笔记
The gift I recently gave to my younger sister is the one I would like to talk about. I gave her a smartphone, which is a big deal for many reasons.
First, I felt an inexplicable pleasure when I saw her bewildered face as she opened the gift. She had been longing to own a smartphone for months. After receiving it from me, she hugged me. She was so happy, but not just because she loved the gift. She was proud of me for knowing what she wanted most.
Second, the cell phone was expensive and I had to save up for the last 7 months to gift her it. I already knew that a smartphone is what she wanted and she would not buy it for herself. So, every time I thought about the moment she would open it, I felt excited.
我想说的是我最近送给妹妹的礼物。我给了她一个手机。
首先,我看到她打开礼物后兴奋的表情的时候体会到一种无法解释的快乐。她一直渴望拥有一部智能手机。在收到我的礼物后,她拥抱了我。她很高兴,我觉得这是一个完美的礼物。
第二,手机还挺贵的,为了买它我不得不存了7个月的钱。我知道她需要智能手机,但她自己买不了。所以每次当我想到她收到这个礼物,我感到很兴奋。
