Describe a life changing experience.You should say:where it took place & who was with youwhat happenedhow it made you feeland explain how it changed your life.
I was only 6 or 7 years old then and went to visit my grandpa in our village. I had lots of cousins and many of them were similar to my age. Visiting the village was very exciting to me. One day I along with my cousins went to play in the evening and all of a sudden we decided to catch some fished from the nearby pond. We had no hook or net to catch fishes so we decided to do it with our bare hands.
那时我只有六七岁,去我们村里看望爷爷。我有很多表兄弟姐妹,其中很多和我年龄相仿。参观那个村庄对我来说很刺激。有一天晚上,我和表弟们去玩,突然我们决定去附近的池塘钓鱼。我们没有鱼钩也没有鱼网,所以我们决定徒手捕鱼。
There were no people around so no one was there to warn us. As we did not know how to swim and had no idea about the depthless of the river, we lost control and all of a sudden I found that I and my cousin were trying to get out of the water. We already got ourselves trapped in the deep water and were struggling to breathe. I barely remember what happened except that I was trying with my last effort to fight with water and get into the land. I can’t recall how much time had spent but suddenly I found that I was lying on my mother’s lap and was trying to find my cousin who faced the same fate as I did.
周围没有人,所以没有人来警告我们。由于我们不知道怎么游泳,也不知道河水有多深,我们失去了控制,突然我发现我和我的表弟正试图离开水。我们已经被困在深水中,挣扎着呼吸。我几乎不记得发生了什么事,只记得当时我正在用最后的力气与水搏斗,试图进入陆地。我不记得花了多少时间,但突然我发现我躺在我妈妈的腿上,试图找到我的表哥谁面临同样的命运,我做了。
Later I heard that both of us were almost sinking in the water and an old woman came to rescue us. She was a village dweller who came to take water from the pond and had noticed us. She single-handedly rescued me and then my cousin.
后来我听说我们俩都快沉进水里了,一个老妇人来救我们。她是一个村里的居民,她从池塘里取水,发现了我们。她一手救了我,然后又救了我的表妹。
This event was a life changing event for me. After that event, I learned how important it is to stay closer to parents and to heed to their advice. I also learned how fleeting our lives are and we out to help each other. From then I also started respecting all sort of people from all ages and always believed in human. When we are in danger, human (known and unknown) would come to rescue us. So we should never disrespect the human and always keep faith on them.
对我来说,这是一个改变生活的事件。在那次活动之后,我明白了与父母亲近和听从他们的建议是多么重要。我也知道了我们的生命是多么短暂,我们互相帮助。从那以后,我也开始尊重各个年龄层的人,并且一直相信人。当我们处于危险中时,人类(已知的和未知的)会来拯救我们。因此,我们永远不应该不尊重人类,永远对他们保持信心。
The tragic part is that the grandson of the old woman who saved us died in the water of a river. Knowing it I started strongly believing in fates and then the tests we are bound to face in our lives.
悲剧的是,救了我们的老妇人的孙子死在河里。知道了这一点,我开始强烈地相信命运,然后是我们在生活中必然要面对的考验。
