10 句英文原文
" I am so glad," Sara said.
" I am so GLAD it was you who were my friend!"
中文翻译
他表现出孩子般的喜悦和创造力,而执行该计划的准备工作让许多原本会沉闷乏味的日子充满了趣味。
在宴会受挫的那天晚上,拉姆·达斯一直守望着,他所有的包裹都已准备就绪,放在他自己专属的阁楼里;而那个要帮助他的人也一直和他一起等待着,对这次奇特的冒险和他自己一样感兴趣。
拉姆·达斯一直平躺在石板上,透过天窗往里看,这时宴会已经灾难性地结束了;他确信萨拉已经疲惫不堪地沉沉睡去;然后,他提着一盏暗灯,悄悄溜进了房间,而他的同伴则留在外面,把东西递给他。
当萨拉极其微弱地动了一下时,拉姆·达斯关上了灯笼的滑板,平躺在地板上。
孩子们通过提出无数个问题,发现了这些以及许多其他令人兴奋的事情。
“我太高兴了,”萨拉说道。
“我真的很高兴,我的朋友是你!”
从来没有像这两个人成为的朋友这样的友谊。
不知何故,他们似乎以一种奇妙的方式彼此相配。
这位印度绅士从未有过像他喜欢萨拉那样喜欢的同伴。
