《拍照日》，作者：吉尔·谢尔曼。 绘图：马库斯·卡特勒。 思考问题： 波比在拍照日学到了什么道理？

Poppy's Picture Prep Poppy beamed at her reflection in the mirror. Her new dress was absolutely perfect. It was her favorite shade of blue and had a row of bows down the front. She adjusted her beaded necklace. All she needed now were her fancy dress shoes.

波比的拍照准备 波比对镜中的自己笑开了花。 她的新裙子简直完美极了。 那是她最爱的蓝色，裙身前襟还排着一排蝴蝶结。 她调整了一下自己的串珠项链。 现在就差她那双精致的礼鞋了。

Mom, Poppy exclaimed as she ran into the kitchen. Have you seen my dress shoes? Poppy's mother was making her famous fruit punch My goodness, sweetheart, why are you all dressed up today? She asked I'm trying on my dress for picture day tomorrow

“妈妈！”波比大喊着冲进厨房。 你看见我的礼鞋了吗？ 波比的妈妈正在做拿手的水果宾治：“天哪，宝贝，你今天怎么打扮得这么隆重呀？” 波比回答：“明天是拍照日，我试穿一下我的裙子。”

Poppy rolled her eyes. Her mom didn't understand that picture day was seriously important. It was permanent. Her class picture would be in the yearbook forever. Poppy grabbed a cup of punch and started to gulp it down. Returning to the kitchen with the shoes, Poppy's mom yelled, Oh, sweetheart, you spilled your punch!

波比翻了个白眼。 妈妈根本不懂拍照日有多么重要。 这张照片可是要永久保存的。 全班合影会一直留在毕业年册里呀。 波比拿了一杯宾治就大口喝了起来。 妈妈拿着鞋子回到厨房，大声喊道：“哦，宝贝，你把宾治洒了！”

Gasping, Poppy looked down. She couldn't go to school picture day like this. It'll be all right, her mom said positively. I'll wash it tonight. It'll be good as new. Now, get changed. We have an appointment with the eye doctor, remember?

波比倒吸一口凉气，低头看去。 她可不能穿成这样去学校拍照呀。 “没事的，”妈妈笃定地说。 我今晚就把它洗干净。 洗完就会跟新的一样啦。 现在，快去换衣服。 我们和眼科医生约好了，还记得吗？

Picture Framed At Dr. Chen's office, Poppy was lost in her thoughts, barely listening to the doctor. She wondered if her mom would be able to get the stain out of her dress. Why don't you go and choose a pair of frames, Dr. Chen suggested. Poppy looked up, confused. Frames? She asked. Yes, Dr. Chen said gently. It's the part of the glasses that holds the lenses. Glasses? Poppy blinked. Mom, do I have to? She pleaded. I'm afraid so, sweetheart, her mom replied. You'll need to wear them most of the time.

挑选镜框 在陈医生的诊所里，波比走了神，几乎没听医生说话。 她一直在琢磨妈妈能不能把裙子上的污渍洗干净。 “你去选一副镜框吧，”陈医生建议道。 波比一脸疑惑地抬起头。 “镜框？” 她问道。 “对呀，”陈医生温柔地说。 镜框就是眼镜上托着镜片的部分呀。 “要戴眼镜？” 波比眨了眨眼。 “妈妈，我一定要戴吗？” 她恳求道。 “恐怕是这样哦，宝贝，”妈妈回答。 大部分时候你都需要戴它哦。
