Old Jacket,New Jacket

Old jacket, new jacket.

旧夹克，新夹克。

Mom held up a faded blue jacket. This jacket looks like it will fit you, Iris, said Mom. Iris looked at the jacket. It was her sister's old jacket. Dana always wore it with her jeans.

妈妈举着一件褪了色的蓝色夹克。“艾瑞斯，这件夹克你穿应该合身，” 妈妈说道。艾瑞斯看着这件夹克，这是姐姐达娜的旧夹克。达娜以前总 是配着牛仔裤穿它。

Iris shook her head. I don't want that old thing, said Iris. I want a new jacket to wear with my jeans. But this is a good jacket, said Mom. It will look good on you, Iris.

艾瑞斯摇了摇头。 “我才不要那件旧东西。”艾瑞斯说。 我想要一件新夹克来配我的牛仔裤。 “但这件夹克很不错呀。”妈妈说。 “艾瑞斯，你穿会很好看的。”

At first Iris felt sad. Then she felt mad. Dana's old jacket was not the same as a new one. Iris wanted a jacket that was just for her. Iris stared at the jacket. She wanted to make it special. What could she do? She put a heart pin on it. That didn't look right, but the pin gave Iris an idea.

一开始艾瑞斯很难过，接着她又生气了。达娜的旧夹克和新夹克根本不一样。 艾瑞斯想要一件只属于自己的夹克。她盯着这件旧夹克，想把它变得独一无二。 她能怎么做呢？她别了个爱心胸针上去，看起来不太搭，但这个胸针给了艾瑞斯一个主意。

Mom, can I use some things in your sewing box? Iris asked. Sure, said Mom. Iris opened the sewing box. She took out some red cloth and some white cloth. She cut the red cloth in the shape of a heart. Oh, I see what you are doing, her mom said. Do you want some help?

“妈妈，我能用用你缝纫箱里的东西吗？”艾瑞斯问。 “当然可以。”妈妈说。 艾瑞斯打开缝纫箱，拿出了一些红布和白布。 她把红布剪成了爱心的形状。 “哦，我知道你要做什么啦。”妈妈说，“需要我帮忙吗？”

Yes, please, said Iris. I want red hearts and white stars. Okay, said Mom. You cut out the hearts. I'll sew them on. Iris cut out three red hearts. Her mom put one heart on the back of the jacket. She put two hearts on the front of the jacket.

“好呀，麻烦你啦。”艾瑞斯说，“我想要红爱心和白星星。” “好呀。”妈妈说，“你把爱心剪出来，我来把它们缝上去。” 艾瑞斯剪了三个红爱心，妈妈把一个爱心缝在了夹克的后背。 她把另外两个爱心缝在了夹克的正面。
