A Day in Ancient Rome

古罗马的一天

CHAPTER 1 JOURNEY BACK IN TIME All week, Mrs. Palmer had been hinting about a special project. At last, the time had come to find out what it was. " I hope everyone is ready for a big adventure, " Mrs. Palmer grinned. Then she turned on the whiteboard. Grace leaned over to her friend Lila and whispered, " I love when she uses the whiteboard to show us places. It's like we're really there! ” Lila didn't respond. She looked bored.

第1章 时光回溯之旅 整整一周，帕尔默老师都在暗示有一个特别的项目。终于，到了揭晓谜底的时候。“我希望大家都为这次大冒险做好准备，“帕尔默老师笑着说。然后她打开了白板。 格蕾丝凑到她的朋友莉拉身边，小声说:“我喜欢她用白板给我们展示各地风景的时候。感觉就像我们真的身临其境!“莉拉没有回应。她看起来很无聊。

“ Prepare to travel back in time to ancient Europe. ” Mrs. Palmer's booming voice sent a shiver of excitement through the classroom. " Feel how we bounce up and down on the waves as we cross the ocean! Taste the salty sea air! " Mrs. Palmer knew how to create the perfect mood, and Grace's imagination sparked to life. Grace leaned forward in her chair. She didn't want to miss a thing. A map of the world appeared on the big screen. Grace recognized some of the places on the map.

“准备好穿越时空，回到古代欧洲。“帕尔默老师洪亮的声音让教室里涌起一阵兴奋的涟漪。”感受我们在穿越海洋时，随着海浪上下颠簸的感 觉!闻一闻那带着咸味的海风!” 帕尔默老师很擅长营造恰到好处的氛围，格蕾丝的想象力一下子被点燃了。她身体前倾，坐在椅子上。她不想错过任何细节。 大屏幕上出现了一张世界地图。格蕾丝认出了地图上的一些地方。

Mrs. Palmer touched the screen and the map zoomed in to show a boot-shaped country in Europe. Grace recognized that it was ltaly. Then Mrs. Palmer touched a star labeled Rome that was near the center of the boot. Suddenly, the map disappeared and was replaced by a drawing of five men in long white togas. The words Ancient Rome appeared at the top of the screen. " I wonder who those men are, " thought Grace. “ Or, actually, who they were. "

帕尔默老师触碰了一下屏幕，地图放大，显示出欧洲一个靴子形状的国家。格蕾丝认出那是意大利。接着，帕尔默老师触碰了一下靠近靴子中间的一个标着“罗马”的星星。 突然，地图消失了，取而代之的是一幅五个身着白色长袍的男子的图画。屏幕上方出现了”古罗马”几个字。 “我在想那些人是谁，“格蕾丝心想，“确切地说，他们曾经是谁。"

For the first time, Grace thought about what life was like so long ago. She stared at the picture on the large screen. “ I know it's just a drawing, but they look so real, " she marveled. “ They look as though they're in the middle of a very important conversation! " " Could they be talking about sports or their families?” Grace wondered. Their faces were lit up with so much excitement and feeling. She could almost see their hands moving wildly as they talked.

格蕾丝第一次思考很久以前的生活是什么样的。她凝视着大屏幕上的图片。“我知道这只是幅画，但它们看起来如此真实，“她惊叹道。"他们看起来好像正在进行一场非常重要的谈话!” “他们会不会在谈论体育或者他们的家庭?“格蕾丝暗自思忖。他们的脸上洋溢着如此多的兴奋和情感。她几乎能看到他们边说边挥舞着手。
