英语翻译
As a single parent of four children,money was always tight .It was Christmas time,and although there wasn’t money for a lot of gifts,we planned to celebrate with a family party .But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping.
They planned weeks ahead of time ,asking eacher other what they wanted for Christmas.luckily,I have saved $120 for presents to share by all five of us .The big day arrived.I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and reminded them to look for gifts of about four dollars each.Then everyone scattered.We had two hours to shop.Then we would meet back at the “Santa’s Workshop.”
Driving home,everyone was in high Christmas spirits except my younger daughter,Tina,who was unusual quiet.She had only one small,flat bag with a few candies—fifty-cent candies!I was so angry,but I didn’t say anything until we got home.I called her into my bedroom and closed the door,ready to be angry again.This is what she told me:
“ I was looking around thinking of what to buy ,and I stopped to read the title cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl,four years old.And all she wanted for Christmas was a doll .So I took the card off the tree and bought the doll for her.We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.” I never felt so rich as I did that day.

作为四个孩子的单亲妈妈,钱总是很紧张,圣诞节到了,尽管没有足够的钱去买一大堆的礼物,但是我们仍然计划开个家庭聚会来庆祝一下,对于孩子们来说最兴奋的事情就是圣诞购物了.
他们在圣诞节前好几个周就开始规划了,每个人想要的礼物,幸运的是,为了我们五个人的礼物,我积攒了120美金,这天终于来了,我给每个孩子20美金的清单,让他们找礼物,每个礼物大约在4美金左右.每个孩子都尖叫着.我们有2个小时的购物时间,然后在santa’s的店铺那会合
开车回家的途中,每个孩子除了小女儿Tina ,他们都处于兴奋状态,Tina ,超乎寻常的安静,她只拿了一个很小的盒子.里面装了些50 美分的蜡烛.我非常生气,可是直到我们回家我都没有说什么,我把她交道我的卧室,关上门,准备发火,下面是她对我说的话:
当我寻找着要买什么的时候,我看见在付出树上有个卡片,是关于一个4岁小女孩的.她只希望在圣诞节能得到一个玩具,所以我就拿下了卡片,把这个礼物送给了她.我们已经有这么多礼物,她却什么都没有.我从来都没有感觉到像那天那么富有.
我是一个单身母亲,有四个小孩,钱总是不经用。圣诞节到了,尽管没有钱买很多礼物,但我们还是计划举办一个家庭聚会来庆祝。而对孩子们来说,最兴奋的,莫过于圣诞购物的乐趣。
他们早几个星期就已经计划好了,互相询问想要什么圣诞礼物。幸运的是,我存了120美元,可以用来买我们五个人的礼物。那个重要的日子终于来临,我给每个孩子20美元,提醒他们找几份大约四美元一份的礼物,然后大家分头行动。我们有两个小时...

我是一个单身母亲,有四个小孩,钱总是不经用。圣诞节到了,尽管没有钱买很多礼物,但我们还是计划举办一个家庭聚会来庆祝。而对孩子们来说,最兴奋的,莫过于圣诞购物的乐趣。
他们早几个星期就已经计划好了,互相询问想要什么圣诞礼物。幸运的是,我存了120美元,可以用来买我们五个人的礼物。那个重要的日子终于来临,我给每个孩子20美元,提醒他们找几份大约四美元一份的礼物,然后大家分头行动。我们有两个小时的时间购物;然后我们会在“圣诞老人工作坊”集合。
开车回家的路上,所有人都沉浸在圣诞的喜悦之中,但小女儿蒂娜却出奇的安静。她只买了一个扁扁的小袋,装着一些糖果——50美分的糖果!我很生气,但直到我们回家前我都没有说什么,我叫她来我的卧室,关上门,准备再次发火。这时她告诉我:
“我正四处观望看有什么可以买的,然后我停下来阅读”奉献树“上的小卡片。有一张是给一个小女孩的,四岁大,她想要的圣诞礼物是一个玩具娃娃,所以我把卡片从树上取下来,然后买了娃娃给她,我们有这么多,而她什么都没有。”
我从未像那一天感觉那么富有。
