8 Change of Heart

CHAPTER 8 CHANGE OF HEART The days fly by, and soon it's December. Mrs. Beamster, our librarian, reads us a book about Christmas. It's called The Worst Christmas Pageant Ever. It's funny! WOW! COOL! HA! HA! HA!

第八章改变心意日子过得飞快，很快就到了十二月。 我们的图书管理员比姆斯特夫人给我们读了一本关于圣诞节的书。 这是史上最糟糕的圣诞庆典。 这很有趣!哇!太酷了!哈!哈!哈!

In class, Mrs. Green says Christmas isn't about presents, but about kindness. She says all year people think about themselves. Then comes Christmas, and for one day, they think about others. They're polite and considerate of one another. A. I'M THINKING ABOUT ME TODAY. OH, OK. B. I'M THINKING ABOUT YOU. HERE'S YOUR PRESENT. THANK YOU. THAT'S SWEET.

在课堂上，格林夫人说圣诞节不是关于礼物，而是关于善良。 她说一年四季人们都在想着自己。 然后是圣诞节，有一天，他们会想着别人。 他们彬彬有礼，互相体谅。 今天我在想我自己。 哦,好吧。我在想你。 这是你的礼物。谢谢你！ 这是甜的。

Then the day after Christmas, they are pushing and shoving to return the presents they don't want-wrong size, wrong color, wrong present. Mrs. Green says if the spirit of Christmas lasted for 365 days, the world would be a better place. I bet all the shops at the the mall would agree with her. MOVE IT. HURRY UP! QUIT PUSHING! WRONG SIZE.

然后在圣诞节后的第二天，他们就会推推搡搡地退回他们不想要的礼物——错误的尺寸、错误的颜色、错误的礼物。 格林夫人说，如果圣诞节的精神能持续365天，世界将会变得更美好。 我敢打赌商场里所有的商店都会同意她的说法。 移动它。快点!退出推!错误的大小。
