I'm Growing

我长大了

Look at me! My clothes don't fit. My shirt won't button. My jeans are too short. The waist doesn't snap. My shoes are too tight. My cap won't go on. I'm growing!

你看!我的衣服已经穿不下了。 上衣扣不起来，裤子也变短了，裤腰扣都扣不上， 鞋子紧得不得了，帽子更少不用说。 我长大了!

I have been growing for a long time. Here is a picture of me when I was a baby. I can't believe how little I was! Look how I've grown and grown and grown.

我一直在成长。 这张相片是我还是小宝宝时照的。我以前真的是个小不点呢! 你看我一直长一直长一直长。

I look different now. The features of my face have changed. They are bigger—especially my nose. My arms and legs are longer. So are my body and my neck. I am heavier and taller.

瞧我变得多么不一样。 脸上的五官一个个都变大了，尤其是鼻子。 我的胳膊和腿变长了，身体和脖子也是。 我还变重了，也长高了呢。

While I have been growing on the outside, I've been growing inside, too. My bones are bigger. My muscles are bigger. So are my brain, my heart, my lungs, my stomach, and my other organs.

不只从外表看我长大了， 身体里面也在不停地成长呢。 我的骨架变大了，肌肉也变壮了。 还有我的大脑、心脏、肺、胃和其他器官，全都变大了。

And while everything inside me grows, the skin that covers me grows, too. No matter how big your bones get, your skin will always fit. You may pop your buttons, but you can't pop your skin!

身体里面成长的同时，紧紧包着我的皮肤也在生长。 无论你的骨架变得多大，皮肤永远都是刚刚好。 你也许会撑开扣子，不过绝对不可能撑破自己的皮肤!
