A MOTHER’S WISDOM 母亲的智慧
by Lori Armstrong, Kelseyville, California
I have always worn my children’s birthstones around my neck. One morning, when I was late for work, my infant son Larry’s topaz birthstone fell from my gold chain. I frantically searched for it, whispering to myself, “I lost my Larry, but I will get him back.”
That day, Larry’s cardiologist called with test results from one of his first checkups. He would need emergency heart surgery. Happily, the operation was a success, and I whispered in Larry’s ear, “I thought I lost you, but I knew I’d get you back.”
我一直会把我孩子的诞生石戴在我的脖子上。有一天早上，我上班迟到了，我的幼儿Larry的黄玉诞生石从我的金项链上掉下来了。我疯狂地寻找它，一边告诉我自己，”我的Larry不见了，但我会把他找回来的。”
就在那一天，Larry的心脏科医生打给我，告诉我Larry的初步检测结果。Larry需要马上进行紧急心脏手术。庆幸地，手术成功了。而我在Larry耳边低语：我以为我失去你了，但我知道我会把你找回来的。“
frantically 疯狂地，焦急的
此处用frantically 直接表达了当时焦急的心情。
eg. I got home to find Lara frantically searching for her keys.
topaz 黄色晶石头
SMALL FORTUNE 小幸运
by Ron Fleming, Fort Drum, New York
While walking across an open, grassy field, I became excited as my hand swooped toward the ground like an eagle attacking its prey. I picked up half of a $5 bill.
I continued to walk around looking for the other half but thought to myself it would be impossible to find it on such a windy day.
As I lifted my head, I spotted the other half of the bill tangled in crabgrass. Somehow, finding two halves of a ripped $5 bill felt better than working for a twenty.
我走过一个空旷的草坪，像老鹰捕食一样，我的手突然猛的扑向草坪，抓起了半张5美金的钞票。
我继续在草坪上寻找另一半，但我觉得今天风这么大，要找到应该没什么可能。
当我抬起头时，我在杂草里发现缠在一起的另外半张钞票。
不知为什么，我觉得找到两张半张、被撕碎的5美金钞票比赚到一张完整的20美金还爽。
walk across 惯用搭配，走过的意思
swoop toward 突然俯冲、猛扑（通常指鸟） 猛地抓起
my hand swooped toward the ground like an eagle attacking its prey.
I did something like someone doing something 此处用老鹰捕食的比喻用法，让人一下子有画面感。
spotted 发现的意思，瞥到的意思，比直接用saw 更能准确体现当时的情况
ripped 撕碎了的
MY MASTERPIECE 我的杰作
by Angela Bradley-Autrey, Deer Park, Washington
I was four, playing outside in the humid Kentucky air. I saw my grandfather’s truck and thought, Granddad shouldn’t have to drive such an ugly truck. Then I spied a gallon of paint. Idea! I got a brush and painted white polka dots all over the truck. I was on the roof finishing the job when he walked up, looking as if he were in a trance.
我在肯塔基州湿润的空气底里玩耍，当时我4岁。我看到我爷爷的卡车时心想：爷爷不应该开这么丑的车。然后，我发现了一桶油漆。灵感来了，我拿来一把刷子把车刷上了白色的波尔卡点。最后我爬到屋顶上，想看看爷爷起床的时候会不会迷上这辆新车。
“Angela, that’s the prettiest truck I’ve ever seen!” Sometimes I think adults don’t stop to see things through a child’s eyes. He could have crushed me. Instead, he lifted my little soul.
“Angela，这是我见过的最美的车！”
有时候我觉得大人不会停下来，透过孩子的眼睛去看世界。
爷爷本可以批评我，但他他没有，他反而捧起我的小心灵。
Masterpiece 杰作
Spied Spy的过去时，Spy也指间谍或密探，动词是找出的意思。这个词用在这里非常妙，形容像间谍一样找到一筒油漆。
in a trance trance 指的是意识上出神的状态，这里形容的是爷爷看到车会不会入了迷的意思，也是用得非常妙
He could have crushed me. Instead, he lifted my little soul.
这最后一句有神奇的效果，提炼整个故事的精华，引发读者的思考。
crush 本指的是压碎、这也可指做出让Angela失望的反应
lift my soul 只能意会，指的是爷爷的反应对Angela的心灵发展是莫大的鼓励
