Tom’s Birthday
It was Tom’s birthday,and he was five years old.He got quite a lot of nice birthday presents from his family,and one of them was a beartiful big drum.
“Who gave him thay thing?”answered Tom’s mother.
“Oh,”said his father.
Of course,Tom liked his drum very much.He made terrible noise with is,but his mother did not mind.His father was working during the day,and Tom was in bed when he got home in the evening,so he did not hear the noise.
But one of the neighbours did not like noise at all.So one morning a few days later she took a sharp knife and went to Tom’s house while he was hitting his drum.She said to him,”Hello,Tom,do you know,there’s something very nice inside your drum.Here is a knitf.Open the frum and let’s find it.”
那天是汤姆五岁的生日，他从家人那里得到了很多不错的礼物，其中有一件礼物是一只漂亮的大鼓。
“这是谁给他的呢？”汤姆妈妈问道。
“哦。”爸爸说。
当然，汤姆非常喜欢这个大鼓。虽然他敲鼓的声音很难听，但妈妈却从不在意。汤姆爸爸因为白天工作，而且当爸爸回家时汤姆已经睡觉了，所以爸爸并没有听见过这些噪音。
但是，他们的一位邻居非常不高兴。几天后的一个早上，当她又一次听到汤姆的噪音时，她带着锋利的小刀来到汤姆家：”嘿，汤姆，你知道吗你的鼓里有好东西，打开它，我们一起找找那好东西吧


如果我没有猜错的，这应该是初中生的阅读理解。孩子，翻译是帮你做了，你的题目也应该可以回答了。可是，知识总是自己拥有比较好。好好学习，天天向上吧。你会成功的。

　　now here's a story that'll males u cry
straight from Taiwan they came
just a girl & a homeboy in no$ no job
no speak no English nobody gonna give'im
the time of day in a city so cold
they made a wish & then they had the strength 2
graduate w/honor & borrowed 50 just 2 consummate
a marriage under GOD who never left their side
gave their children pride raise your voices
high will never die never die

我現在說段令你感傷的故事
他們從臺灣大老遠的過來
單純的倆個小年輕 沒錢沒工作
言語不多 不會說英語 沒人打算施捨點
那段日子的城市生活實在難熬
他們暗下決心 他們有了活下去的勇氣
他們學業未成 借了50dollar勉強度日
他們在露天下完婚 莫失莫忘 不離不棄
他們是他們孩子的驕傲 他們可以對他們的孩子自豪呼喊
這驕傲之聲永遠回蕩 【個人翻譯 請借鑒】
