托福閱讀美文節(jié)選《用英語點亮人生》
Once there was a boy, who listened to a wise old man, and thus began to learn about The Present. 從前有個男孩，他聽了一位智慧老人的話，于是開始了解關于“現(xiàn)在 / 禮物”的事。 The old man and the boy had known each other for more than a year, and enjoyed talking together. 老人和男孩已經(jīng)認識一年多了，兩個人很談得來。
One day the old man said, “It is called simply ‘The Present’ because, of all the gifts you might receive, you will find this present is the most valuable one.” 有一天老人說：“它就叫 ‘現(xiàn)在 / 禮物’，因為在所有你可能得到的禮物中，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)這個禮物是最有價值的。” “Why is it so valuable?” the boy asked. “為什么它那么有價值呢?”男孩問。 The old man explained. “Because when you receive this gift, you become happier and better able to do whatever you want to do.” 老人解釋道：“因為當你得到這個禮物的時候，你會變得更快樂，你想做什么都能做得更好。”
“Wow!” the little boy exclaimed, although not fully understanding. “I hope someone gives me The Present someday. Maybe I’ll get it for my birthday.” “哇!”小男孩驚叫起來，盡管不是很明白，“我希望有一天會有人送我這個‘現(xiàn)在/ 禮物’。也許在我生日的時候會有人送給我。” Then the boy ran off to play. 然后小男孩就跑去玩了。
