英语翻译
Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying.
"Why did they do this?"Kate wondered aloud."I mean,you can't learn if you can't understand the teacher."
Nadia's voice was a whisper."I understand English.I will learn."Nadia's English was perfect.
Kate was perplexed.She coundn't understand why Nadia did not like to speak.Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn't the easiest thing to do.There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn-all at the same time.
"There're a lot of new things to learn,huh?"said Kate.
Nadia nodded rapidly.In a quiet voice she replied,"Many things people say,I do not understand.I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life,but I do not know what some children are saying.For example,yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying.Isn't a port a place for ships?It made no sense yo me."
"Don't worry,"said Kate."You'll figure everything out in time.You see,that thin black box was a computer.A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer."
Nadia and Kate were quiet after that.They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson.To Kate's surprise,Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.
Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her.Some of the questions were really diffcult,and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher.When the teacher said that Nadia answered everything correctly,the whole class clapped their hands.
Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate."Some things,"she said in a normal voice,"are the same all over the world."
凯特不明白,为什么学校把纳迪亚放在一个她完全听不懂同学在说什么的班里.
“为什么这样做呢?”凯特大声问.“我的意思是,如果你连老师说什么都听不懂,根本没办法学习啊!”
纳迪亚低声耳语:“我懂英语,我会学习的.”纳迪亚的英语是完美的.
凯特困惑了.她不明白纳迪亚为什么不喜欢说英文.然后,她突然意识到,移民到一个新的国家可能不是最容易的事情.哪里有成千上万的不熟悉和不寻常的东西需要同时去学习和接受.
“是不是有很多新的东西需要学习?”凯特问.
纳迪亚迅速点了点头,用平静的声音回答说:“很多事情大家说的东西我都听不懂.我所有生活中都是讲英语和罗马尼亚语,但我不知道有些小孩子说的东西.比如昨天一个男孩问我能否帮他在手上拿着的一个黑色扁平的盒子上找到USB接口.那个接口难道不是船舶地方?我完全不懂.”(UNNCTC注:此处USB接口的单词port还有港口的意思.)
“别担心,”凯特说.“你慢慢都会懂的.那个薄黑匣子是叫电脑.一个USB端口是一个地方,你可以用它把其他设备连接到电脑上.”
纳迪亚和凯特安静了一会儿.老师在上面讲数学课,两人在下面记笔记.凯特惊讶地发现,纳迪亚举起手,表示愿意回答黑板上的问题.
纳迪亚认真回答着老师给的每一个问题.甚至有的题目非常难懂,除了纳迪亚和老师没有人听得懂他们在说什么.当老师宣布纳迪亚的答案全部正确的时候,全班响起了掌声.
纳迪亚微笑着坐回凯特旁边.“有些事情”,她用正常的声音说,“世界各地都是一样的.”
