Introduction. I love shoes, all kinds of shoes. My grandma loves to travel. Last year, she took a trip around the world. She sent my brother postcards from all the places she visited. She sent me shoes.

引言 我爱鞋子，各种各样的鞋子。 我的奶奶很喜欢旅行。 去年，她环游了世界一圈。 她给我哥哥寄了她去过的各个地方的明信片。 她给我寄的是鞋子。

Babouches. First, Grandma sent me some babouches from Morocco. They are soft and comfortable like slippers, but you can wear them outdoors. Grandma says they are made of camel hair. They are easy to slip on and off.

巴布舒鞋。 首先，奶奶从摩洛哥给我寄了几双巴布舒鞋。 它们又软又舒服就像拖鞋一样， 但你可以穿出门。 奶奶说它们是用骆驼毛做的。 穿脱都非常方便。

Klompen. Next, Grandma sent me some klompen from Holland. They make a clip -clop sound when I walk. That's because klompen are made of wood.

荷兰木鞋。 接下来，奶奶从荷兰给我寄了几双荷兰木鞋。 我走路的时候它们会发出咔哒咔哒的声响。 那是因为荷兰木鞋是用木头制作的。

People used to wear them as work shoes on farms and in factories and mines. Today, people wear Kloppen because they are comfortable and they look nice.

以前人们在农场、工厂和矿场工作的时候，都会把它当工作鞋穿。 现在大家穿荷兰木鞋是因为穿着舒服，样子也好看。

GEDDA In GEDDA sandals, I can be much taller. Grandma sent these tall wooden GEDDA from Japan. Both men and women used to wear these sandals with their beautiful silk kimonos. The high wooden platforms kept their kimonos out of the dust and mud.

木屐 穿上木屐，我能长高好多呢。 奶奶从日本给我寄了这些高高的木质木屐。 以前不管男女，穿漂亮的丝绸和服的时候都会搭配这种凉鞋。 高高的木质鞋底能让和服不沾到灰尘和泥浆。
