ I can make my wheelchair go on two wheels. Do you want to see?”

也许他会变得刻薄和愤怒。 当我敲门时，我听到一个熟悉的声音说：“谁在那里？” 我是理查德，”我回答。 我打开他的门，他坐在轮椅上。我不知道该对他说什么，我想逃跑。 注意这个！”他喊道。“我可以让轮椅用两轮行走。你想看吗？”
