English Original
John is thirteen and has been in middle school for two years. He lives in a small village nearly five kilometers from school. Every morning, after a quick breakfast, he runs to school to be on time. His father wanted to borrow money to buy him a bike, but John knew his mother was often ill and his father spent much on her medicine. He disagreed and kept running. Now, he is strong, never late, and often praised by his teachers.
Last week, at the school sports meeting, John won the boys' 800-meter, 1500-meter, and 3000-meter races, breaking two school records. He earned three gold medals, became known throughout the school, and received congratulations from classmates and teachers. He was thrilled and shared the news with his grandmother as soon as he got home.
"I broke two school records today, Granny!" he exclaimed.
To his surprise, his grandmother was not happy. After a moment's thought, she said, "I'm sorry to hear that. We have no money to pay for them, you know!"
中文翻译
约翰今年十三岁,上初中已经两年了。他住在一个小村庄,离学校将近五公里远。每天早晨,他匆匆吃完早餐后,就跑着去上学,以确保准时到校。他的父亲曾想借钱给他买辆自行车,但约翰知道母亲经常生病,父亲为她的医药费花了不少钱。他不同意买自行车,坚持每天跑步上学。如今,他身体强壮,从不迟到,还经常受到老师的表扬。
上周,在学校运动会上,约翰赢得了男子800米、1500米和3000米赛跑冠军,并打破了两项校纪录。他获得了三枚金牌,全校闻名,还收到了同学和老师们的祝贺。他非常兴奋,一回到家就把这个好消息告诉了奶奶。
“奶奶,我今天打破了两项校纪录!”他喊道。
令他惊讶的是,奶奶并不高兴。她想了一会儿,说道:“听你这么说我很难过。你知道的,我们可没钱赔啊!”
