回憶我的中學(xué)生活 Remembering My Grade School Days

I began school at seven in accordance with the law in a remote village. Short of funds, the school had only a few classrooms, all poorly constructed. Needless to say, our teachers were few, too. As a pupil I preferred the playground to the classroom and often liked to play tricks on girls, as by hiding insects in their desk drawers.

我按照偏遠(yuǎn)地區(qū)的法定年齡七歲開始上學(xué)。由于資金短缺，學(xué)校只有幾間教室，全部的設(shè)備都很拙劣。不用說，我們的教師也很少。作為一名學(xué)生，我喜歡操場(chǎng)多于教室，常常喜歡在女孩子面前搗蛋，比如把昆蟲藏在她們的抽屜里。

On one occasion, I even grimaced behind the back of our teacher, causing the whole class to break into laughter; however, instead of becoming angry, he merely asked why we were laughing and wondered whether there was anything wrong with him. On another occasion, I punctured the tires of a car parked inside the school by using something sharppointed, leaving the principal frightened and bewildered after he had noticed that. Such were the happy moments in my life at that school. The happiest moment, to me and to all of my schoolmates, however, was the one when the school was letting out at the last bell of the day and we were rushing home as if we would never be back. Once, on our way home, a bunch of naughty students found a crickets' hole and exerted themselves to inject water into it with loud cheers.

有一次，我甚至在我們老師的背后做了個(gè)鬼臉，引起全班哄然大笑；但是，他不是生氣，而是問我們?yōu)槭裁葱Γ�想知道他是否做錯(cuò)什么了。還有一次，我用一些鋒利的東西刺穿一輛車停在學(xué)校的車的輪胎，害怕，困惑的離開。那就是我在學(xué)校里生命中的快樂時(shí)光。然而，對(duì)我和我的同學(xué)來說最幸福的時(shí)刻是星期五的下課鈴聲，我們就像似乎永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)回來的樣子跑回家。有一次，在我們回家的路上，一群調(diào)皮的學(xué)生找到了蟋蟀的孔并大聲歡呼努力將水注入洞里。

The girls were no less frantic than the boys when they were having a good time at such games as jump-rope, hopscotch and battledore and shuttlecock.

女孩沒有男孩瘋狂，她們反而在一些游戲中過得很開心比如說跳繩，跳房子，打羽球，踢毽子。
