Please send me a card
原文
How many cards did the writer send?
Postcards always spoil my holidays.
Last summer, I went to Italy.
I visited museums and sat in public gardens.
A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian.
Then he lent me a book.
I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word.
Everyday I thought about postcards.
My holidays passed quickly,
but I did not send cards to my friends.
On the last day I made a big decision.
I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards.
I spent the whole day in my room,
but I did not write a single card!
译文
作者寄了多少张明信片?
明信片总是把我的假期搅得一团糟。
去年夏天,我去了意大利。
我参观了博物馆,还坐在公共花园里休息。
一位友好的服务员教了我几句意大利语。
之后他还借给我一本书。
我读了几行,但一个词儿也不懂。
我每天都想着明信片的事。
假期很快就过去了,
但我却没有给朋友们寄任何卡片。
在最后一天,我下了一个大决心。
我早早起床,买了三十七张明信片。
我一整天都待在房间里,
却一张卡片都没写!
