　　二十一. I Did a Silly Thing

　　A few years ago, when my family moved to this city, I became interested in soap-box race. That's when I discovered that“it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.”

　　Dad bought a set of tools to make a racing car for me. I just couldn't wait, and one day, while Dad was at work, I decided to have my car going. I looked at the drawings, and I said to myself,“Dude, you can do this.”I got out Dad's toolbox, and I started building. Part A fit into Part B. Part C was a little harder to connect to Part D. It was easy to fix Part E. By the time I got to Part G，I'd made a real mess(混亂) of things. I really regret having done such a silly thing.

　　What did I learn from this experience? Now I know that before I start something, I should know how to finish it.

　　【漢語翻譯】

　　我做了一件傻事

　　幾年前，我們搬到這座城市時，我對肥皂(soap)箱(box)賽車比賽(race)產(chǎn)生了興趣。就是在那時我發(fā)現(xiàn)(discover)了“開始做某件事要比完成它容易地多(far easier)”（即“開始容易結(jié)束難”）的道理。

　　爸爸買了一套工具（A set of tools）要給我做一輛賽車(racing car)。我是急不可耐，然后有一天，爸爸在上班(be at work)時，我決定讓我的小車轉(zhuǎn)起來。我看著圖紙(drawing)。對自己說，“都德，你可以做到。”我拿出了爸爸的工具箱，接著就開始造車了。零件A適合(fit)零件B。零件C連接(connect)到零件D就有點難度。零件E很容易安裝(fix)。到我開始零件G時，我已經(jīng)把事情弄的一團糟。我真的后悔(regret)做了這么一件傻(silly)事。
