My Special, Albeit Late-- April Fools’ Day--Finding the Key
Hello, everyone! I am learning English. Here, I freely translated Chinese. I would appreciate your help to improve my English, so that I can stop using “Chinglish.” Thank you.
As is well known, April Fools’ Day came to China from the West. When I first heard of it, I thought, “this is most interesting.” Since then, I have always wanted to prank someone. However, I never actually have.
This year, April Fools’ Day came a bit late for me. I received a special “gift” on April 2nd. Let me start from beginning…
While I was eating lunch that day, my mom called to say that she lost her key and wanted my help to find it. I then began looking for it everywhere I could think of. I believed, however, that she simply misplaced it and that it was not lost.
During the next 10 minutes, she called me five times. During the last call, she anxiously told me that she thought the key might have been accidentally thrown out with the garbage. Thus, I was destined to rummage through a dustbin for the lost key. How could this be? It was April 2nd, not April Fools’ Day. Perhaps I was being punished because of secret desire to prank someone.
I accepted my lot, changed my clothes and went outside to look for it. Luckily, because it is spring, the temperature was not hot. Soon thereafter, I found it! This was how I spent April 2nd, my "special" April Fools’ Day. I hope this never happens again!
My Delayed Special April Fools' Day--Finding the Key (我迟來的特别愚人节)
Hello, everyone,
I am learning the writing in English. I wrote it both in English and Chinese, but it was just translated in meaning, not a literal translation. I hope to get some help to improve it. so that I can speak natural, real English rather than the Chinglish. Thank you.
大家好,我在学习英文寫作。我用了中英对照的方式写的,但是只是意译,并不是直译。希望大家能帮助改进,使我能用正确地道的英文,而不是中国式英语的方式学习。谢谢。
