A Surprise Party | 惊喜派对

English Original

We had just moved into a new school district when my brother was invited to a surprise birthday party. He didn't want to go because he couldn't recall ever meeting the birthday boy.

"Ridiculous!" said my mother. "If he didn't know you, his mother wouldn't have invited you." And with that, she sent him off to have a good time.

When Dave came home, Mom wanted to know how it had gone.

"Well," he said glumly, "We got there and everyone hid behind a couch. Then, when the boy came in, we all jumped up and yelled, 'SURPRISE!' And he pointed straight at me and shouted, 'Who is he?'"


中文翻译

我们刚搬到一个新学区,我哥哥就被邀请参加一个惊喜生日派对。他不想去,因为他怎么也想不起见过那个过生日的男孩。

“太荒唐了!”我妈妈说,“如果他不认识你,他妈妈怎么会邀请你呢?”说完,她就打发他去好好玩。

戴夫回到家后,妈妈很想知道派对进行得怎么样。

“唉,”他沮丧地说,“我们到了那里,大家都藏在沙发后面。然后,当那个男孩进来时,我们都跳起来大喊‘惊喜!’。结果他直接指着我喊道:‘他是谁?’”
