But the teacher cried 可是老师哭了
The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled. His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum. Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.
六岁的约翰娇生惯养。他的父亲知道这一点,可他的祖父母仍然宠着他。这孩子几乎寸步不离他的祖母。他想要什么不是哭,就是闹。他第一天上学才离开祖母的怀抱。
When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.Was school all right? she asked, Did you get along all right? did you cry?
约翰放学了,他奶奶在门口接他并问道:学校怎么样?你过的好吗?哭了没有?
Cry? John asked. No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!
哭?约翰问,不,我没哭,可老师哭了。
知识点讲解:
1.spoiled
被宠坏了,一般都有点负面的色彩,最好别用它形容你的朋友
eg:Not so much wayward as that spoiled child.
与其说是任性,倒不如说是被宠坏的孩子。
2.temper tantrum
temper:性情,脾气;tantrum:突然爆发,在口语中也可以表示发脾气。
eg:How can a store throw a temper tantrum?
一个商店怎么可能会发脾气。
