英文：
Cheer Up

It's nine o'clock on a beautiful spring morning.
Ken went out to exercise very early and just returned home.
He sees his sister, Tracy, who doesn't look very happy.
Ken: Cheer up! Tracy. It's such a nice day today. Why do you look so down?
Tracy: I have to stay here and help today, but I would like to go out with my friends.
Ken: I don't know why you can't, I'll stay here and help mom.
Tracy: Not mom, Iris. She wants me to do her a favor.
Ken: Iris? Have you heard from her already? She's only been in the United States a few days. I'd love to know how she likes living in California.
Tracy: She doesn't. She called last night and said she didn't feel well. She doesn't know how she
Ken: What's that? I know a good place where they sell dried beef and tofu. I think I'll buy some for her.
Tracy: That's very nice, but she doesn't want food as much as things for cooking food, like a wok.
Ken: A what? You must be kidding …
Tracy: No, I'm not kidding. I don't know how I'm going to send her such a big thing, and she wants me to mail it express.
Ken: Express? That could be expensive.
Tracy: I know, and she also wants a pair of kung fu shoes.
Ken:There is a shoe store where the bus stop is, they might have kung fu shoes. But why does she need them, Iris doesn't know anything about kung fu, does she?
Tracy: No, but the shoes aren't for her. She wants to give them to her new friend who has helped her a lot. He lives in her apartment building and is learning kung fu, but his shoes size is not very common, it's size 44.
Ken: Size 44. I don't know where you can find the size as big as that.
Tracy: Neither do I. I don't know why I agreed to mail her these things.
Ken: I know why, because you are the nicest sister in the world.

高興一點！

現(xiàn)在是一個美麗的春天早上九點。
肯很早就出去做運動而剛好回家。
他看到他的姊姊，翠西，她看起來不很快樂。
肯：高興一點！翠西。今天的日子這樣好。你為何看起來這么悶悶不樂？
翠西：我今天不得不留在這里幫忙,，但是我想與我的朋友們外出。
肯：我不知道為什么你不能，我留在這里幫助媽媽。
Tracy: Not mom, Iris. She wants me to do her a favor.
翠西：不是媽媽，是愛麗絲。她要我?guī)退�一個忙。
肯：愛麗絲？你已經(jīng)接到她的信嗎？她才在美國住幾天。我很想知道她喜不喜歡住在加州。
翠西：她不喜歡。她昨晚打電話來說她覺得不舒服。她不知道怎樣生病的。她認為也許是食物，所以她要我?guī)退�一個忙。
肯：是什么事？我知道一個好地方，他們賣牛肉乾和豆腐乾。我想我買一些給她。
翠西：那太好了，但是與其說她要食物不如說她要煮食物的東西，像鍋子。
肯：一個什么？你一定在開玩笑…
翠西：不，我不是在開玩笑。但是我不知道將如何把這樣大的東西寄給她，而她要我用快運郵寄它。
肯：快運？那可能很貴。
翠西：我知道，而且她也想要一雙功夫鞋。
肯：在公交車車站那里有一家鞋店，他們有功夫鞋。但是她為什么需要它們，愛莉絲對功夫一無所知，不是嗎？
翠西：是的，但鞋子不是給她的。她想把鞋給幫助她很多的新朋友。他住在她的公寓里，而且正在學(xué)功夫，但是他的鞋子尺碼很不常見，是44號。
肯：44號。我不知道你在哪里能找到那樣大的尺碼。
翠西：我也是。我不知道我為什么同意給她寄這些東西。
肯：我知道為什么，因為你是世界上最好的姐姐。
