1. My First Ride to Malaysia by Train

导读: 第一次乘坐火车去马来西亚，漫长、枯燥的长途旅行令＂我＂无比厌烦。车窗外淳朴的村民们热情

地挥手向旅客们致意，＂我＂立刻来了精神，身边的景物似乎也焕发了生机。

My First Ride to Malaysia by Train

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and

cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. ①Often whole families stood outside their homes

and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple

village people of Malaysia. I was moved.

I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train.

I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to

read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.

②It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru (柔佛巴鲁——马来西亚城市）was just another city like Singapore, so I ③was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows

of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive, I decided to wave back.

From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and

decided to ④join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak

to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.

The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my

watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked

at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I

threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.

I ⑤looked forward to the return journey.

第一次坐火车去马来西亚

一路行来，到处可见微笑的孩子们。他们清楚地知道火车经过他们家门的时间，那个时候就会站在铁

路边向那些素昧平生的驶向槟榔屿的旅客们挥手欢呼。他们还常常会全家出动，站在门外挥手、微笑，好像火车上是他们最爱的亲人。这就是马来西亚淳朴的村民，我为之感动。

之前我总是乘飞机或开车去马来西亚，这是我第一次坐火车。我特别不喜欢长途火车旅行，于是带上了一堆读过的、没读过的杂志，来消磨时光。我四下环顾，车厢里没有一张熟悉的面孔。我叹了口气，坐下来继续读那本《经济学》。

不久之后，火车穿越新柔长堤，进入了马来西亚半岛。柔佛巴鲁是一个像新加坡一样的城市，车外人群熙熙攘攘，我丝毫提不起兴趣。穿过这座城市之后，一排排橡胶树、绵延数里的绿地映入了我的眼帘。随后我看到了第一个村庄，这时我立刻来了精神，我决定也向他们挥手致意。

从那时起，我的旅程就开始变得有趣了。我把那些杂志扔进垃圾桶，决定融入马来西亚的生活。从此一切都开始充满了生机。青山好像在和我说话，树木也好像在向我微笑。我新奇地看着车外的一切，就好像是第一次看到它们一样。

时间过得很快，直到感觉到饥肠辘辘的时候，我才想起还没有吃午饭。我看了看手表，吃惊地发现已经是下午3点了。不久火车在巴特沃思停了下来。我看着周围的人们。他们看起来是那样美丽。当叔叔面带微笑出现在我面前时，我抱住他，给了他一个大大的拥抱。以前我可从没有这样做过。他似乎有些吃惊，不过很快在他饱经风霜的脸上就浮现出了温暖而开心的笑容。我们挽着手臂朝他的车走去。

我已经开始期待回程之旅了。

2. Where My Rainbow Has Gone?

导读：雨后的彩虹色彩斑斓，就好像年少时我们心中那些美好的希望和梦想。从某种意义上来讲，每个人

都需要自己的＂彩虹＂来照亮人生之路。

Where My Rainbow Has Gone?

When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers,

Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only

in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own

way.

It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. ①As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns,

dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked

beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.

＂Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing

to paint.＂ She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got

to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard.

There on the road in front of my house, we painted bit stripes of colors across the pavement. Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!

The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car ②in the distance and jumped up as I recognized

the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car ③pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.

My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. ④Her eyes glaring, she shouted, ＂What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed

the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!＂ I stood there ⑤glaring back at her

for a minute, angry because she had insulted my art.

＂Now go clean it up!＂ Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as

I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.

Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe

when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need sort

of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.

我的＂彩虹＂去了哪里？

小时候，整个世界就像一个大操场。故事发生的那年夏天，我住在佐治亚州的康耶斯。当时我读二年

级，我的好朋友斯蒂芬妮刚上一年级。我们的父母都要工作，因而大多数时间他们都是让我们自己去学校。

那是一个炎热的午后，我们决定在斯蒂芬妮家的地下室玩一个冒险的游戏。当我打开地下室的门，出

现在我们面前的是一个大大的房间，里面装满了奇妙的东西，诸如枪、娃娃和旧衣服等。我跑下楼梯，看

到一个红色的金属罐，罐子里面是涂料。我顺着它望过去，那儿还有很多亮色的涂料，像紫色、橙色、蓝

色和绿色等。

＂斯蒂芬妮，今天我们有事可做了！拿些刷子来！我们开始粉刷吧！＂听着我的秘密计划，她兴奋地

尖叫着，我们马上开工了。我们把所有能找到的刷子都拿出来，然后把涂料搬到我家的院子里。在我家房

前的马路上，我们开始画彩色的斑马线。一条又一条，那些色彩汇成了一道美丽的＂彩虹＂。真是太棒了！

夕阳西沉，我看到有一辆汽车从远处驶来。认出那是我妈妈的车后，我一跃而起。我迫不及待地想向

妈妈展示我的杰作。汽车慢慢进入了车道，看到妈妈的脸色，我知道自己要有大麻烦了。

妈妈关好车门，向我走来。她怒视着我，喊道：＂你究竟在想些什么？你用树叶做城堡，你爬邻居家

的树，这些我都理解。但是今天，你又在家里瞎折腾！＂我站起来，愤怒地回视着她，因为她侮辱了我的

作品。

＂现在把这里弄干净！＂妈妈和我开始清洗马路。眼看着美丽的＂彩虹＂变成了黑黢黢的水泥地，眼

泪顺着我的脸颊流淌下来。

尽管这件事过去很多年了，我依然想知道我的＂彩虹＂去了哪里。我想知道，如果我再长大些，我是

否可以找到它，再也不必把它擦去？我想我们都时常需要某种意义上的＂彩虹＂来照亮我们的人生，让我

们的希望和梦想丰富多彩。
