新闻里登载了意大利面条之事后，
After the spaghetti story appeared in the news,
大家急急忙忙赶往超市。

嗯，去年，在开学的第一天，
Well, last year, on the first day of school,
我妹妹把一张纸条贴在我背上，上面写道“大家好！”，
my sister put a piece of paper on my back that said “Please say hello.”
学校里整个早上
…
All morning at school…
我不幸运的一天
My unlucky day
我一直记得那个星期一。
I will always remember that Monday.
上一周我们进行了期中测试，
We had a mid-exam last week,
我以为它仅仅是次摸底测试，
I thought the exam was just one that knew how to study.
我没有好好答卷，
I didn’t answer well,
其结果给我带来了一连串的意外。
as a result, that gave me a lot of unexpected.
在星期一的早晨，
On Monday morning,
我的闹钟失灵了，
my alarm didn’t go off,
我睡过头了，
I overslept,
赶忙起床穿上衣服，
hurried to get up and put on my clothes,
骑车直奔学校，
I
rode my bike to school quickly.
我正要使劲加快速度，
I was just about to ride more quickly,
就在
这时一只疯狗撞倒了车子，
when a running dog knocked down my bike,
车子坏了，幸好我安然无恙。
the bike was broken. Luckily, I was OK.
我只好独步到学校，
So I just walked to school,
我迟到了一节课，
I was one class late.
使我感到惊讶的是：
To my surprise,
第一节课的老师要我下节课上在全班同学面前说说成绩太差的原因。
the teacher of the first class asked me to tell the reason for bad grade next class in front of the whole class.
我无法相信我的物理成绩会那么惨。
I couldn’t believe I did so badly in physics.
接着在第二节课上，
Next, in the second class,
化学老师又把我们成绩太差的同学在全班同学面前狠狠地教训了一顿。
the chemical teacher also taught us a lesson well because of bad grades in front of the class.
在最后一节课上我因数学没考好又被受罚，
In the last class, I was punished for bad math grades.
这接二连三的意外让我忍受不了我感到又被同学冷落了，
A lot of unexpected let me unbearable and I feel left out.
我终于明白了成绩好人人夸，
Finally I saw that good grades make one popular,
成绩差常训骂。
bad grades make one punished.
我想从今天起我必须竭尽全力学习，
I think I must try my best to work harder from now on,
好让老师欢喜别让他们失望。
this will make teachers happy, do not let them down.
多么倒霉的一天啊！
What an unlucky day it was!
上周星期六法语课后，
Last Saturday after my French course,
我决定开车去市场买做饭用的肉馅，
I decided to drive to the market to buy a meat pie for dinner.
就在我朝西行走时，
As I was heading west,
看见公路中央的一辆大卡车，
I saw a huge truck in the middle of the road.
已经发生了一起事故，
There had been an accident,
周围有许多警察局人员。
and there were many police officers around.
我转身决定去附近的一家商场，
I turned around and decided to go to a nearby mall.
然而我迷失了去商场的路。
However, I missed the road that led to the mall.
接着我看见了卖鸡丝面的餐厅，
Then I saw a restaurant that sold chicken noodles.
我走进餐厅，那位女士，餐厅主人，
I went inside and the lady, who was the owner,
给我端上来最美味的鸡丝面。
served me the most delicious bowl of chicken noodles ever.
我已经获得了意外的发现！
I had made an unexpected discovery!
我如此高兴以至于取消了前往市场的计划。
I’m so glad that I cancelled my plan to go to the market.
你为什么没交科学作业呢？
Why didn’t you hand in your science homework?
在我开始做作业之前，
Before I could start working on it,
有人登门来问事，
someone came into my house to ask me about some things,
花了很长时间。
it took me a long time.
今天早上你为什么没洗澡呢？
Why didn’t you take a shower this morning?
到我起床的时候，
By the time I got up,
妹妹已经走进了浴室。
my sister had already gone into the bathroom.
你为什么放学后得步行回家呢？
Why did you have to walk home from school?
到我走出校门的时候，
By the time I left my school,
校车已经开走了。
the school bus had already left.
Good habits achieve beautiful life.
Try to be your best
