A Lesson I learnt in the reading-room
阅览室里的一次教训
The seats in our school reading-room are not enough for all the students.Many people get there very early to "seize" a seat every day.So do I.One day a "special" thing happened to me.And I learned a lesson that I shall never forget.
我们学校阅览室里的座位不多.每天很多人都很早就去“抢”座,我也是如此.一天,我经历了一件特殊的事,并从中学到了令我终生难忘的教训.
It happened on a Wednesday morning last January,just before our final examation.I got to the reading-room very early to occupy a seat.I put a book on the desk and then went to have breakfast.But when I hurried back into the reading-room,I found someone was sitting on the seat which I had occupied in advance.I ran to him immediatly and shouted at him angrily,"Go away.It's my seat." Everyone raised their eyes and stared at me unfriendly.My face turned red and I felt ashamed of myself.I took my book and fled helter-skelter before so many eyes.
这件事发生在去年一月份一个星期三的早晨,就在期末考试之前.我很早就到阅览室占了一个座位,然后去吃早饭.但当我匆忙返回到阅览室时,却发现一个人正坐在我占的座位上.我立即跑过去,对他生气地嚷道：“走开,这是我的座位.” 阅览室里所有的人都抬起头来,异样地看着我.我的脸一下子变红了,我为自己的行为感到惭愧.在众目睽睽之下,我拿起书狼狈地跑了出去.
I dared not go to the reading-room for several days.I learned a lesson in the reading-room.Since then I have been keeping the lesson in mind:To be polite to everyone.
一连好几天,我都不敢去阅览室.我在阅览室里得到了一个教训.从那以后,我一直铭记着这个教训：礼貌地对待每个人.
